Suggested Protein Shake Recipes from Kent MacLeod

After I wrote my blog post “Dietary Protein and Your Bone Health“, I received several comments and a request for some protein shake recipes. At NutriChem we have spent quite a bit of time sourcing a supplier for our own NutriChem Logical Choice Whey. The whey we have, I believe, has a particularly good dispersibility and a mild flavour. We have received good feedback from our customers.

Here are two recipes I particularly like. Enjoy!

Kent’s Logical Whey Blood Sugar/Insulin Stabilizer Protein Smoothie

Kent’s Logical Whey Low Calorie Orange Banana Creamsicle Protein Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop of Logical Whey Protein Vanilla (83.1 calories)
• ½ cup orange juice (approx 60 calories)
• ½ cup water
• ½ banana (frozen is best) (approx 50 calories)
• 1 tsp of Fiberrific fiber powder (4.5 grams of fiber per tsp)
• 1 tsp of Flora flax or Cyto-Matrix Fish Oil.  (approx 45 calories)
• Optional: Add NutriChem Nutridophilus Powder

Directions:

• Blend all ingredients in a blender with a few ice cubes. If smoothie is too thick, add a little water or some more ice.

Notes:

• Approx:  238 total calories
• 193 calories without the flax or fish oil
• Flax, Fish and Antioxidant oils require refrigeration after opening.
• When using fiber supplements it is necessary to ensure that you are properly hydrated so please drink plenty of water.
