NEED IDEAS FOR HEALTHY SHAKES :)

I guess it is more of a "Smoothie" than a "Shake" but:

Organic Plain Yogurt - 1 Serving
Organic Fat Free Milk - About 1/2 cup
Organic Frozen Fruit of Your Choice - 1 Bag (Cherries are best. Strawberries, Blackberries, Peaches are all great too!)

If you do it after a workout, you can put a scoop of Fruit Punch CellMass Creatine in too and it gives it a sour kick and helps with muscle recovery.

It's about 225 calories. Very filling. Great in the summer.

for breakfast I have been making this:

nautures spiru tein 1 scoop
1/2 cup frozen berries
2 splenda packets
1cup water
1/4 cup ground flax seeds

My favorite shake is Chocolate Shakeology, it is soooo good!
1 cup of ice
1 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
Throw it all in a blender and there you have it, healthiest shake around
You can also throw in fresh fruit of your choice, a TBSP of Peanut Butter or whatever sounds good to you. Highly recommend it!

does anyone have a recipe that is not high in sugar since i'm diabetic?

A favorite shake of mine consists of Vanilla or Chocolate flavored "Aria Whey Protein" (for women), 1 banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter, and unsweetened almond milk or soy milk.
Yum!

My favourite is a post work-out Green Monster with chocolate, PB, strawberries and blueberries! It's DIVINE!

1 cup almond milk
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 Tbsp natural PB
2 handfuls baby spinach
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries

It's super thick and massively filling but great for after a really long workout. Tons of great recipes at www.greenmonstermovement.com - Enjoy!

1 scoop of body fortress protein powder (cookies n cream is the brand I am using atm)
1 small banana or 1/2 a large one
4-5 strabwerries frozen ones
1 tbsp flax seed (added fiber and great for the heart)
1 cup of very cold water alternatively you can use some ice
1/2 tsp cinamon for the antibacterial properties and the taste
Blend till smooth

My standard recipe for 2 smoothies is:

•1/2 c plain non-fat yogurt
•1 cup “milk” (skim/soy/almond)
•1 small or medium frozen banana **makes it smooth and adds texture and sweetness, but you can skip if you want**
•2 tsp. flax seed
•2 scoops vanilla protein powder**I stick to vanilla b/c it is more versatile and you can always add cocoa if you want chocolate**
•6-8 ice cubes or to desired frozen texture

To customize them, you can add any of the following. And while I don’t recommend you use them all at once, the peanut butter/coffee/cocoa combo is one of my favorites. It does pack a punch calorically, but I guarantee you will be full for the morning!

•Berries
•Peanut butter
•Coffee (1/2 c brewed, but decrease your milk by same amount, OR I often just use a tsp. of finely ground coffee, but NOT instant)
•Cocoa powder
•1/4 c pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice (pumpkin Pie smoothie)
•Juice from 2 freshly squeezed limes (tastes like frozen key lime pie)

I’ll also occasionally use coconut water instead of milk if I am going for a “tropical” flavored smoothie.
