  • New Protein Shake and Increased Daily Protein Intake

    I’ve tweaked my protein shake again.  I have decided to increase my daily protein intake significantly to aid in muscle development.  So, in modifying my protein shake I have added a second scoop of protein powder bringing the total whey protein in the drink to over 40 grams.  It of course doesn’t taste as yummy anymore, but it still tastes good.  For those of you that would like my recipe it is as follows:

    1 Cup of 1% Organic Milk
    1 Table Spoon of Flaxseed Oil
    1 Table Spoon of Amino Acids
    2 Scoops of Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
    4 Strawberries
    Handful of Blue Berries
    (Optional) A Banana

    I have been using the shake post workout in the evenings and in the morning I drink a Myoplex chocolate fudge protein shake.

    Sounds like a good tasting shake. I just use plain ol' non-organic milk in hopes that the latent bovine growth hormones will help out :)

    Just stopped in to read your recipe and join this blogring- real interested in losing weight and getting fit- thanks for the tip on protein. I use homemade yogurt in my shakes and frozen strawberries,raspberries, and blueberries. canby51

    You do realize that the amino acids are redundant since almost all protein powders supplement the whey with BCAAs. 

    And the flax seed oil is going to reduce the absorption rate of the whey.

    Post workout I've found straight up whey protein + a simple carb (dextrose) is the fastest and most efficient absorption post workout followed by a meal.

    Your shake sounds like a good snack between meals or as a meal substitute in a pinch.
