I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love protein shakes because I feel
like I’m having a dessert! That is if you make them right. I like my shakes
to be thick like milkshakes, so thick that I could eat them with a spoon if
I wanted to. Protein shakes are an easy healthy breakfast, or snack when you
are on the go or in a hurry.
Have you ever wondered how to get that creamy “milkshake-like” texture of
protein shakes that you buy from a smoothie place? For the longest time, I
could not understand why my shakes would not blend well and were just “icy.”
After much trial and error and research, I found the missing ingredient.
With this base recipe I promise you, not only will it be just as smooth
creamy and delicious as those store bought shakes, but it will be minus all
the extra calories.
The ingredients store well and you can change up the flavor by using fruits,
cocoa powder, and flavored extracts. It’s also a great way to get your
protein, while satisfying your craving for a dessert.
Ingredients
Base for Shake:
1 scoop MRI PRO-NOS MULTI-FRACTIONATED WHEY ISOLATE COMPLEX
1-4 pkts Stevia or low calorie sweetener of choice (splenda)
5-10 Ice cubes (depending on how thick you like it, use less for a thinner
consistency)
1/2-1 cup of Water (alter this according to desired consistency)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (you can get this from most grocery stores in the gluten
free section! Just a pinch of it makes your shake so thick and creamy)
Optional ingredient:
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese (or 1 cup Greek Yogurt)
I know some of you are like what cottage cheese? TRUST me… this will give
your protein shake an even more milkshake consistency! Also, if you are
sensitive to dairy, you can use tofu to get the same consistency!
Only two simple steps: place all ingredients into the blender and enjoy 🙂
