I recently started the P90X3 routine, and I really couldn't justify the price of their Shakeology shakes on my budget. I'm sure they are good. But doing a lot of research, and what other people have done to have their own homemade blends, this is what I came too. I entered it in the database as "Homemade Protein Shake Boost".

This is a berry & (slightly) chocolate flavored homemade protein shake boost blend. Each batch makes 145 servings. High quality organic ingrediants at an economic price of less than one dollar per serving (I pay $0.78 per serving with Amazon subscriptions). Add to your favorite protein powder to make a tasty and nutritionally superior mix than just a plain protein shake.

Instructions:
You will need an airtight storage container with a 32 cup (7.6 liter) capacity minimum. A solid (not clear) color container is best. Split into two or containers if need be. The batch should be stored in a dark space, like a cupboard.

In your storage container, or a very large bowl, deposit the entire package for each ingrediant on the ingrediants list. Remember there are two packages of chia seeds. In a bowl mix slowly and gently with a whisk. If your storage container has a snap lid, place clear wrap over opening, snap on lid, then shake to combine. If your storage container has a screw lid, then screw on completely and shake to combine. May take 10-15 minutes to fully combine.

Now that your blend is prepared, add 3tbs (25g) to 16 oz of water, almond, rice, or soy milk. Optional, add your favorite protein powder to the drink blend. You can either let drink sit for 15 minutes, so chia seeds soften, or mix in a blender and enjoy. Depending on your blender the chia seeds may take one or two minutes to fully break up.

Chia seeds may stick in your teeth! I suggest drinking with a straw and/or using a blender for your beverage.
