    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.

    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 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.

    Could greek yogurt be used instead of cottage cheese?

    Reply

      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. 🙂

    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)
