Updated Berry Protein Shake.....

Berry Protein Shake Updated-

8 oz of ONE of the following types of milk

Non-fat milk or

Unsweetened Almond or

Unsweetened Soy

1 scoop of whey protein

1/2 cup of frozen berries (Costco has great frozen berries)

1 tblsp ground flax seed (must be ground- whole seed is too hard to digest)

1 tblsp milled oat bran 

(optional): 1 tsp of Agave nectar 

                 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract 

Blend and enjoy- 

I drink a berry protein shake everyday.  I use it to take my vitamins. 

Adding the flax seed and oat bran make this an amazing nutrition packed breakfast or mid morning snack.

The berries (especially blueberries) are a Super Food with tons of disease fighting antioxidants.  Oat bran is another “super food” that contains fiber, protein, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium and thiamine.

The complex low calorie carbs you get from oats are a great way to get your energy levels up and going in the morning.  Adding the oats to this shake will also help keep you feeling full longer not to mention helping to lower high cholesterol.

Adding the flax seed also has great benefits like Omega 3 fatty acids.  Like oats they are quick easy way to add fiber and protein along with a laundry list of photo-nutrients to your diet.  Drink up and feel great!
