Healthy Protein Shakes

Connie April 2013Healthly Protein Shakes

By Connie Hertz

 

Healthy shakes are great ways to consume more fruits and veggies each day.  You can use them as a meal or as a snack.

 

I drink the shake I posted a couple weeks ago for my lunch each day with a healthy protein powder.

 

Here’s the recipe again in case you missed it:

 

2 C Power greens in the produce section of most grocery stores ( Organic)

1 C fresh parsley ( it’s a great detoxifier)

1 C frozen blueberries

A big chunk of fresh ginger root (peeled and quartered)

A big chunk of fresh lemon with the rind left on ( washed of course and quartered)

a few pieces of fresh asparagus, if you choose

1 C water

You can add any other fruits you choose such as a banana or other berries.

Your choice of protein powder

Mix in a high powered blender, separating the ingredients out, as you mix, then add more in, or a juicer

 

With this smoothie, I am getting protein and many other antioxidants from the fruits and veggies I put in.

 

 

Here are some other healthy protein shakes you can make as well:

 

Pomegranate Shake

Pomegranates are a source of antioxidants, which  scavenge free radicals in the body that contribute to disease and aging. Hemp  protein is a complete vegan and raw form of protein. Flax seeds provide omega-3  fatty acids to support brain development and heart health. Blend together one banana, one  date — for natural sweetness — 1 cup of cold water, 1 cup of ice, 1 cup of  pomegranate seeds, 1 tbsp. of ground flax seed and 4 tbsp. of hemp protein. The  smoothie contains about 450 calories and 13 g of protein.

 

Peanut Butter Banana Shake

Peanut butter is a source of unsaturated fats, and oats  offer soluble and insoluble fiber to regulate digestion and cholesterol levels.  Blend together 1/2 of a frozen banana, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of rolled, raw  oats and 1 tbsp. of peanut butter. The oats makes this shake hearty, with 361  calories and 17 g of protein.

 

 Protein Shake

A meal  replacement shake can be a good way for vegans, who eat no animal products,  to obtain  protein in an expedient manner. In a blender, whip together 1 frozen banana, 1  tbsp. of flax seed oil, 1 tbsp. of honey, 1/2 cup of sliced mangoes, 1 tbsp. of  almond butter, 1 cup coconut water and  1 scoop of the Chia seed/pea protein powder I use in my shakes from Pharmanex. This shake  provides just about 300 calories with 14 g of protein.

 

 

There are many different choices you can make with ingredients. If you have a juicer, you can add carrots, beets, apples and many other veggies and fruits.

 

 

If losing weight is something you are going after, you will want to eat 6 small meals per day, with one of the choices being a healthy shake.  Before beginning any kind of weight loss program, consult your physician!
