Brace yourself – there are 7 recipes in this post so you might want to pin this for later 😉

Cinnamon Chocolate Protein Shake

After our workout, we were given the Cinnamon Chocolate Protein Shake in a cool NOW shaker cup with compartments, super handy! I couldn’t have the shake because it had dairy in it, but everyone said it tasted awesome. I swapped out the milk in this recipe to make it dairy-free 🙂
