Protein shake recipes

I have been asked by a lot of people what I am drinking. Well its a variety of things. Lots of greens, proteins and natural energy. These are so delicious, and so nutritious. You can use any kind of protein powder or even a shake. These shakes you just pick your protein, fiber, fruit, veggie, liquid and greens and boom!!! yummy healthy drink.

Chocolate peanut butter banana:
this one I make a lot I love it.

  • 1-2 bananas
  • Tbl peanut butter
  • 1 cup of almond milk or water. (you'll add more after you add the ingredients)
  • 1 tsp of chia seeds or flax seeds (fiber)
  • handful of spinach (optional)
  • 1 - 1 1/2 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder. ( This varies, add a scoop, taste it and if you want more add more)
Put the liquid in first. Add everything together and add more liquid and blend. I like to pour some in a cup and add ice to the rest and blend it. You can also not put peanut butter in it and make it chocolate banana. Thats good too.
