Your Title Goes Here
Everyone associates a protein shake or smoothie as something you do when on a diet. Or as a meal replacement. While this might be true, and you can use a shake as a meal replacement, there is another way to use protein shakes or smoothies that can be very helpful when trying to avoid sugar.
A protein shake can be used as a snack! That’s right~ when those afternoon sugar cravings hit, and your energy dips, it’s time to make a shake! It will soon have you forgetting all about those sugar blues, and revive that energy! If you start your day with a shake or have one late morning, it might help you to not have that fatigue in the afternoon. It really works!
So what kind of a shake should you make? Vanilla, chocolate, whatever flavor you like with the following as a base:
frozen banana
frozen berries
fresh fruit with ice
Put these ingredients in first and then add unsweetened almond or oat milk, 1 tsp of vanilla, spinach or kale, protein powder and I like to use unsweetened peanut butter powder. It’s a great snack to look forward to and it really beats those cravings!
Shown in the picture is one of my favorite shakes:
frozen bananas
unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
peanut butter powder (no sugar)
spinach
vanilla protein powder
Blend it all together and VOILA! You have yourself an amazing snack! Try it!
