Piña Colada Protein Shake

Oh My Goodness  This Is Good!

Try this out on a hot sunny day. I ended up making a double batch and froze my leftovers. When you partially thaw and then re-blend it - it becomes a Piña Colada Frosty!

(again this came from the Oxygen Magazine that I'm loving! Cut 'n paste baby ;)

The only amendments I would suggest is maybe a little less cottage cheese and more protein mix as it can taste a little "cheesy" for some :) as well make sure to put your ice in at the last minute as it tends to not be icy enough.  But otherwise - yuuuuummmmmy! A guilt free indulgence!
