Wow Gwen… this sounds amazing!
Oh that milkshake sounds so good- I can’t wait to try it! That’s one of my favorite girl scout cookies also so it will hit the spot.
Maybe this is a dumb question and I just don’t know enough about it yet, as I haven’t yet read the book. But why, if you use cottage cheese (dairy), bother using almond milk? This does sound super yummy!
From someone who loves Gwen’s Shakes, the cottage cheese is what really makes it turn into a milkshake. It is so creamy in texture and will fool you into thinking you added real ice cream into the blender. The almond milk is just a thinner consistency and helps everything get blended together nicely.
The cottage cheese gives it a creamy texture…the almond milk just pulls the calories down. With THM, we don’t use regular milk in the weight loss portion and especially in S meals, due to the lactose or milk sugars. But we can enjoy lots of other dairy options including cottage cheese.
My hubby is gonna be VERY happy when I make this for him!!
That’s crazy! Minus the coconut, I had tweaked your Thin Mint Shake (which I love!) in the same way to make a chocolate caramel shake. Can’t wait to try this version.
I tried this earlier – it. was. amazing! Definitely a new staple in my THM kitchen!
Where do you find sugar free caramel? Yum!
I haven’t found a sugar free caramel that I enjoy yet. But the whole toasted coconut with sugar free sweetener gives a pretty good crunchy caramel texture that is SO delicious!
This was fantastic! Although I don’t like the hardened chocolate in my shakes so I always sub with 1T cocoa powder.
I also loved your comment about THM not being a low carb plan. I love both E’s and S meals! Yay for a balanced diet.
AMEN to that! 🙂
Just tried the Samoa Milkshake – AWESOME! Hubby and I agree it’s our favorite dessert now!
Awesome! Don’t miss the bulk topping mix recipe here: https://gwens-nest.com/family-favorite-recipes/sugar-free-coconut-caramel-crunch/
Just made this & it was wonderful!
This shake was absolutely awesome!!!!
Thank you!
This shake and the bulk topping are my new favorite THM recipes! I dream about them and when I will eat them next.. Great recipes!!!
where can I find the caramel extract? Which brand do you use Gwen? Thanks!!! Can’t wait to try 🙂
I got mine at Walmart. It is Watkins brand. 🙂
I thought this was one of the best things THM that I have tried in a while. I want another but I don’t have any cottage cheese right now and it is so filling. thnks to Jennifer for this one.

AMAZING!!! I used homemade cottage cheese instead of store-bought, and I think it made it even better!
I am finally following the instructions on this recipe…to send a love note! SERIOUSLY!!! This recipe is SOOOOO yummy and is one of my absolute favorites!! Truly! THANK you for sharing it with the THM world!! 🙂 🙂
Blessings to you!! (and thanks for being an inspiration to so many!!)

♥♥♥ Thank you, Beckie!
Wow! this was so good! I want to just eat the topping for a snack! lol Thanks for the recipe!
What is sugar free brown sugar??
https://gwens-nest.com/sugar-free-brown-sugar-recipe/
A mix I make to sub in recipes that gives a very similar flavor to brown sugar. 🙂
This is me sending you a love note for providing me with an AWESOME lunch today 🙂 Thank you.
♥ Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
Could greek yogurt be used instead of cottage cheese?
You can try it, but Greek Yogurt has more of a tangy taste to me that I don’t love with chocolate as much.
Do you publish the nutrition info for your recipes? I’m new to the blog, and wondered if this info is available. Thank you.
Hi Judy!
I don’t, but if you use Yummly, they will calculate it when you save the recipes to your recipe box. 🙂 I do often provide the net carbs and fats for recipes, but the THM plan that I follow doesn’t require me to consider certain types of carbs, so if you need extremely accurate nutrient info, then consider using Yummly or an app like My Fitness Pal. 🙂
This is so good, its amazing! Thank you for sharing this Jessica!
I have never posted a comment on a blog before, but I absolutely felt the need to tell you OH. MY. GOSH. This shake is amazing!!! The toasted coconut is incredible. I feel like I went to dairy Queen or hunted down a little cookie pusher and got a sugar fix!! Thank you for this, I cannot wait to try more! Also, this recipe split nicely into 3 decent sized shakes! (One for me, one dh, and one for my breakfast! We had to use a bit more ice to thicken it up)
Thank you, Ashley! You made my day!
This is amazing!! I made it without the topping and didn’t miss it at all. Can’t wait to make it again!! Thank you for sharing.
