Ingredients:
1 scoop low-carb vanilla protein powder
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
Zest and juice from one lemon

Directions: Blend the protein powder, coconut milk, lemon zest and juice, and ice (if desired) until smooth and then drink: easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!

Protein: 20-30 grams (protein powder: 20-30g, coconut milk: 0-1g)
Carbs: 3-7 grams (protein powder: 3-5g, coconut milk: 0-2g)
