Coach C’s Top 5 Protein Shake Recipes for Weight Loss

Protein Shake Recipes for Weight Loss

You can make a smoothie, or you can make a SMOOTHIE. On most days, I just toss two scoops of my favorite BioTRUST protein blend into a shaker with eight ounces of water, drink it down in a few chugs, and toss the blender bottle in the sink. Other days, I want something a little more filling, with a little more oomph, but without breaking my calories allotted for that particular meal.

If you are mindful of healthy fats, good carbs, and use a solid protein source (BioTRUST, of course), then you, too, can create a foolproof weight-loss protein shake.

The following are my favorite protein shake of all time. I hope you enjoy them!

*I would love for you to share your favorite recipes with me in the comments below.

Protein Shake Recipe

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender/NutriBullet, and blend until all ingredients are incorporated.
  2. Serve immediately.
  3. Enjoy!

Chef Note: For roughly 53 additional calories, you can add ½ frozen banana, which will add a smooth and creamy texture to this shake. It does slightly alter the flavor profile, but not so much that you can’t still tell this is a peanut butter cup.

Chef Note: If you are like me and are heavy-handed with the peanut butter, you could add another tablespoon or even some fresh unsalted peanuts.

Chef Note: For a slight increase in calories, carbohydrates, and protein, you could swap out the Low Carb Lite for Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter and really dial in the peanut butter cup flavor.

  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender/NutriBullet, and blend until all ingredients are incorporated.
  2. Serve over ice.
  3. Enjoy!

Chef Note: For a slight increase in calories, carbohydrates, and protein, you could swap out the Low Carb Lite for Low Carb Café Mocha. This will give it an even richer coffee flavor.

Chef Note: If you are adhering to a ketogenic diet, add 1 scoop of Keto Elevate for a deliciously creamy treat. I suppose this would be considered “3 birds.”

Yields 1 serving

  • Calories: 159

  • Carbohydrates: 13.4 g
  • Protein: 26.4 g

*I also made this as a hot version with freshly brewed black coffee, and it was just as delicious. You could omit the Greek yogurt if you prefer and just mix 2 scoops of your favorite Low Carb flavor into your morning cup of coffee.
