You ever get a random idea that you are soooo sure is gonna be delicious that you you can’t stop thinking about it until you try it? Then you try it & it’s as good as you thought & now you eat it everyday? Yeah, that’s this recipe. It was inspired by one of my favorite ice cream flavors I used to get on family vacations in Hilton Head, SC. It was a bright blue vanilla ice cream with cookie dough & cookie pieces in it called Cookie Monster. So here’s my take: a nutrient packed, plant based, refined sugar free, gluten free Cookie Monster protein shake!
