If you're a person who wants to build lean muscles, then you know that the best protein shakes are an essential part of your workout. You most likely take regular protein shakes already in order to meet your daily protein quota. But for those of you who just use regular protein powders, you probably notice that the taste starts to get boring eventually. But you know what? You still drink it anyway because you know this boring-tasting protein powder is something that you need to help you meet your goal. Instead, you can do something different by creating your own flavored protein shakes. Here in this article, I will list 5 of the best protein shakes I've tasted so far, along with their recipe that you can make it at home too.
For all of these recipes, just put every single ingredient into a blender and then blend it (up to a minute or so). Easy as that.
Chocolate Protein Shake
[These recipes are not listed in any specific order]
Note: I compiled this list of the best protein shakes from forums and bodybuilders. I didn't invent these recipes myself.
Best Protein Shakes #1: Chocolate Banana Shake
12 oz. of Pure Water
4-5 ice cubes
1 banana
1 tbsp heavy cream
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
Best Protein Shakes #2: Orange Creamsicle
8 oz. of Water
4-5 ice cubes
1-2 peeled oragnes
1-2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
Best Protein Shakes #3: Fruit Smoothie
2 Scoops of Strawberry Protein powder
4 large strawberries
Small Handful of Blueberries
A few drops of water
1/2 Cup of Ice
Splenda
Put Ice in the blender, then slowly add the fruit in. Add just enough water as you're doing that to keep it all smooth. Complete it by blending in 2 scoops of protein powder and some splenda to sweeten it.
Best Protein Shakes #4: Very Healthy Banana Shake
1 Cup of Water
1 Large Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder
3/4 Cup of natural yogurt
1 banana
1 tsp of flax-seed oil
2 tsp of honey
1 tsp of spirulena
The spirulena will significantly change the taste of this shake; if you don't like the taste of it, then leave it out. This shake will provide you with lots of carbs, protein, and lots of vitamins and minerals.
Best Protein Shakes #5: Oatmeal Shake - Meal Replacement Shake
12 oz. of Water or Low-fat milk
1 Cup of Dry Measure Oatmeal, Cooked in water and cooled
2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
3 dashes of cinnamon
1/8 cup of sugar free maple syrup or brown sugar
1 tbsp of chopped almonds (or flax seed oil or natural peanut butter).
