Shay challenged me to create a mango protein shake under 200 calories. I did not dance around, I went straight to my blender and whipped up this low calorie, highly-delicious…

Mango Tango

• 1/3 cup frozen mangos [35 cals]
• 1/2 cup unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk – [25 cals]
• 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (not quite a ‘full scoop’) – [100 cals]
• 3/4 – 1 cup water
• Ice
• Stevia to taste

Combine all ingredients in a mixer. Blend. Garnish with one of those cute little umbrellas.

How does it taste? Exactly like a refreshing tropical vacation, minus the sand and cabana boy. But Shay didn’t ask for all that, so my work here is done.

Now I really must go give Shay a call and tell her to shake up some mangos and whey.

You know how Bethenny Frankel created the Skinny Margarita? Well, I am happy to report, I have created the Skinny Piña Colada. Sort of.

Unlike Bethenny’s margarita, my Piña Colada is alcohol-free, and protein-full, which is great if you…

• Are under 21
• Are getting ready for bathing suit season
• Are pregnant like Bethenny (Congrats, by the way!)
• Have really good taste!

I won’t keep you much longer because you’ll be wanting to mix up a batch of these refreshing, guilt-free…

Piña Colada Protein Popsicles

• 1 cup Vanilla Protein Freeze
• 1 cup So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk
• 1/2 cup Chopped Pineapple
• Shredded Coconut to taste (totally optional)

Blend all ingredients together in an electronic mixer. You can also stir in a few pieces of pineapple for a chunkier treat if you’d like. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 1-2 hours. Enjoy! Makes 4 popsicles at 127 cals, 2 grams fat, 9 grams carbs, 17 grams protein per popsicle.

Now I really must go to yoga and get caught in the rain.
