Instructions
- 1
For stovetop preparation: In a small saucepan, warm the vanilla shake over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a pleasant warmth without boiling, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Lower the heat to its lowest setting and incorporate the white chocolate chips. Keep stirring continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, which should take an additional 30 to 60 seconds.

For microwave preparation, pour the shake into a large microwave-safe mug along with the white chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave for 1 ½ minutes, ensuring to stir thoroughly halfway through, until it is heated all the way through and the chocolate is melted and creamy. If desired, add whipped cream on top and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Notes & Tips
- *The flavor of this drink will depend on the vanilla protein shake you choose, so pick one you love. I don’t recommend using powdered protein here, as it tends to be too gritty and won’t blend well. I’ve tested several liquid protein shakes and found that Fairlife Nutrition Plan Vanilla and Orgain Clean Protein Shake in Vanilla Bean work best. For a vegan option, Ripple Vanilla is a fantastic choice.
