I have the greatest idea for when all you want to do is shove an entire box of cookies in your mouth.

Drink it instead!

In the form of a Samoa cookie protein shake, which might be the only thing you’ll want to drink for the rest of your life.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that I like to indulge.  Honestly, I probably overindulge on most occasions [refer back to eating entire boxes of cookies…].

Just recently I was telling my sister that I wasn’t sure what time of the year I eat more sweets.  During the holidays.  Or during Girl Scout cookie season.

And since I’ve been on a protein shake kick lately, I knew I had to make one inspired by my favorite I-can’t-stop-eating-until-the-box-is-empty cookies, so that I can continue to devour the flavor but not go up two pants sizes in the process.  It was probably one of my best ideas, if I do say so myself.

We have an  icy refreshing breakfast/dessert/snack-because-I-can’t-stop-drinking-this shake filled with that perfect flavor combo: caramel & coconut.

With a special little ingredient.

Chocolate pudding.  Oh my WORD.  Just a couple tablespoons added to your blender and you’ll wonder if you’re drinking a milkshake.  Loaded with ice cream.  Because it thickens up the shake perfectly and adds a flavor that cocoa powder alone can’t achieve.

I am now considering adding pudding mix to all my shakes.
