Servings: 1 shake
Equipment

Ingredients
Basic Protein Shake
- ¾ cup milk of choice more below
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons protein powder or two scoops of the one that I use
- 1 cup ice cubes
- ½ cup milk of choice
Optional Boosters
- For the perfect combo of customizations to use check out the recipe in my Best Vegan Protein Powder post or check out the recipes above.
- For Veggies: ½ cup frozen spinach kale, or other leafy green
- Sweetener: add in some monkfruit stevia, or some fruit juice
- For Fruit: sub 1/2 cup ice cubes with ½-3/4 cup frozen fruit such as strawberries, peaches or blueberries
- For Protein Boost: 2 tablespoons peanut powder
- For Healthy Fats: 2 tablespoons nut butter
- For Energy: ¼ teaspoon maca powder
- For Fun: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in the order listed: 3/4 cup milk, protein powder, ice cubes and 1/2 cup milk. This is the order that I’ve found to be smoothest, without any protein powder getting stuck in a clump anywhere.
- Now, add Optional Boosters.
- Close blender. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
