Protein Shake To Go!

I don’t know about you but with the colder weather, I’m less likely to throw ice into my blender and make one of my favorite protein smoothies - I get so cold!  I still want the protein and nutrition but not the CHILLS. Below is a super easy, fast, delicious, and low carb recipe that will simplify your morning routine and help you get over that ice aversion. This is also a great post-workout shake you can throw in your gym bag and go!

What you need

• Mason Jar
• Protein Powder
• Naked Peanut butter powder (totally optional but adds protein, creaminess, and flavor)
• Chia seeds
• a few ice cubes
• 1/2 cup of milk (any kind)

To Do: You can prepare an entire week's worth in about 5 minutes. I suggest doing step 1 & 2 in the evening before bed.

1.  Decide how many you want to prep and grab some mason jars.
2. Pour in each jar: 1 scoop protein powder (approx. 120 calories), 1 scoop Naked Peanut butter powder (50 calories), 1 TBSP chia seeds (60 calories- chia seeds are so good for your digestion and full of nutrition).
3. Sleep…..zzzzzzzz
4. Wake and grab 1 prepared jar – fill to top with ice and 1/2 cup milk.
5. Shake… like crazy.  Make sure you get the powder off the bottom then just shake a little more for good measure.

That's it!  The chia seeds become gelatinous after sitting for about 10 minutes.  I like this texture but if you're not a fan, you can omit the chia seeds or drink immediately. I will be taking this to work with me through the winter. Having it ready and cold is perfect after a good workout. This is also a great afternoon snack or meal replacement. Total Calories vary but generally it is about 200-300 calories (depends on the protein powder and milk you use) and contains approximately 35 grams of protein.
