Ingredients:

2 tbsp. (1 scoop) Tera's Whey Bourbon Vanilla Whey Protein (or another vanilla protein powder with similar stats)

1 packet (about 1 tsp.) sugar-free orange powdered drink mix (like the one by SunKist or the kind by Crystal Light)

1/4 tsp. xanthan gum powder (like the kind by Anthony's)

1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 1/2 cups crushed ice (about 12 ice cubes)

2 tbsp. light whipped topping (thawed from frozen)

Directions:

In a tall glass, combine protein powder, drink mix, and xanthan gum. Add 3 oz. hot water, and stir to dissolve.

Transfer mixture to a blender. Add almond milk and ice. Blend at high speed until smooth, stopping and stirring if needed.

Pour half of the blended drink into the tall glass. Top with whipped topping, followed by the rest of the drink.
