When making a protein shake or smoothie, or a simple coffee, why not boost that idea and make this insanely delicious combination – resulting in a freakshake! Bake some easy high protein, chocolate chunk cookies for on the side and dunking in, then for the star of the show: frozen bananas, coffee, nut butter and and cinnamon whizzed up, smothered with dark chocolate on the side and topped with a cocoa-dusted whipped cream.

Divide into 9 pieces and roll into balls. Place on a lined baking tray and press down with your hand into a cookie circle. Bake at 180C for 10-12 minutes until golden, then leave to cool.
Mix together the icing sugar, nut butter and a dash of water until slightly runny and drizzle over each cookie. Allow to set for 30 minutes.
For the freakshake – Melt the coconut oil and chocolate then set aside for 5 minutes. Drizzle down the sides of a clear glass/mug.
Add your frozen bananas, yogurt, milk, coffee, nut butter, Collagen Cream,er syrup and cinnamon to a blender and whizz up until quite thick and smooth. Pour this into your glass.
Whip up the cream and use a nozzle piping bag to pipe onto the top. Dust over some cocoa powder through a sieve.
Add a cookie on the side of your glass and enjoy!
