I am the first person to say that I’d prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them. But sometimes a shake is a smart choice because:
✅ there’s minimal prep involved
✅ it’s about easy way to sneak in some more protein
✅ they’re perfect when you’re pressed for time and need to dash out the door
✅ they’re super portable – easier to drink your shake than eat a salad in the car!
⭐️ this one tastes amazing!
Chunky Monkey Protein Shake
🥄 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
🥄 1 ripe banana
🥄 1 tbsp peanut butter
🥄 1 cup almond milk (or your favourite milk)
🥄 2 good handfuls of ice
Mix this up in your blender and this meal on the run is good to the very last drop! 😋
When using protein powder as a meal replacement, it can be a good idea to look for one with casein as it’s slower to absorb and will help to keep you full longer.
