Protein Shake

I haven't posted in awhile, but I feel like posting my newest contraption: a protein powder-less post workout shake. I made this because protein powders can be expensive and/or contain unwanted ingredients. 

This shake is very high in calories (and fat). High calories are great for gaining weight/strength (my goal), but if that is not your goal I will give you a few options to reduce the calories.

Here it is!

1/2 cup at free powdered milk+1.5 cups water+1 tablespoon olive oil OR 1.5-1.75 cups whole milk. (To reduce calories: leave out tablespoon of olive oil OR use a milk with less fat)

1/2 cup dried oats. (May want to blend before use)

1/2 cup peanut butter (to reduce calories, use less. Peanut butter is super high in calories)

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder

1 Frozen banana (room temperature bananas make it warm and gross)

Optional: 1 raw, well washed egg. (Look into health risks before using)

Blend everything for a couple minutes.

I enjoy this. If you want to make it higher in protein still, you can add a scoop of protein powder (if you do, I would recommend taking out 1 tablespoon cocoa powder). 

Let me know what you think!
