Okay, I don't know about you guys-- but the thought of a meal replacement shake is absolutely *disgusting* to me! (Can I get a "Hell Yeah" ? "HELL YEAH!") But... seriously, if I'm hungry. I'm hungry. No liquid diet is going to cure that.
BUT. (There is alllllways a big fat "but" (or in my case- belly!) right?!)
What if you could drink something absolutely DELICIOUS that will both fulfill a craving and fill you up? Well... I'm here to share with you TWO of my absolute FAVORITE drinks with you!
---
Do you like coffee? Then you will absolutely *love*love*LOVE* this drink!
-2 Spoonfuls of instant coffee
-1/2 Cup hot water (to dissolve the coffee)
-1 Scoop vanilla protein powder
-1 Cup dark chocolate almond milk
-Top with ice
It tastes just like your favorite iced-coffee drink but you are packing in protein!
*You could also totally blend this together for a Frappe!*

One of my favorite treats is a dreamsicle. (You know, Popsicle on the outside and ice cream on the inside.) Well, this drink tastes just like that! *Delicious!*
-1/2 Cup orange juice
-1/2 Cup original almond milk
-1/2 cup water
-1 Scoop vanilla protein powder
-Shake it up and top with ice
(We love Almond Milk in our house- it has completely replaced cow's milk for us-- but if you are a drinker of cows milk, I'm sure you could substitute them in these recipes and get the same scrumptious flavors!)

The protein we use in our house is Vanilla Ice cream Syntha-6. It is by far the *best* protein powder that I've ever used. It does not taste chalky or leave a bad taste in your mouth. It is also a whey protein base as opposed to a soy protein- which is huge for us because too much soy in your diet can cause a whole slew of issues.
I've been able to put the protein into other items as well-- including cupcakes! (Yes, I will share that recipe sometime!) The results have been fantastic.
Do you guys have a favorite "protein" drink that you make at home?
Nomnom, totally trying both of these!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear it! They are super tasty and *good* for you! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
DeleteUmmmm... I can't wait for the cupcake recipe!!! And i'm going to have to try that protein. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are looking forward to the recipe! And trust me- it's the best protein on the market. You should order it from amazon (I provided a link) because it's muuuuuch cheaper than what you'd pay at a place like GNC. We always order from amazon or allstarhealth.com because the prices are much better!
DeleteI have instant coffee and light chocolate soy milk almost every afternoon for a chocolatey treat/pick me up! So delicious and lo cal! Ps I'm really excited for you that you started this blog! It will be fun to watch your progress! Remember when we used to swap healthy ideas back in our Wet Seal days? And then we'd go to the food court and get potato oles for lunch :/
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh Lacey! So funny! We had no choice though... Food Court at that mall was seriously lacking any good options! Thanks for the laugh!
DeleteI've never used protein powders, but I have blended peanut butter into shakes. Don't judge me!
ReplyDeleteI got your protein yesterday and created the coffee drink this morning (except I used my Keurig coffee instead of instant) and let me tell you what, it's amazing! I am going to drink this every morning! Thanks for the great idea :)
