Ingredients

1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder Isolate preferred for texture
0.25 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese Ensures the authentic creamy cannoli flavor
1 Unsweetened Almond Milk Or any milk of choice
0.5 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
0.25 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tbsp Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Plus extra for garnish
0.125 tsp Orange Zest Freshly grated for aromatic citrus notes
1 cup Ice Cubes Adjust for desired thickness

Notes

For a thicker, milkshake-like texture, use frozen almond milk cubes instead of regular ice. If you prefer a sweeter shake, add 1-2 drops of liquid stevia or a teaspoon of honey. This shake is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 hours; just re-shake or stir before drinking as the ricotta may settle.
