Readers Request: How I make my shake.

So I received a message asking how I make my protein shakes.
Shakes are perfect anytime of day! I usually have one for either breakfast, post workout, & before bed & sometimes all 3! Now that it is getting warm outside I craaave them!
I love protein shakes because they are so versatile. You really can put anything in your shake. Here is one of my low cal shakes that I make often.

First I get everything out.. (okay, not really.. I grab and go.. but for your viewing pleasure)

I start with a liquid base- You can use water or any type of milk works just fine.

I use  about a 1-1.5 cups of Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk

Then I add my 1 scoop of protein. Vanilla Elite Whey was the winner today. 

Then I add a pinch of both Gaur Gum and Xanthan Gum, For creaminess and thickness. You can grab these online on amazon or I picked mine up at my local grocery store

I usually add a fruit- Frozen banana, blackberries, blueberries etc. But yesterday I picked up these driscoll beauties at Costco and of course a Raspberry shake was calling my name. 

I only use a handful and snack on a few more while its blending :)

I used Chia seeds today- You may also use ground flax seeds or PB/AB 

Simply toss 7-10 ice cubes in

A handful or two of spinach... (Yes, spinach! I promise you can't taste it and you will reap all the  benefits nutrients!)

BLEND 'ER UP!

I love watching the color change ;)

Pour into your glass and drink the remaining straight from the blender ;)

or be lady like and just refill your glass but I prefer to just drink it. 

Healthy, Protein Packed, Creeeamy, smooth and delicious!

Q. Whats your favorite Protein Shake Mix?

I'm usually a chocolate-banana girl but who can pass up raspberry?
