Tip: If you can drink it, it counts

On rough days, sipping protein is still a win.

Base recipe

Pick one from each line:

Liquid

  • 10–12 oz water, milk, or almond milk

Protein

  • 1–2 scoops whey or casein, or
  • 1 bottle ready-to-drink protein (then skip liquid)

Flavor

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder or
  • 1/2 banana or
  • A handful of frozen berries or
  • 1 tsp instant coffee + cinnamon

Optional add-ons

  • 1 tbsp peanut/almond butter (more calories)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (thicker + more protein)
  • Ice (helps nausea for some people)

Directions

  1. Add liquid to blender.
  2. Add protein + flavor.
  3. Blend 20–30 seconds.

Note: If shakes make you nauseous

Try smaller portions (half shake), colder temperature, and sip slowly.
