Looking to try out a new delicious protein shake? Check out the 5 easy-to-make protein shake ingredients & instructions below!

1. COFFEE PROTEIN SHAKE

Use cold brew coffee or a freshly brewed shot of espresso. Maca and cocoa powder are nice additions to this recipe. Make sure it has plenty of sweetness by using vanilla protein powder or adding your own sweetener.

• 1/2 cup Cold-brew coffee (or shot of espresso)

• 1/4 cup plant milk

• 1 scoop vanilla pea protein

• 1/2 banana (frozen)

• 1 tablespoon almond butter

• Pinch of ground cinnamon

• Ice

• Stevia to taste (if needed)

2. BERRY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

Bump up the antioxidants with a creamy berry protein shake. You can use any frozen berries you have in the freezer. I like blueberry or strawberry best.

• 1/2 cup plant milk

• 3/4 cup frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, or a mix)

• 1/2 banana

• 1 scoop vanilla pea protein

3. MINT CHIP

Here’s a great way to get your greens in without even tasting them. Baby spinach is easily disguised by fresh mint flavor.

• 1/2 cup plant milk

• 1 scoop vanilla pea protein

• 6 fresh mint leaves

• 3/4 cup fresh baby spinach

• 1/2 cup ice

• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips/chunks

• Stevia to taste (if needed)

4. PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE

• 1/2 cup plant milk (oat, flax, soy, etc.)

• 1 scoop vanilla pea protein

• 1 banana

• 2 tablespoons peanut butter

• 1 cup ice

• Stevia or maple syrup to taste (if needed)

5. CHOCOLATE

• 1/2 cup plant milk

• 1/2 banana

• 1 scoop vanilla pea protein

• 1 tablespoon cacao powder

• 1 cup ice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the milk to a blender.

2. Top with the remaining ingredients for your smoothie flavor of choice.

3. Blend until smooth. Add more milk to thin, and ice (and/or frozen banana) to thicken. I usually add between 1 and 1 ½ cups of ice for a thick and cold shake.

4. Enjoy right away or freeze for later.
