- Common Protein Shake Recipes ! -

A Common Question I get asked…

Have you got any good protein shake recipes as I find drinking them tasteless and uninspiring and want something to liven them up?

Answer

Yes, protein drinks can be boring, so, as well as making them more tasty and enjoyable to consume, why not add some extra nutrients to bump up carbs and vitamins and minerals? Here are some of my personal favourites.
