Whey Protein Shake with Almond Milk

Ingredients

• Whey protein powder 1 scoop
• Unsweetened almond milk 1 cup
• Chia seeds 1 tsp
• Honey or sweetener Optional
• Ice cubes Optional

Method

1. Prepare your ingredients. Gather 1 scoop of whey protein powder (about 30g), 1 cup (240ml) of unsweetened almond milk, and 1 teaspoon (5g) of chia seeds. If you like, have some ice cubes and sweetener ready.
   Tip: Measure ingredients accurately for best nutrition results.
2. Add ingredients to blender. Pour the almond milk into your blender first. Then add the whey protein powder and chia seeds. Adding the liquid first helps prevent the powder from sticking to the bottom.
   Tip: If you don’t have a blender, you can use a shaker bottle with a mixing ball.
3. Blend the shake. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and the chia seeds are well incorporated. If you want a colder shake, add a few ice cubes before blending.
   Tip: Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to mix everything evenly.
4. Taste and adjust. Taste your shake. If you prefer it sweeter, add a small amount of honey or your favorite sweetener and blend again for 10 seconds.
   Tip: Add sweetener gradually to avoid over-sweetening.
5. Serve immediately. Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
   Tip: Protein shakes are best consumed fresh to retain nutrients and taste.

Pro tips

• Use cold almond milk or add ice cubes for a refreshing shake.
• If you want a thicker texture, let the shake sit for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid.
