shake receipe

I've had several readers ask me for smoothie and/or protein shake
recipes that taste good and meet all of the criteria that I laid
out in previous emails. Because I consider you all my good
friends, I'll give you my super secret recipe for a great tasting
chocolate peanut butter shake! These shakes are a great way to get
that critical protein and carry you over in the afternoon!

If you don't have one by now, get yourself a high-quality blender.

And my favorite place to get the protein powders listed below is
Netrition.com. I've been using them for years - their service is
unbeatable, they are extremely quick to ship, and their prices are
some of the best on the Internet.

Ok - here it is:


2 scoops chocolate whey protein - my recommendation is Nature's Best Isopure Low Carb Chocolate
2T of natural peanut butter - NOT the regular peanut butter that has added sugar - try the Smuckers smooth or chunky
2T of Jello Fat Free/Sugar Free Instant Chocolate Pudding
1T of unsweetened cocoa powder - lots of good antioxidants in cocoa
Ice

50 grams of protein, 16 grams of healthy fats, and minimal carbs -
and tastes pretty darn good!

Be creative - for example, you can throw in a small banana if your
daily intake allows it or use skim milk or nonfat dry milk instead
of water. Just make sure you take into account everything you are
putting in when you are figuring out your daily intake.

Chocolate not your thing? How about a Root Beer Float?!


1 can Diet Root Beer - I like Barq's the best
2T of heavy cream - this is OK for your diet, trust me! Just don't drink it by the gallon!
2 scoops vanilla whey protein - my recommendation is Nature's Best Isopure No Carb Vanilla
Ice
Great way to get 50 grams of protein in you with about 10 grams of
fat and no carbs!
