Ricotta Milkshake

Yep. You read the title right, ricotta cheese in a "milkshake".  I got the idea from somewhere that I read you swap out ice cream with sweetened ricotta for a sweet late night treat.  Makes sense to me...I love ricotta!

I haven't played with this recipe much and am currently addicted to it just as it is but I'm sure you could variate quite a bit depending on flavor preferences.  Here is what I currently make, and I apologize for the lack of specifics, I tried to measure things out but it just didn't taste as good as when I wing it.

So I just throw it all in the blender and blend until smooth.

• A few ice cubes (maybe 5 or so)
• A couple of heaping spoonfuls of my PB chia pudding
• A couple of heaping spoonfuls of ricotta cheese
• 1/2 tsp of stevia sweetener (we got this at the Epic Conference so we're trying it out)
• Almond milk to blend
• Note: you can add a little vanilla extract or use a vanilla flavored almond milk, the PB flavor is subtle so adding too much vanilla will lose the PB taste.

Now, if you are not as poor as I am, and you want to make this vegan, just buy Kite Hill's ricotta cheese (I LOVE it! and you can buy it at Whole Foods) and swap that out with the regular ricotta cheese.
