KETO Friendly Egg Fast Mocha Protein Shake (16 Grams Protein)

A Delicious Mocha Shake that is perfect for breakfast,
or lunch, even though it tastes like dessert!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold coffee
2 pasteurized eggs
2 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/1/2 teaspoons unsweetened dark cocoa powder
2 tablespoons Lakanto Classic Monkfruit granulated sweetener or 1 tablespoon granulated Pyure sweetener
1 cup ice cubes

Method:
Allow the cream cheese to soften, at room temperature, or heat for 20 seconds in a microwave oven. Add all of the ingredients, except for the ice cubes, to a blender and process until creamy. Add the ice and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass that can hold 16 ounces. If desired, sprinkle with a dash of nutmeg. Enjoy! Makes one 16 ounce serving.

Note: I doubled this recipe, because my husband and I were doing an egg fast, together. It is our new favorite shake!

An egg fast is a short-term diet plan that involves eating mainly eggs, cheese, and butter. It's popular among people who seek to break through weight loss plateaus, especially those on ketogenic diets. Three to five days is the most common (and recommended) duration of a typical Egg Fast.
