This protein shake is a delicious recipe with Girl Scout Cookies. Use Peanut Butter Patties or Thin Mints in this delicious Girl Scout Cookie Protein Shake.
Do you think it’s a coincidence that Girl Scout Cookies are sold each year in January? I mean, here you have all of these people pledging healthy resolutions and next thing you know then there’s a Girl Scout on every corner. They get you when you come out of the grocery store, presumably after filling your cart with nothing but fruits and vegetables, but how can you possibly say no to those sweet little faces? I know the feeling… as Mom of a Brownie, my office is full of cases of Girl Scout Cookies. Now I’m sitting here trying to think of how to use them all in a recipe with Girl Scout Cookies rather than just eat them all one by one!
I didn’t make any resolutions this year and generally adhere to ‘everything in moderation’, but I did vow not to eat as many cookies this season as I did last year. I got a little out of control and way above “moderation” with the Thin Mints.
I have a protein shake every day, usually after my workouts, and today I noticed that the Peanut Butter Patties Girl Scout Cookies were just sitting there inconspicuously beside my Blendtec. I like to add a scoop of peanut butter or PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter to my protein shakes with an occasional drizzle of chocolate, so when I saw the cookies I had a light bulb moment. Girl Scout Cookies Protein Shake! I tossed in two cookies with my usual almond milk, banana, and protein. (This is the brand of protein I typically buy.) The result was delicious and with only 65 per cookie, I really don’t feel bad about adding them in. I’m going to have to try Thin Mints next!

Looks delish!! Our cookies don't make an appearance until April & it's nearly June before they actually get delivered. Sort of a bummer while everyone is posting recipes with them all that time. Maybe I can order online.
