Over that last few months I have been trying to find a protein shake that I would enjoy. It has been very frustrating mixing ingredients together only to discover that the combination was not good. My husband buys a specific protein shake that I absolutely think is disgusting. I was losing hope.
Finally, I made the perfect protein shake that I actually like. I decided to throw a bunch of ingredients in the blender and got an amazing result!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Almond Milk
- 1 scoop of chocolate Sun Warrior protein powder
- 1 whole banana
- 1 snack cup size of greek yogurt with honey
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp honey (optional if it is not sweet enough)
Directions
Dump all ingredients into blender. Blend. Pour over ice.
I originally added honey, but realized that it made it too sweet. Today, I made it again but eliminated the honey and used a frozen banana. The result? A nice thick milkshake! {Cut up and freeze bananas that are about to go bad!}
I highly recommend the Sun Warrior protein powder. I had heard about it on another blog, but never thought about looking for it until a friend of mine started using it. She likes the vanilla because it’s less gritty. I will admit the chocolate is gritty if you just add it to water. It’s also not very flavorful. It is a great mix to add to almond milk or some other liquid that has more substance than water. I might try adding it to my iced coffee tomorrow to see if it gives a mocha flavor.
I really wanted to start drinking protein shakes after workouts, but my problem is that I ending up… having issues with my first one a few month ago, and I just can’t get the courage to try them again.

there aren’t may protein powders i like but i finally found one that i love.. it’s made by vega sport (called performance protein) and because it’s vegan, it’s the “cleanest” of all protein powders i’ve researched. it’s totally plant-based and natural.
i blend it with 1/2 cup of organic skim milk, 1 cup ice, a banana and fresh berries. SO yummy!! if i want it thicker, i’ll throw in some plain greek yogurt.
