Awesome berry protein shake
Ahhhhh….
I had one of these for lunch….totally awesome!
Really easy to make, try one for yourself!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 scoop low carb protein powder (I used “Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard” for my calculations)
- 1/3 cup frozen berries (I used blueberries for the analysis)
- 2 Tablespoons Flax Seed Meal (or read more below)
- 1/2 - 1 cup water (less if you want it thicker)
- Sweetener to taste (I like to use liquid forms of Splenda - no carbs
Preparation:
Put everything in the blender and whiz it together.
Nutritional Information:
Each serving has 11 grams carbs plus 6 grams fiber, 24 grams protein, and 429 calories.
The medium-chain fatty acids in the coconut milk will keep you going for a long time! The flax seed meal adds fiber and lots of other good things, but you could also add fiber in the form of “Benefiber” or some similar preparation, or skip it (though I think part of the reason the shake is so satisfying is the fiber).
Enjoy!
