My new protein shake

[AcadiaPeptides]

Sometimes it feels like the solutions come to you. Having only been on Tirz for a few months I have been adjusting to eating less and realizing I need to eat more protein to feed myself what my body needs. You can read about needing more protein as much as you want but when your body starts responding to more protein the lightbulb goes off. So I started shopping in the previously ignored protein shakes and powders section of the grocery store trying this shake and that shake and not committing to any of them. I despise the paper foil laminate containers known as Tetra Pak these thing all come in but being open minded and needing protein I am dabbling in them.

I finally decided to make my own. Here are the metrics that defined my morning shake and why it seemed to just naturally come to me. Having tried a bunch I gravitate to the vanilla. Check. The family always have yogurt in the fridge. Check. We have chickens. This may be a controversial subject but having our own chickens has always made it easier for me to consume raw eggs on the regular. If you have not had a Margarita with raw egg whites you are missing out. What do you think is in that sour mix that makes it froth? Dried egg white. Anyway the shake woudl have 2 whole raw eggs. Some of the inexpensive vanilla protien powder. Some ice and bit of milk to fill the container. The container! What really committed me to making my own and that I had almost everything already is I already have a Ninja blender AND I already have the shaker cups to go with it when we were makin baby food 12 years ago. Found those dug then out and my protein shake was coming together. So here is the recipe.

The 24oz Ninja Protein Power Smoothie

Perfectly portioned for a standard 24oz Ninja blender cup.

Prep time: 2 minutes | Servings: 1 | Total Volume: ~24 oz

​
Ingredients

1 scoop Protein Powder (Vanilla, Chocolate, or Unflavored)

2 Home Grown Raw Eggs

1 large spoonful Vanilla Yogurt

Ice: Fill cup approximately 3/4 full

Water or Milk: Top off to the "Max Fill" line

​
Instructions

Add Base Solids: Place the protein powder and vanilla yogurt into the bottom of the Ninja 24oz Cup.

Add Eggs: Crack the two home-grown eggs into the cup.

Ice Layer: Add ice until the cup is about three-quarters full. This provides the "frothy" texture typical of chilled protein shakes.

Liquid Fill: Pour water or milk over the ice until it reaches the Max Fill line on your Ninja cup.

Blend: Secure the blade assembly and blend for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth.

Thanks for this. Will have to give it a try! Likely less expensive than the Pure Protein ready-made I've been getting from Sam's.

and infinitely adjustable. I have most of this stuff on hand so the recipe kind of made its self as well as having the tools already in my cabinet.

We make our own. 8-10oz of water, 1 scoop protein power, flavor of your choice, 1 scope collagen and a scoop of oat bran in a shaker cup. We normally add a few ice cubes too. That's normally our lunch.

The collagen! My wife has some of that. That's going in tomorrow's smoothie.
