Everyone has their own special protein shake recipe, I don’t claim that mine is anything special, it’s not even really a recipe but my mental health decline has seen me avoid making food so this is my way of easing back into that.
You will need a blender, and…
20-25g Protein powder (I use a vanilla whey protein from bargain store ‘Home Bargains, I have heard that milk protein is better, use what you like but I say for this ‘recipe’ vanilla works best)
1 Tea spoon of Cocoa Powder
1 Tea spoon of Chia Seeds
200ml milk
1 Table spoon of Molasses
1 Banana
Put all the stuff in a blender and blend your troubles away.
Molasses are great! I’ll admit it took me a while to get used to the taste, to the point I was thinking of putting my jar on OLIO, but now I love it. Molasses are full of iron, magnesium and anti oxidants (according to my Runner’s World Guide to Women’s Running)
I have this for breakfast if I have time, or maybe if I have had a very intensive work out I will have this. It’s yum.
