One of my favourite options for yummy, light, on-the-go meals is a protein shake. They’re easy to make, protein-packed (well, obviously), and if you combine these shakes with other nutritious whole foods like oats, apples, bananas, berries, spinach leaves, green and red powders (and other healthy seeds/powders like linseed, chia, maca etc), coconut cream/milk, almond milk, fruit, nuts and nut butters, etc. then you have a pretty good meal or snack that tastes good and is great convenient, on-the-go nutrition for an active lifestyle like my own.

For all of these recipes I use the Nutribullet blender (which I ADORE…it blends EVERYTHING so well) but any good quality blender should suffice. I also use the BodyScience WPI all natural whey protein as this is very pleasant tasting protein powder with no artificial sweeteners, flavours or chemicals added. Each serving of their protein servings is 2 scoops, which equals 27 grams of protein. You can adjust the recipes below to your protein powder serving portions accordingly.

Ingredients:
2 scoops protein powder

-Blend together and add ice cubes if desired.

Coconut/Blueberry Protein Shake

Ingredients:
2 scoops protein powder
1 tablespoon maca powder
¼ cup coconut milk (I use the Ayam brand; it’s all natural)
½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup coconut water
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup frozen pineapple pieces

-Blend together and add ice cubes if desired.

Green nutty protein shake

Ingredients:
-2 scoops protein powder
-2 tablespoons immugreens BSC powder (I also like Vital Greens powder)

-2/3 cup water

-Blend together and add ice cubes if desired.
