2 Tbsp Whipping Cream (heavy cream, not cream out of a can)
1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter

less calories and a diet type shake. Use V-8 diet juice in addition. Manipulate carbs with MRP, amount of fruit or more milk.

IBC or other root beer that is creamy)
2 scoops Vanilla whey protein (carb-free)
4-6 ice cubes
2 Tbsp Whipping cream (heavy cream, not from a can)
Blend carefully!! Blend whipping cream, 4-6 ice cubes and enough water to make a paste out of protein, then add a little A&W at a time. Your blender will explode if you add it all at once!
