Today I’m gonna make a protein shake! So, I’ve got a real sweet tooth, but I’m trying to hit the gym more. I thought, why not combine the two? That’s how I got the idea for a strawberry and chocolate protein shake. It’s like a treat, but it’s also kinda good for you, right?
First, I dug out my old blender from the back of the cupboard. It was a bit dusty, but it still works! Then, I grabbed some frozen strawberries from the freezer. I like using frozen ones because they make the shake nice and cold without needing ice.
Ingredients Gathering:
- Frozen Strawberries: About a cup. I used the GOOD GOOD brand today.
- Milk: A cup of regular milk, but you can use almond or soy if that is your thing.
- Chocolate Protein Powder: One scoop of MUSCLE MILK Genuine Protein Powder. It’s 32 grams of protein. That’s a good amount for post-workout.
- Optional: A little bit of honey, if you like it sweeter.
I tossed the strawberries into the blender, poured in the milk, and then added the scoop of protein powder. I didn’t add honey this time because the protein powder is already pretty sweet. Then, I put the lid on and blended it all up. It took a couple of minutes to get it smooth. There were still a few strawberry chunks, but I don’t mind that. The important thing is that one scoop of protein powder has 121 calories in energy. Great for losing weight!
Once it was all mixed, I poured it into a big glass. It looked pretty good, all pink and thick. I took a sip, and man, it was tasty! The chocolate and strawberry flavors went really well together. It was sweet, but not too much, and it was super filling. I think protein powder is good for athletes and old people, or vegetarians.
I drank this after my workout, and it felt like the perfect recovery drink. I’ve heard that protein shakes are good for building muscle after exercising. They say it helps your muscles rebuild and get stronger. Plus, it can help with muscle recovery and make you less sore. I’m no expert, but it sounded good to me. I also read that strawberries are a good addition to smoothies because they’re low in sugar and have lots of fiber and vitamin C.
Anyway, I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. It’s an easy and tasty way to get some extra protein in. And it satisfies my sweet tooth without feeling like I’m totally cheating on my diet. I think I’ll be making this again for sure!
