Strawberries and Cream Protein Shake
May 21: National Strawberries and Cream Day
A shake made with strawberries and cream is pretty in pink—but it packs a punch when protein powder is mixed in. After a hard workout at the gym, Highlander replenishes himself with a healthy and nutritious shake like the one photographed above. It’s tough enough for building muscle and tasty enough for a blog recipe post on National Strawberries and Cream Day.
Recipe
(Adapted from Protein Body Building)
Ingredients
- 8 fresh strawberries
- 4 tablespoons light or fat-free sour cream
- 1 ½ cups fat-free cold milk
- 4 tablespoons strawberry-flavored whey protein powder (we used Labrada Lean Body wild strawberry hi-protein meal replacement packet)
Directions
Wash the strawberries and cut off their leafy tops. Put them in a blender with the sour cream, milk and protein powder. Blend to liquefy all the ingredients. Pour the shake into a tall glass. Garnish with a strawberry.
Notes
- Substitutions can be made for this recipe. Use water or juice instead of milk and vanilla-flavored whey protein powder instead of strawberry-flavored.
