- Water 8 oz
- Apple 1 medium
Method

Prepare your ingredients.
Start by gathering all your ingredients: one scoop of whey protein powder, 8 ounces of water, and one medium apple. Make sure the apple is washed thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Tip: Use cold water for the shake if you prefer it chilled. -
Mix the protein shake.
Pour 8 ounces of water into a shaker bottle or blender. Add one scoop of whey protein powder. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds until the powder is fully dissolved and the shake is smooth. If using a blender, blend for 10-15 seconds.
Tip: If you don't have a shaker bottle, a blender or even a jar with a tight lid works well. -
Prepare the apple.
While the shake is mixing, you can slice the apple if you prefer it cut. Use a knife to cut the apple into wedges or bite-sized pieces. You can eat it whole if you like.
Tip: If you want to prevent browning on cut apple slices, you can sprinkle a little lemon juice on them. -
Serve and enjoy.
Pour the protein shake into a glass if you used a blender. Enjoy the shake along with your fresh apple for a balanced and refreshing snack.
Tip: Drink the shake immediately for the best taste and texture.
