My Raspberry Protein Shake
In this article I’ll show you how to make the Raspberry Protein Shake that I have every morning for breakfast. This shake keeps me 100% filled for 18 holes of golf.
I’ve always been a breakfast person and can’t start the day without it. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day to me. It gets my metabolism going, and I believe this is the main reason that I don’t tend to carry too much weight.
Since 2016 I’ve been having this protein shake or similar for breakfast each day.
I batch make these on a Sunday night. Typically five at a time. This means during the week, when I’m at my most busiest I don’t have to worry about finding time to make breakfast. I simply grab the pre-prepared bottle from the fridge and give it a quick jiggle to liven it up. At weekends when I have more time I’ll often make them fresh.
I find this Raspberry Protein Shake tends to keep me satiated until lunchtime, perfect for that early morning round of golf. It has a bit of a jam doughnut type of flavour to it, which hits my cravings for sweetness. If I have cereal or toast for breakfast, then often I’m hungry again by the middle of the morning and end up snacking on crisps or biscuits. I do tend to mix the recipe around a bit depending on my levels of exercise.
If I know that I’ll be playing golf or channelling my inner Bryson DeChambeau and working out, then I’ll have exactly the recipe below, but if I know I’m in “Sloth-mode” or maybe I have a long day at my desk not burning as many calories as usual, then I’ll likely halve the peanut butter and protein powder to reduce some of the calorie intake.
My Raspberry Protein Shake Recipe:
- 100g Fat free yoghurt
- 200ml Oat milk (or another type of milk depending on what’s in the fridge)
- 60g Smooth Peanut Butter (always without palm oil)
- 30g Oats
- 30g Vanilla Protein Powder
- 100g Frozen Raspberries
Not a fan of raspberries? Simply sub this out for another fruit. I often use blueberries, strawberries or blackberries. If you have some fruit “on the turn” in the fridge then why not make the most of it?
Do you have a shake for breakfast and if so what do you have in it?
Bye for now!
