Wonderful Creative Protein Shake Recipes To Make Everyone's Day

By Thaya Kareeson

People are paying more attention to what they eat and how they live. Exercise routines that really push a person are often part and parcel of everyone's daily schedule. However, some people find that instead of getting stronger, bigger muscles, they are experiencing muscle depletion. Adding protein to their diet sometimes is difficult and that's where creative protein shake recipes come in.

One top and competition winning shake recipe is the Chocolate Mint Super Shake. Take one quarter of a cup of water, five ice cubes, and one scoop of chocolate flavoured milk protein isolate or MPI/Casein. Add one third of a cup of cottage cheese, two teaspoons of ground flax seeds, twenty-five grams of pecans, a taste of cocoa, and two or three drops of mint extract. Together, this makes a great shake!

Creativity can keep people on a healthy path more than a strict diet and exercise routine. The more someone gets bored with their lifestyle changes, the more likely they are to fall back on bad eating and exercise habits. Creative exercises and food can keep people interested. The variety offered by different protein shake recipes makes taking protein easy, and it's such an important part of a good workout routine.

When making the protein shake called Blueberry Pie, add a cup of frozen blueberries, quarter cup of vanilla yogurt, one or two scoops of vanilla flavoured MRP or low carb meal replacement protein with a teaspoon of flax seeds, ground. Add a quarter cup of whole oats and a quarter cup of crushed graham crackers, then add just enough cold water to make the drink smooth.

All types of protein shakes help to repair muscle tissue that has been damaged after a really tough workout. Consider adding fruit like bananas or berries to protein shakes. Frozen fruit added to a protein shake recipe can help make the shake thicker and tastier. Strawberry goes great with chocolate as well as vanilla.

Some of the best protein shake recipes aren't shakes at all. Protein powder can liven up cooked oatmeal, if you add a single scoop for each serving. Fat free and sugar free pudding can turn your protein powder into a pudding shot. One scoop of powder plus two tablespoons of pudding and an ounce of ice water allowed to thicken can be eaten with a spoon happily. Keep in mind that this will add around fifty calories to your usual shake's allotment, and another six grams of carbs.

As well as adding protein to a diet, it's important to ensure your food intake is well rounded on a daily basis. Other things are hard to add to a diet easily, like fruits and vegetables. Even fat is sometimes required as part of a muscle building diet. Combine a half cup of creamy all natural peanut butter with a quarter cup of honey and one and a half scoops of vanilla protein powder. Mix the ingredients in a bowl until it's ready to be rolled into one inch balls, which are chilled in the refrigerator until they're firm and ready to eat. This is a high fat recipe so be sure to always record your food intake to keep track of fat on a daily basis.

Protein shake recipes work well at turning boring protein shakes into something appetizing that you look forward to taking. Creativity is essential in helping anyone maintain a new lifestyle change, moving from bad eating habits to healthy ones. Protein shakes are important to strong and tough workouts as well, as they help prevent muscle depletion and help repair muscle tissues. In the end, remember that it's your stomach that has to handle what ever you add to your shakes. Don't be afraid to create a new recipe all your own!

Protein shake recipes can help make boring hum drum protein shakes into something more. The more creativity a person throws into their new healthy habits, the more likely they are to stick to them. Protein shakes are helpful in keeping a person from experiencing muscle depletion. Remember that ultimately, it's your own personal taste palette that has to be satisfied, so don't be afraid to try new recipes! - 17274
