Anyone have recipe ideas for healthy shakes I can make at home?

    Your choice of fruit with your choice of milk and your choice of serving size. Log it before so you can see the nutrients breakdown and calories. I add protein powder into mine

    My favorite smoothie is:

    200g frozen pumpkin puree (freeze it flat in a freezer bag, then break into chunks)
    150g frozen banana (peel first before freezing)
    1tsp cinnamon
    1tsp vanilla extract
    1cup unsweetened almond milk

    Add together, and blend.

    I start mine with the following:

    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
    1/2 serving of unflavored unsweetened protein powder
    8 oz cup of ice

    My favorite additions are:

    (1) Small banana + 1 Tbsp PB2 + 1 Tbsp cocoa (sometimes add fresh or frozen blueberries)

    (2) 50-100 grams greens (fresh or frozen) + small apple or unsweetened applesauce + sweetener of choice as needed

    (3) 4 oz Pumpkin puree (baby food works) + pumpkin pie spice + sweetener of choice (molasses is good if you have it) - optional additions are greens or 1/2 banana

    A McD chocolate shake has 1.5 calories per gram. Not too bad, really, if you compare it to other high calorie dense choices. I buy one shake, put it in the freezer and eat a couple of spoonfuls now and then weighing it as I go. If I need to fill up, a sparkling water can handle that job.

    I guess the first one is a shake, as I make it in a shaker cup. This time of year (late summer where I am) I brew the coffee the day before, over the coconut, and refrigerate it until the next AM. Protein powder generally clumps if added directly to hot liquid.

    I use my food processor for the second one.

    I soak the chia seeds in about a half cup of water for minimum one hour before using, water and all.

    My go to protein smoothie (which I’m actually currently drinking right now for lunch)
    • Small banana (80-100g)
    • 200g plain fat free Greek yogurt
    • half a scoop of chocolate protein power
    • 12g pb2
    • water to desired consistency

    ~300 calories, depending on the size of the banana, ~35 grams of protein

    Sometimes switch out the banana for raspberries, and in the later fall, pumpkin pie filling and vanilla protein powder
