Homemade Protein shakes

For the past 11 months I have been using Protein shakes in the morning as a replacement for Breakfast a meal I never have time to eat because of my job...

They have helped in 2 ways:-

1) Increasing my Protein has helped with building healthy muscle and my training schedual
2) Having Protein for breakfast stops me getting hungry.

However recently I have been finding all the flavoured shakes getting sweeter and sweeter as my tastes have changed so much so I was beginning to get nauseous so in line with my drive to eat cleaner and cleaner I have just started making my own and am wondering why I waited so long.

It is so so simple

200g of frozen or fresh berries (Occasionally I pop a passion fruit or Kiwi in)
300mls of Almond or Hazelnut milk
35g of MyProtein Whey Isolate powder unflavoured

All whizzed up in a blender and It come out like a thick McDonalds shake.... and equals
11g Carbs
8g Fat
35g Protein

Perfectly balanced for the day.....

I stick to berries and I tend to avoid other fruit because of the fructose effect on blood sugar...

    Glad you hit on something you like!

    I sometimes just add the protein to milk; other times I add fruit, like a banana or berries. Kiwi sounds great. It is getting close to peach season here, so I'll be using them or strawberries fresh soon.

    My protein shakes probably aren't as healthy, but they are yummy. I put in one small yogurt, usually strawberry flavour, about 1/2 cup of lactose free milk, a splash of OJ, a scoop of Jillian Micheals vanilla protein powder and frozen strawberries, or other berries. Makes a thick shake and keeps me full until lunch.

    I have found really good protein shake that gives you all the nutrients of all the fruits and veggies you need in a day, full of amino acids, superfoods, low glycemic index, and pretty tasty! I love it, I would never be able to get all those nutrients otherwise :drinker:
