Hello!

I'd like to hear how some of you make your protein shakes/ smoothies etc. Especially if you strength train/lift weights or run distance like me.

For my recipe, it's rather simple:

1- 2 cups - mixed frozen fruit. (peaches, mango, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc) (80 calories)
1 tbl - Adam's natural creamy peanut butter (100 calories)
1 scoop- Natural whey protein powder, Chocolate flavor. (100 calories)
1 cup- Unsweetened Original Almond Milk (35 calories)

TOTAL: 315 calories. (May vary depending on the amount of fruit)

It's very healthy and keeps you full until dinner time. Great substitute for lunch!

Feel free to share yours too.

    1 C Light Coconut Milk or Regular Coconut Milk
    1/2 C frozen or fresh fruit\
    1 banana
    1/2 C Green Leaf Lettuce, Kale, Romaine or Red Leaf Lettuce
    3 TBL Hemp Protein Powder

    This is usually 300-400 Cals depending on if I use Regular or Light Coconut Milk

    Sheenanyann, what type of blender do you have? I don't think my magic bullet will blend up Kale or leafy greens....but I will still try regardless. Thanks for the tips ladies.....Before I joined this site, I was constantly skipping breakfast or lunch. I think I need to buy a better blender. My protein shakes are literally powdered products from GNC, but you way is much better.

    The other day I made a shake for breakfast that had a scoop of Optimum Nutrition double rich chocolate, a cup of light vanilla almond milk, a tablespoon of PB2, a banana, and 45g of baby spinach. It was really good and around 350 calories, which is usually what I eat for breakfast.

    I made this again this morning but swapped the PB2 for half a tablespoon of dark cocoa powder. It was super chocolatey!

    DAIRY-FREE. GLUTEN-FREE. DELIGHT!

    I'm experimenting to find a high protein, high fiber smoothie breakfast recipe that keeps me satisfied until lunch. Here is a winner from today:

    1 C Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze 30 cals
    2/3 C Frozen mango chunks 100 cals
    2 scoops Brown Rice Protein Powder 110 cals

    240 Calories.
    15 g Protein
    3 g Fiber

    Blend and go.

    Tomorrow, I am adding 1 T of pre-soaked Chia Seeds for an additional 3g Protein and 5g Fiber.
    Totals for this version will be:
    300 Calories.
    18 g Protein
    8 g Fiber
