Protein Shake

Here are a couple recipes that I’ve been using either for breakfast or for a post workout meal.

Keep the portions small and limit the fats for a tasty, low calorie, high protein meal replacement. The Good Morning Protein Shake is good for as small meal or a snack.

Crank up the healthy fats from flax oil and peanut butter if you are a skinny person trying to bulk up. Drink a couple of these The Good Morning Weight Gainer Shakes a day to really pack on the pounds, but you best be lifting HARD or you will get fat.

Meet halfway in the middle to blend yourself a super healthy, moderate calorie protein shake. Perfect for replacing a whole meal whether you are dieting or just trying to eat healthy. You can choose The Good Morning Peanut Butter Cup or The Good Morning with Flax.

Be sure to add in the cinnamon, since cinnamon helps regulate your blood sugar.

Where to get your ingredients:

• Protein Powder – Optimum Nutrition protein powder is the best and cheapest you can find online. Get some protein powder by clicking here.
• Acai Powder/Pulp - Sambazon sells a wide variety of acai products, including acai powder and acai pulp, both of which can be used in this recipe. I have been using acai powder.

• Flax oil, Dannon’s Activia, and all-natural peanut butter can be purchased at your local supermarket or health food store.
• Tips – Regular light yogurt can be used in place of Activia. Regular peanut butter is nasty and should not be used in place of all-natural peanut butter. Try Teddies.

Directions:

Simple: throw everything together in a blender and push the start button.

Things not to add to The Good Morning Protein Shake:

Optimum Nutrition Protein Powder

• apples - I did this and it ruined the consistency and flavor.
• too much flax – Ruins the flavor.
• too much acai powder – Will send you to the bathroom for a good 20 minutes.
