Ok so I love having protein shakes, I eat them throughout the day when I get cravings for sweets so I like to shake them up a bit and make new stuff. Shakes are a great quick morning meal, which you should be eating something within one hour of waking up to get your metabolism fire up and running. Another time to eat them is prior to your workout and/or immediately following a workout. Your body needs fuel to get through the workout and it needs fuel to help speed up recovery and decrease muscle soreness. Remember you can't live on shakes alone so be sure to get at least three balanced meals throughout the day along with the shakes or snacks.
Today my new shake consisted of rice milk, scoop of protein powder, half a banana, sugar free chocolate syrup and instant espresso coffee for a little pick me up that I so need before I head out to all my kids practices and events. I added a few ice cubes and blended it in my favorite Magic Bullit blender which I highly recommend it is a must have for me. Enjoy it you'll feel like you are cheating but your body is getting some great nutrients and you'll be feeling so much better without all the guilt. Enjoy and see you soon.
Have a healthy and happy evening.
