So admit it, protein shakes can get boring.
While mixing protein powder and water or almond milk is the best option for keeping your carbs and calories low, making a delicious smoothie is a great way to mix things up! (<<<Do you see what I did there???)
These 4 quick and easy recipes add minimal sugar and are packed with metabolism boosting protein.
Ultimate Peach Smoothie Ingredients:
-1 scoop vanilla protein powder
-1 cup Crystal Lite peach tea
-4-6 frozen peach slices
-4 ice cubes
Mix in blender until smooth
Peanut Butter Banana Shake Ingredients:
-1 cup fat-free milk or unsweetened vanilla almond milk
-1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
-1/4 – 1/2 banana (a little goes a long way)
-1 scoop Vanilla or Chocolate protein powder
Mix in blender until smooth
Iced Mocha Latte Ingredients:
-2 scoops chocolate protein powder
-1 cup leftover cold coffee (decaf if later in the day, I prefer hazelnut)
-1 T fat free sugar free vanilla pudding mix
-a splash of sugar free hazelnut coffee syrup
-a few ice cubes
Mix in blender until smooth
Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie Ingredients:
-1 cup water or 4 oz. milk/4 oz. water
-1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 T. SF Jello Cheesecake Pudding Powder
3-4 Frozen or Fresh Strawberries
-2 ice cubes (or frozen Greek yogurt cubes for creamier taste)
Mix in blender until smooth
Skip the candy bar or ice cream and give your body, metabolism and energy a boost!
The best time to drink these would be to jumpstart your day or a mid-afternoon boost before your workout. If you are craving a late night treat, try using less fluid to make it thicker like an ice cream.
Also, stick to low sugar or sugar free alternatives later in the day for a guilt free indulgence!
Enjoy 🙂
