Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk cold
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
- 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese for creamy texture
- 1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste for authentic pizza flavor
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano Italian herb blend
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder for savory depth
- 1/4 tsp onion powder for savory depth
- 1 cup ice cubes for thick, cold texture
Notes
For best results, use cold ingredients straight from the refrigerator. This shake is best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. For a thicker shake, reduce almond milk by 2 tablespoons or add an extra 1/4 cup of ice. For a dairy-free version, substitute with dairy-free cheese and protein powder. The cottage cheese provides a creamy texture similar to ricotta in a pizza pocket.
