A protein shake doesn't need a long ingredient list. This one takes about five minutes, uses frozen fruit instead of ice so it comes out thick and cold, and every ingredient is on our shelves in Palm Beach Gardens.
Ingredients (makes 1 large shake)
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder, such as Bluebonnet Iso Whey Protein Vanilla (see swaps below for dairy-free options)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, such as MALK Unsweetened Almond Milk or Elmhurst 1925 Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/2 cup Cadia Organic Frozen Mangos
- 1/2 cup Cadia Organic Frozen Cherries
- 1 tablespoon Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Cadia Organic Creamy Peanut Butter for a richer shake
Directions
- Pour the almond milk into the blender first. Liquid on the bottom helps the blades move.
- Add the protein powder, hemp hearts and peanut butter, if using.
- Add the frozen mango and cherries last.
- Blend for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
Make it your way
- Dairy-free. Swap the whey for Country Life Vegan Protein Vanilla or NOW Foods Pea Protein Unflavored.
- Add collagen. Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein is unflavored and lists 9 g of protein per scoop. Note that it contains egg and fish.
- Chocolate cherry. Leave out the mango, use 1 cup of cherries and add 1 tablespoon of Organic Traditions Cacao Powder, which has no added sugar.
- Tangy. Use Alexandre Family Farm A2/A2 Lowfat Kefir instead of almond milk.
What's in it? Read the labels
The fruit adds natural sweetness with no added sugar. Per the Nutrition Facts panels, 1 cup of the Cadia frozen mango has 80 calories and 19 g of total sugars, and 1 cup of the Cadia frozen cherries has 90 calories and 18 g of total sugars, with 0 g added sugars in both. This recipe uses half a cup of each. Two tablespoons of the Cadia peanut butter add 8 g of protein. The protein in the finished shake depends mostly on your powder, so check the grams per scoop on the tub you choose.
