I confess that I have a weakness for ice cream and especially like malts and shakes! In addition, it can be downright difficult to cut calories in the summer with cookouts, social distancing pool parties and those sizzling hot days where nothing tastes as good as a frozen dessert. But, one way I have been able to avoid completely sabotaging my diet is having frozen protein shakes.
A great way to lose weight is with this easy strawberry protein shake! It is super simple to make with only some frozen strawberries, vanilla whey protein powder, and water. As a matter of fact, this is a mainstay for my weight loss diet. Hope you will try this since it IS DELICIOUS!
Easy Strawberry Protein Shake
5 – 6 frozen strawberries
1 – 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
12 oz. water (approximately)
Put ingredients in blender in this order: strawberries, vanilla whey protein powder, and water. Blend well. Enjoy!
If you like, you can tweak this to your own preference – make it your own. You might like it with other fruit added like red raspberries, blueberries, bananas, etc. Also, try to add some ground flax or wheat germ for an extra boost.
Other possible additions: add some other flavoring like almond, apple, honey, melon, mint, peach, pineapple, rhubarb and/or walnut.
If you want to use this as a meal substitute, you could add some vitamins or use a meal protein powder instead of the whey protein powder.
