Healthy Protein Shake Recipes

A number of people have been asking me lately for some recipes for protein shakes. We LOVE making protein shakes and drink them almost everyday. 


We recommend using Cinch Protein Shake Mix. If you use the Cinch Protein as directed (2 scoops), it can be a complete low glycemic meal replacement with 6 grams of fiber and 24 grams of protein per serving. Cinch Protein  is also powered by Leucine to preserve muscle. And of course, like any Shaklee product, there are NO artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or GMO ingredients. 
We also use Energizing Protein which helps ward off hunger and maintain energy for hours. Here are a few delicious recipes...enjoy!

Strawberry Banana
  • 8 oz non-fat milk or almond milk (we use both)
  • 1-2 scoops Vanilla Cinch Protein
  • 5 large frozen strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • (optional) 4 ice cubes
      Blend until creamy. If the shake is a bit too thick, add extra milk.

Pumpkin Spice Shake Recipe
  • 2 scoops Cinch Vanilla Protein
  • 8 oz non-fat milk or low fat soy milk
  • 2 tbsp canned organic pumpkin
  • ½ tsp pumpkin spice
  • Dash of vanilla extract
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • 4 – 6 ice cubes
     Blend until creamy.

Vanilla Latte
      Blend until creamy.

Berry Delicious (our favorite!!)
      Blend until creamy. Use fresh strawberries/blueberries when in season. You can also use 2 scoops of Vanilla protein instead of using the strawberry protein.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup
      Blend until creamy. 

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
      Blend until creamy. 

Piña Colada
  • 8 oz. nonfat milk
  • 2 scoops Cinch Vanilla Shake Mix
  • 2 oz. pineapple juice (or 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks) 
  • 1/4 tsp coconut extract
  • Ice as desired
     Mix all ingredients together in a blender until frothy. 

Mocha Latte
     Mix all ingredients together in a blender until frothy.

Strawberry Lemonade
     Mix all ingredients together in a blender until frothy. 

You can pretty much add whatever you want...so be creative! These shakes are easy to make and super healthy!

What's your favorite protein shake recipe?

  17. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your post seem to be running off the
    screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post
    to let you know. The style and design look great though!
    Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks

  24. Hi! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I'm trying to find
    a template or plugin that might be able to fix this issue.

  25. I want some new skinny jeans but before I buy
    regular denim jeans I wanted to try out many
    jeggings. I've been looking online at a great deal of places but so far American Eagle has had a good deal on theirs online, as well as they look very good in the photos. If you've worn
    the jeggings from AE would definitely we recommend them to an
    additional brand? Or perhaps just stick to regular denim jeans.

    made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful

  32. Thanks for the great protein shake recipes. I think you and your readers may be interested in learning more about what to look for when choosing the best protein powder.


    I am a co-owner of Raw Organic Whey, a new company that recently made our USDA certified organic whey protein publicly available online (www.raworganicwhey.com).

    Our desire to eat the purest, organic and unprocessed foods drove us to find the best whey protein that exists. I think that you and your readers may find our website and whey protein interesting as our site has a lot of information on the benefits of going organic with whey and the importance of organic whey. Our whey protein comes from small dairy farms in the U.S. and supports sustainable, family farms in the Midwest.

    Please let me know if you have any questions regarding Raw Organic Whey.

    Thanks!
