Hazelnut Cappuccino and Orange Julius Protein Shakes

So, who loves the taste of protein shakes?  Yeah, me neither.  We all know we need lots of protein after a workout, but come on...we've already exercised discipline enough!

Here are the recipes for the shakes I whipped up this morning.  It's good that I'm writing them down here, because I never remember my spontaneous kitchen creativity when I'm ready to repeat the yummy! Be forewarned, though...you may gulp them down so fast, you'll end up with brain freeze.  : )

Hazelnut Cappuccino Protein Shake
In the blender, pour 1 cup of skim milk.
Put on the blender lid, leaving the top hole open for adding the other ingredients.
Start the blender, adding these ingredients in order: (have them ready to go)
1 T Toasted Hazelnut Cappuccino instant coffee (Maxwell House International Cafe)
1 serving vanilla flavored protein shake
1 egg (optional)
1 cup crushed ice
Blend until ice has been reduced to a milkshake consistency.
Top with a dash of nutmeg

Orange Julius Protein Shake

In the blender, pour 1 cup of skim milk and 1/8 cup orange juice concentrate. 

Put on the blender lid, leaving the top hole open for adding the other ingredients.

Start the blender, adding these ingredients in order: (have them ready to go)

1 serving vanilla flavored protein shake

1 cup crushed ice

Blend until ice has been reduced to a milkshake consistency.

By the way, my favorite tasting protein shakes are Advocare meal replacement shakes and are yummy by themselves. Chocolate is my favorite. The protein is actually broken down to be used instantly by your muscles.

Enjoy a protein shake after your next workout and let me know if you try one of my recipes!
