Protein Shakes:

The Drink. The Myth. The Legend.

If you’re like me, you may struggle to take in enough protein. Yes, eating a balanced meal is always the healthiest option.

Also YES, is the reality that sometimes making, preparing, heating and eating an actual meal is hard.

Thank you, Protein Shakes!

A little tip:

Double your ingredients and store in a stainless steel tumbler. As long as the tumbler or thermos is insulated, the ingredients and consistency will hold, and you’ll have your yummy shake for tomorrow already made!

Protein Shakes come in all shapes and sizes, with different calorie counts and different protein amounts. Some are prepackaged, some come in powder.

Did you know you can search for protein soup or protein coffee, and that’s a thing?

I get my protein wherever I can, depending on how I’m feeling, both physically and mentally.

I also believe that you shouldn’t have to eat something that you don’t like.

**(I give my kids “Greens & Reds” vitamins to mitigate the vegetable drama at dinner).

I add all the things, and sometimes, very few things. I make sure to drink a shake with ~30 grams of protein. I add yogurt, skinny syrups, coffee cream, frozen fruit, protein powder, and a variety of powdered items: lemon, cucumber, mint, maqui berry, yerba, ginger, greens, Himalayan salt, and chia seeds. Sometimes I add in spinach leaves (you don’t even taste them), and blend aggressively with my ninja.

Sometimes I use coffee as my base, and sometimes water, it just depends what I have.
