This is one of the simplest things to mix together, making this shake not only healthy but super wonderful in the morning or after working out.
- 1 large scoop of protein powder (I really love Gold Standard vanilla flavor, but the Walmart vanilla creme isolate is a close and economical second)
- 2 T milled chia seed (make sure it is milled, otherwise it will feel like a ton of strawberry seeds in the shake!)
- 2 T milled flax seed
- 1 cup low-fat milk
Mix and enjoy! I really enjoy using our magic bullet for this (Which is the only function it serves since it cannot handle anything tougher than liquid 
).
And Voila!
You can totally add some fresh or frozen fruit, PB, etc. I typically do this in the mornings, but after a good workout I want to hurry and get that muscle building and repairing protein in!
Fun Fact: The best time to consume protein after working out is ten minutes post-workout. Shaker cups are a great investment if your gym is far from home. Lucky for me, my husband is a trainer at a gym less than 5 minutes from our home. Win!
Stay healthy and burn off all of those Christmas cookies with me! 😀
