Hey everyone, try these shakes out.
Hot Cocoa (Low-Carb & Bedtime)
1 cup fat-free milk
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
1 packet Swiss Miss Diet Milk Chocolate hot cocoa
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
Heat milk until hot (but not boiling) & pour in blender. Add protein, cocoa & cottage cheese; blend until mostly smooth.
Tip: Wondering why there’s no casein in this nighttime beverage? Cottage cheese provides all the slow-digesting protein you need to get through the night.
Peach Cobbler (Morning, Pre-workout & Anytime)
1 cup water
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
½ cup sliced peaches in juice, drained
1 packet Quaker Lower Sugar Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal
Combine all ingredients; blend.
Tip: Unless you like the grit of uncooked oatmeal, you’ll need to pull out the big guns for this recipe, Use either a blender or an immersion blender.
Lemon Drop (Post-workout)
2 cups lemonade
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 scoop vanilla casein protein
Add ingredients to receptacle of choice & shake or stir to combine.
Tip: Look for all-natural lemonade that contains sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Besides, being unhealthy in large amounts, HFCS is not the best form of sugar to have in your post workout shake.
Orange Creamsicle (Morning, Pre-workout & Anytime)
1 cup orange juice
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
½ cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
Combine all ingredients; blend.
Tip: Be sure you buy real orange juice, not orange “drinks” or anything with less than 100% fruit juice.
Root Beer Float (Post-workout)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 scoop vanilla casein protein
½ cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
1 ½ cups root beer
In a separate bowl, slowly mix the protein powders into the yogurt, adding a little at a time & stirring well to avoid clumping. Pour root beer into a large glass & carefully add yogurt mixture. Do not stir.
Tip: The root beer’s carbonation makes this an extremely frothy shake to prepare, even though there’s no actual shaking. Make sure to use a much larger glass then normal.
Chocolate Almond Brownie (Pre-workout & Anytime)
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
1 cup fat-free milk
½ Clif Chocolate Brownie bar, finely chopped
½ cup chopped almonds
Put protein in milk & mix well. Top with Clif bar & almonds.
Tip: Keep a spoon hands for eating this shake-the bar & almonds will settle to the bottom of your glass.
PB & CB (Morning, Pre-workout & Anytime)
1 cup fat-free milk
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
2 Tbsp. peanut butter
1 medium banana
Combine all ingredients; blend.
Tip: Look for natural peanut butter, which won’t have added sweeteners or stabilizers. Don’t be concerned if there’s a layer of oil at the top; just stir that in before using, then store the jar in the fridge.
Mocha (Morning, Pre-workout & Anytime)
1 cup hot coffee
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
2 Tbsp. honey
Combine all ingredients, mix.
Tip: Fitting this shake into your low-carb diet is easy-just cut the honey.
