Here is some great tips for making a protein shake. I like to add spinach to my shakes for added goodness! Visit the site here.
Step 1: Start with ice
- Use 1-4 cubes for a thin, chilled shake
- Use 5-10 cubes for thicker, pudding-like consistency shake
| Step 2: Pick A Fruit | Step 3: Pick A Veggie | Step 4: Pick A Protein Powder | Step 5: Pick A Nut/Seed | Step 6: Pick A Liquid | Step 7: Pick Your Topper |
| Frozen banana | Dark leafy greens: Kale/Swiss chard/spinach (stems optional) | Whey protein | Walnuts | Almond milk (unsweetened) | Coconut |
| Frozen berries/berries | Pumpkin/sweet potato | Rice protein | Flax, hemp, chia seeds | Soy milk (unsweetened) | Cacao nibs, dark chocolate |
| Dates | Beets/beet greens | Pea protein | Cashews | Hemp milk (unsweetened) | Pomegranate seeds, goji berries |
| Pineapple/mango | Cucumber/celery | Hemp protein | Almonds | Iced green tea | Oats, granola |
| Powdered fruit supplement | Powdered greens supplement | Other proteins or protein blend | Nut butter | Water | Cinnamon |
| Notes: Frozen bananas give an excellent consistency. Using half of a banana is usually enough.
Dates are very sweet. Make sure to get rid of the pit first. |
Notes: Canned pumpkin is great. It goes well with vanilla.
When using beets, try roasting and removing the skin first. Beets go well with chocolate. If you add celery/cucumber, make sure to adjust the amount of liquid you add. |
Notes: Some protein powders have thickeners added. This will increase the thickness of your shake.
Find the protein supplement that you digest well and enjoy the taste of. |
Notes: Nuts and seeds give the shake an excellent consistency.
A handful is usually enough. |
Notes: Less liquid = thick shakes. –More liquid = thin shakes.
Adding liquid at the end of the process can improve how the shake initially blends. |
Notes: A little goes a long way.
Cinnamon is good with vanilla and pumpkin. |
