Super Shake

1. LIQUID

SHOP RECOMMENDATION: Water

• Water is the optimal choice because it will ensure hydration without adding extra calories to your shake
• Less liquid will make for thick shakes, while more liquid will result in thin shakes

2. PROTEIN POWDER

SHOP RECOMMENDATION: Vanilla Whey Protein Powder

• Choose a protein powder that tastes good and mixes well. This will be the primary flavor of your shake, so you should definitely enjoy the taste.
• Aim for a minimum of 25g of protein

3. VEGGIE

SHOP RECOMMENDATION: Spinach

• Spinach is a great choice because it will practically disappear when blended and does not have a strong taste. Further, spinach is a superfood that provides more nutrients than any other food on a calorie-for-calorie basis.

4. FRUIT

SHOP RECOMMENDATION: Frozen Berries

• Frozen berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, work very well in a Super Shake because they taste delicious and will add thickness and texture to your shake.
• Almost all berries are considered superfoods for their extremely high antioxidant values.

5. HEALTHY FAT

SHOP RECOMMENDATION: Liquid Fish Oil

• Consider a liquid fish oil for the essential fatty acids (Omega 3’s) without the fishy taste.
• Nuts, such as almonds or nut butter, offer a rich consistency.
• Use sparingly, as healthy fats are calorically dense.

6. TOPPER

SHOP RECOMMENDATION: Cinnamon

• Cinnamon tastes incredible when blended with a vanilla protein powder and frozen berries!
• In case the taste wasn’t enough, cinnamon also boasts the following:
  • Anti-inflammatory compounds that can help with muscle and joint pain
  • Compounds called catechins that can improve digestive function
  • Ability to reduce blood sugar, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol
