I just wanted to tell you that your mint skinny chocolate is the BEST. I LOVE IT. I almost cried tonight thinking I couldn’t find the link but I googled skinny chocolate and I found it again. Now I think I’m following you on pinterest! or at least I pinned that recipe. I want to try this shake. Thank you so much!

When you talk about using the peppermint essential oil, is that from the line of Essential Oils? I was guessing it is, but wanted to be sure.

Julie

I’m not sure which line you are talking both Michelle. I use Young Living personally but I’m sure there are other Peppermint oils that are food safe.

Your KAL pure stevia has maltodextrin, making it not THM friendly. Look for sweeteners without maltodextrin or dextrose. 🙂

Julie

Yes! You are exactly right Stephanie! KAL used to have stevia extract that didn’t contain maltodextrin in it. Sadly, they changed the formula. 🙁 But I got in on it before the maltodextrin was added. The Whole Foods 365 brand of stevia extract is my new recommendation for anyone looking for stevia, (has great flavor too). I suspect that it will be 10 more years before I need to buy anymore. LOL!

How big is your scoop of protein powder? I’m trying to make sure it’s the same as mine and I don’t want to dump in too much…

Hi Marian! I think the scoops are standard sizes across the board. But to be sure, I measured and mine measures to be 1/3 cup.
