Cake Batter Protein Shake

I found this recipe on Pinterest (original recipe here) and wasn't expecting much when I first saw it but my curiosity was peaked at the use of cottage cheese and sugar-free jello so I gave it a shot.
 
Oh.Em.Gee.

You'll need:
 
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
3-5 drops butter or almond extract
1 tbsp. vanilla sugar free instant Jell-O pudding mix
3-5 packets sweetener (I used Splenda)
1/2 cup - 1 cup water (alter for desired consistency)
5-10 ice cubes (also alter for consistency - use less for thinner shake)
 
Optional:
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum (I used guar gum and works just as well)
Sprinkles for topping
 
 
 
Then you'll:
 
Place all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into glass, add sprinkles and serve.
 
 
 
Happy Blending!
