Delicious and Nutritious Protein Shake

I have been asked over and over what goes into my morning protein shake. I will provide a recipe below but one of the keys to enjoying a healthy shake is to experiment and find what you like (this does not mean that you add ice cream).  Below is my shake recipe with alternatives listed.  Links are included to help with creating a shopping list. 

In a Vitamix (a Vitamix is highly recommended because it will completely chop ice. I have owned mine for years and I know it will last for years. The Vitamix link will take you to a special free shipping offer if you do not have a Vitamix)

1.5 cups almond milk (we use unsweetened because we try to consume NO added sugar and we don't do dairy)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1.5 Tbsp flax seed oil (I use organic high lignan oil)

1.5 Tbsp coconut oil

1.5 Tbsp organic cacao powder (most people don't realize that raw cacao powder is a super food with many health benefits- the problem arises when we add sugar and eat the chocolate)

2 Tbsp organic ground flax seed powder (you can also soak seeds and add raw, whole seeds such as sunflower, pumpkin, or flax seeds)

2 Tbsp organic hemp protein powder

2 Tbsp undenatured whey protein or egg white protein powder (we alternate between these two protein sources)

1 Tbsp vanilla mochatonix (this products adds a little sweetener along with some herbal caffeine)- you could add some stevia for sweetener if you want a little sweetness. I found that the vanilla Mochatonix gives it a PERFECT taste and gives me the boost I need in the morning without tea or coffee.

2-3 scoops of complete greens powder

Ice

Complete Greens®
