Are you tired of boring protein shakes? If so, then this is the blog for you. I’m going to share my 3 favorite recipes that are packed with flavor, and most importantly, protein.
Protein shakes are a quick and convenient way to get your nutrients and hit your macros when you are on the go. Some ways to integrate protein shakes into your diet can be as a meal replacement, snack, or for post workout recovery. Protein shakes don’t have to be plain, boring, or gross. It’s best to find recipes that use the foods you love; for me, that’s peanut butter, coffee, pumpkin, and chai! So the recipes I want to share with you are: Peanut Butter Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice, and Vanilla Chai.
Peanut Butter Cold Brew
Prep Time: 5 mins
Ingredients
● 2 scoops of your favorite vanilla protein
● 1 banana
● 2 tablespoons of your favorite creamy peanut butter
● ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
● ½ cup of cold brew concentrate
● Ice, as needed
1) Place all the ingredients into the blender. Blend!
Pumpkin Spice
Prep time: 5 mins
Ingredients
● 1 banana
● 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
● ½ cup of canned pumpkin
● 2 dates
● 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
● ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
● 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
● Ice, as needed
1) Place all the ingredients into the blender. Blend!
Vanilla Chai
Prep time: 5 mins
Ingredients
● ½ cup of chai tea (brewed and chilled)
● 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
● ¼ cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
● 1 banana
● ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
● ½ tablespoon of almond butter
● Ice, as needed
1) Place all the ingredients into the blender. Blend!
* For all recipes, you can freeze the banana, so you won’t need to use ice. I like to use Vega protein powder, but any will do.
Give these recipes a try! Hope you like them!

Finally, protein shakes that don't taste like chalk! The Peanut Butter Cold Brew recipe looks amazing. I'll definitely try adding frozen banana instead of ice for that thick texture. Just what I needed before I run an online fps test to check my refresh rate checker results.
