On the Fourth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me… A Protein Shake That Tasted Just Like a Gingerbread Cookie!!!
I never did meet a cookie I didn’t like…But a ‘cookie’ in the form of a a protein packed shake that is as rich and creamy as a milk shake… Well, it may sound too good to be true, but I’ve got good news, it is finally here in the form of this seasonal Dashing Dish protein shake! Enjoy!
In all of my shakes I use DESIGNER WHEY 100% Premium Whey Protein Powder! It tastes awesome, is affordable, and is 100% natural!

Oh you read my mind! I passed by a Starbucks yesterday and was just thinking I wish I had a recipe for a gingerbread drink. I was able to avoid the pumpkin spice because of your version of the latte, which is amazing, looking forward to trying this one.

What brand of protein powder do you use?
Kelsey said:
Wow maybe I should read the whole post :)

I made this shake for my post workout snack and it was amazing! The first time I blended it I used four packets of stevia in the raw and it wasn’t quite sweet enough. To fix the problem I added 1 tsp of splenda brown sugar blend (0 WWP+) and it was perfect!

Thank you for this! I have been craving gingerbread! Can’t wait to try it.

SO GOOD! Best shake yet :)
Audrey said:
If we use maple extract should we lower the amount? You call for 1 tbs. Perhaps it should only be 1 tsp. Just wanted to check. THANKS!
Dashing Dish said:
That’s correct :)
Jessie said:
How much tofu would you use to replace the cottage cheese?

This one is a keeper! I made gingerbread cookies with the kids yesterday and resisted their call. This morning I made this shake and I’m glad I did!
Andrea said:
This will definitely satisfy a gingerbread cookie craving!!! It tastes delicious AND with the dairy and protein it will keep you full and satisfied!
Sidenote, the weightwatcher points are really 5. Individually, the WWP+ add up to 4; however, when you use the recipe builder on weightwatchers.com, they calculate it up to 5 points.
Try the recipe!!! :)
Andrea said:
Oops! I only had 2% cottage cheese; if you do use fat free cottage cheese, the WWP+ is only 4 points :)
Kate Lanham said:
Actually, I read an article on the WW website that said the recipe builder is not meant for individual recipes because it makes the total points plus higher than it should be sometimes. It takes the nutritional content of each food rather than understanding that some items are zero points despite their nutrition content. The recipe builder is best to use when making a recipe that has a lot of servings.

just wanted you to know so that you weren’t restricting yourself too much :)

I had this for breakfast today. AMAZING!
Madi said:
Is the cottage cheese absolutely necessary? I’m fresh out and can’t make it to the store but would love to make this in the morning!
Dashing Dish said:
no…you could use yogurt or 1 more scoop of protein powder, although i cant promise it will taste the same :)
Filoner said:
Sounds amazing! 1/4 cup of protein powder seems a lot though? Was that a typo?
Dashing Dish said:
nope! :) that equals one scoop
Annie said:
I’ve never tried a protein shake (my brother has been drinking them for years) so I thought I’d try them out. I absolutely LOVE this recipe, and I can’t believe the similarity to the gingerbread cookie!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Elisha said:
I think you’re genius
Maree Brown said:
How much tofu should you use if you are going to replace the cottage cheese? Also, does it change the WWP points? I suppose it would depend on the type of tofu…. THANKS!
Dashing Dish said:
1/2 cup
