Slim & Sassy Trim Shake for WW Friendly Protein Shakes and Smoothies

My Protein Powder of Choice: Slim & Sassy® Trim Shake

I've had several readers inquire about which protein powder I use for my smoothies and protein shakes, a summer breakfast and/or lunch staple.

The simple answer is Slim and Sassy Trim Shake (affiliate link).

I'm a doTERRA Wellness Advocate. I love their essential oils. I believe in the company. I trust the products and place an order every month. So it's the logical, easy choice.

That being said, if I didn't like it I wouldn't continue to use it. But I tried both vanilla and chocolate, liked them and have stayed with them.

If you're interested, here's my basic smoothie/protein shake "recipe"…

 

My Basic Smoothie/Protein Shake Template

Combine in my Vitamix Blender (affiliate link) and blend until smooth, adding more liquid if necessary:

• ⅓ cup cottage cheese
• ½ frozen banana
• 1 cup frozen berries or other fruit
• 1 scoop Slim & Sassy® TrimShake (affiliate link) (or protein powder of choice)
• Optional sweetener to taste
• Optional handful of greens
• a large handful of ice
• ½ cup water or more to achieve desired thickness

I'm not the kind of person to spend hours researching the pros and cons of various protein powders. My only requirement is that they be free of artificial sweeteners. Splenda/sucralose gives me a terrible headache and the other common sugar alcohols like malitol weak havoc with my digestive system.

I appreciate that Trim Shake uses stevia instead of evaporated cane juice or sugar.

As a longtime yoga practitioner and teacher, I find the addition of Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb used to help the body cope with external stresses such as toxins in the environment and internal stresses such as anxiety and insomnia, attractive.

Here's a TrimShake video from doTERRA:
