How to Make a Diet Protein Shake

Light protein shakes can be an excellent complement to your workouts, but calories can add up quickly. If your goal is to lose weight, there are ways to keep the calorie count low without sacrificing on flavor when making your own. And if you pick up a shake or smoothie on the go, make sure to check the nutritional facts before blowing your daily calorie intake.

Step 1

In a blender, combine 1 small banana, 1 scoop EAS Vanilla Whey Protein, 1/2 cup green tea, and a handful of ice cubes.

Step 2

Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Pour into a glass and enjoy.
