Protein Shakes Can Be More Than Protein

When you think of protein shakes, you may think of some pumped up dude at the gym screaming unnecessarily. Side note, don’t be that guy. But protein shakes can be so much more than a source of protein after a workout. In fact, protein shakes can be a complete, balanced meal. Sometimes a “liquid meal” like this, if done correctly, can be easier on your digestive system, too.

Don’t believe me? Check out the video below for more information!

The Details From The Video

Like I mentioned in the video, there are a few different ways to put together a great protein shake. Here’s a great infographic from Precision Nutrition about making Super Shakes: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/super-shake-creation-infographic

Like all of our Gaspar’s Best products, these are independently tested by a third party for quality. There’s a lot of B.S. out there when it comes to supplements. We want to change that.

My Protein Shake Recipes

Ok, so I said I’d share a few of my own recipes. Feel free to adjust and mess with the proportions as you see fit!

Pre-Workout High Calorie Shake

• 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or Ripple, which I’ve been into recently)
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 scoop of Gaspar’s Best Perfect Protein Powder
• 1/2 handful of spinach (it’s kinda hard to measure spinach lol)
• 5 fresh strawberries
• About 10 or so fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons of organic hemp seeds
• 2 tablespoons of organic flax seeds

Like I said, you can sub plenty of things in here. It’s a pretty high calorie shake, so it’s great fuel.

A Meal Replacement Shake

• 1 cup of Ripple
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 scoop of Gaspar’s Best Fruits and Greens Energy Drink
• 5 fresh strawberries
• 3 tablespoons of organic hemp seeds

I use the Ripple and hemp seeds to boost the protein content.

We have a class about building the foundations of nutritional knowledge and wellness. We cover a ton of different topics, included making balanced meals.

The class is 100% online. It’s not a diet. It’s all about building a series of healthy habits related to:

• Portion control
• Eating more whole foods
• Eating a variety of whole foods

We break each habit down one at a time. Let’s face it…there’s a ton of info on the internet on how to lose weight. You know a lot of what you SHOULD be doing. But actually doing it…that’s another story. That’s exactly what we cover in this class. We help you execute and set strong, reachable goals one at a time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
