FitNut Almond Milk Protein Shake
A perfect way to skip milk in your protein shake, especially if you have lactose issue or just want to stay away from it. I’m using almond milk in this easy-to-make protein shake that takes less than one minute to whip up.
Almond Milk Smoothie Ingredients:
- 12 oz. unsweetened almond milk
- 1 whole banana
- 1 scoop of flavored whey protein (25 grams of protein minimum)
- 1 scoop of greens (I love the Amazing Grass Green Superfood Berry Flavor available at most vitamin supply stores)
- ½ cup of blueberries
- ½ cup of pre-made, chilled, steel cut oats
How to Make It:
Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients for your protein shake that I listed above.
Prepare Ingredients: Peel the banana and measure out the blueberries and steel-cut oats. Ensure that the almond milk is unsweetened and chilled for the best taste.
Add Ingredients to Blender: Place all the ingredients into your favorite blender. Start with the almond milk, followed by the banana (cut into chunks for easier blending), whey protein powder, greens powder, blueberries, and steel-cut oats.
Blend: Begin at a low speed to initially combine the ingredients, then gradually increase the speed to high. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds or until the shake reaches the consistency you’re looking for. If needed, pause and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Serve: Once the protein shake is smooth and creamy, pour it into a glass or your favorite workout shaker bottle. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing and nutritious pre-workout boost.
