When I’m needing a shake and I’m in a jam, I’m usually running around the kitchen trying to figure out what I can toss in the blender to avoid having just another boring shake. A lot of times, my search ends without a good reward and I’m left with your basic water and protein powder…

Chocolate Raspberry Mocha Protein Shake Recipe

When you think of flavor combinations, lots of things probably come to your mind. Chocolate and peanut butter. Peanut butter and banana. Strawberry and banana. On and on and on.

Banana Cream Protein Shake Recipe

Continuing with my idea to turn my daily protein shakes into “mini-desserts,” I decided to experiment with some milkshake recipes and make one that was a little more protein, a little less ice cream. Although I normally like to make my shakes dairy-free, this one is admittedly a little more “decadent” so I used regular…

Cinnamon Apple Protein Shake Recipe

I’ve always had a sweet tooth and loved my desserts. Since I started eating more healthy though (and did a restricted diet for six months), my tastes have changed. I still crave something sweet, just not sickening sweet like I used to. So what better way to satisfy that craving and make the daily protein…

Detox Smoothie Recipe

At the direction of my naturopathic doctor, I did an extremely restricted diet for six months a couple years ago. Although it was pretty difficult and frustrating at times, I have to admit, it was nice knowing that I was only putting “real” foods in my body. Basically, I ate fruits, vegetables and meats (grass…
