3 Delicious Protein Shake Recipes

To provide you with a little inspiration and a starting point, I’ve put together three of my favorite protein shake recipes. To prepare them, just add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

1. The “Anytime” Protein Shake

The “Anytime” Protein Shake is a fantastic option for consumption at any point of the day and has a relatively even macronutrient split. Plus, the taste is standard and it has a few ingredients to boost this shake’s overall nutrient density.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Calories: ~450kcals

 Ingredients:

• 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
• 1 banana
• 1 cup of baby spinach
•  2 Tbs. of peanut butter
• 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or water
• 1 cup of ice

This shake is probably the most standard option out there and nails a lot of gold standard protein shake flavors.

2. It’s Massing Time

One of my favorite protein shake options when in gaining phases is what I call, “It’s Massing Time.” To be honest, the name could use a little work, so I’d suggest being far more creative than myself when building your favorite mass-building shake.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Calories: ~800kcals

Ingredients: 

• 1 scoop of protein powder
• 1 cup of plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
• 2 Tbs. of peanut butter
• 1 serving of dark chocolate
• 1 banana
• 1 cup of ice
• 1 cup of milk

I’ll also add ingredients like blueberries, strawberries, and spinach which are all relatively low in calories and help add a great nutrient density to the shake.

3. Lean and Mean

Truthfully, there’s nothing mean about this shake and I just liked that “mean” rhymed. This shake is a fantastic option for those in deficit phases that want a tasty protein shake that has a good volume for the caloric intake you’re getting.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Calories: ~300kcals

Ingredients: 

• 1 scoop of protein powder
• 1 cup of strawberries or blueberries
• 1 cup of baby spinach
• 1 tbsp of peanut butter
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of ice

This shake has a good amount of protein and a ton of volume for the caloric amount. You can also swap the peanut butter out for a fat-free Greek yogurt if you want more protein and less fat.
