31 Flavors of Protein Shakes

Protein is an essential macro-nutrient for building lean muscle mass and protein shakes can be an important tool for health, fitness gains and fat loss.

Not only does a protein shake meal replacement take only a few minutes to prepare, it keeps you on point with your nutrition while making it easy to avoid unhealthy fast food alternatives for a quick meal. However, blending up the same combination of protein powder, ice and water sure does get boring.

The following 31 Flavors of Protein Shakes will destroy your protein shake boredom once and for all! For each of the recipes below simply combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add extra water, milk or ice as needed to create your desired consistency. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Don’t forget that quality of the protein and quality of anything you put in or on your body can make or break you. I highly recommend Designs for Health for products.

Quiz: Best Time To Drink Your Protein Shake?

Now that you have more protein shake recipes than you know what to do with, you need to know the best time to incorporate it into your day. Which do you think best describes when you should drink a protein shake?

a) You should drink a protein shake in the morning for breakfast.
b) You should drink a protein shake within 30 minutes after your workout.
c) You should drink a protein shake after dinner as a no-guilt dessert.

The truth is that all three of these statements work! A protein shake serves as a quick and easy replacement meal, so feel free to incorporate it into your day as needed.

Just be careful not to choose protein shakes over whole food too often – a good mixture of small meals containing lean proteins and non-starchy vegetables are also important in achieving your healthiest, leanest body. Bottoms up!

Remember that exercise is an essential component to achieving any fitness goal, so supplement your protein shake regimen with high intensity bouts of exercise as tolerated.
