30|> [!TIP] Liquid nutrition hack
31|> When appetite or nausea is bad, liquids go down easier. Don't fight it—work with it.
32|
33|## Why this works
34|GLP-1 side effects like nausea and early satiety make solid food tough. This smoothie delivers dense nutrition in a format your body tolerates.
35|
36|## Ingredients
37|- 1 scoop whey or casein protein powder (20-25g protein)
38|- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk (30-40 cal)
39|- 1/2 cup frozen berries (optional, for flavor)
40|- 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter (90 cal, 4g protein)
41|- Ice cubes (for texture without volume)
42|
43|## Directions
44|1. Add protein powder + milk to blender.
45|2. Add nut butter + berries (if using).
46|3. Blend until smooth.
47|4. Add ice if you want it thicker.
48|5. Drink immediately.
49|
50|## Variations
51|- **Pure protein version:** Skip berries and nut butter. Just protein + water/milk.
52|- **Calorie boost:** Add 1 tbsp coconut oil or MCT oil.
53|- **Electrolytes:** Add a pinch of salt (tastes better than you think, helps hydration).

56|### Products Used in This Recipe
57|
58|- **[Whey protein powder](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Whey+protein+powder&tag=glpspot-20)** — 20-25g protein per scoop
59|- **[Blender bottle](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Blender+bottle&tag=glpspot-20)** — Mix protein smoothies anywhere
60|- **[Casein protein powder](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Casein+protein+powder&tag=glpspot-20)** — Slower digesting for sustained protein

62|
63|> [!NOTE] Protein powder hacks
64|> Whey absorbs fast (good post-workout or morning). Casein is slower (better before bed or for nausea).
