How to Make a Homemade Protein Shake


One of the best ways to get protein into your system is to make a homemade protein shake. The recipe below will produce 2 to 3 servings.

You can make this homemade protein shake anytime, however, I prefer to have one serving first thing in the morning and the second serving around 10:00am. I have added various other ingredients to this shake, so that it will act as two complete meal replacements as well.

Here is my recipe that will produce 2 to 3 servings:

1 cup of frozen spinach (yes, spinach, the taste is very subtle and it will give you your greens for the morning)

1 slice of ginger root to taste (peel the ginger first)

1 lemon (just the juice)

1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup of walnuts or almonds (5 grams of protein)

1 small spoonful milled flax seed (2 grams of protein)

2 hard boiled eggs and 4 eggs whites from hard boiled eggs (22 grams of protein)

2 scoops of whey protein (I prefer chocolate for this shake) (50 grams of protein)

1 handful of ice

1 cup of skim milk (you may need a little more or less milk depending on how thick you like your drink) (8 grams of protein)

1 cup of old fashioned/unsweetened oatmeal (you can cook it first with water and then add it, or put it in dry) (10 grams of protein)

Mix all of the ingredients in a blender on the highest setting, pour, drink, and enjoy!

Approximate amount of total protein: 97 grams of protein

Amount per serving based on 2 servings: 48.5 grams of protein

Amount per serving based on 3 servings: 32.3 grams of protein

This homemade protein shake recipe makes 2 to 3 servings.

Be sure to consult with a professional about how much protein in-take is right for you.
