Weight loss shakes are an easy way to reduce body fat and balance your diet. Shakes are highly customizable and can be personalized to suit your tastes and preferences. Use the recipe below as a template to design your own shakes. When creating your own shakes, always include a source of protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and natural fiber.
Step 1
Pour 1 cup of green tea into your blender followed by one scoop of chocolate protein powder and process for 15 to 30 seconds until smooth. The green tea acts as a base liquid for the shake and provides you with a small amount of caffeine.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup fat-free yogurt to your blender and process for 15 to 30 seconds. The yogurt provides you with additional protein and healthy digestive enzymes.
Step 3
Put four to six almonds to your blender and process for 15 to 30 seconds. The almonds provide healthy fats and a few more grams of protein.
Step 4
Add one scoop of unflavored fiber powder to your blender and process for 15 to 30 seconds. The fiber powder provides you with additional grams of fiber.
Step 5
Process all ingredients until smooth and transfer to a resealable liquid container. Drink immediately or keep refrigerated.
Tips and Warnings
- If the shake becomes too thick to blend after adding any ingredient, add more green tea until the consistency improves. Ingredients can be substituted to suit your personal tastes. For example, use coffee in place of green tea or walnuts in place of almonds.
- Always power off the blender before removing the cap or adding ingredients.
