Tips To Make This Shake Your Own

Every ingredient in this shake can be modified, which means you can keep it interesting, or even seasonal. There’s no reason to get bored with your morning protein shake. Here are just a few ideas on alternative ingredients you can use.

Use Frozen Mango Instead.

If you don’t like bananas, you can substitute frozen mango. You’ll still get that creamy texture with a much more tropical taste.

Choose Your Favorite Greens.

I chose baby spinach because it blends really well and has a pretty neutral flavor while still being nutrient-packed. Feel free to use another type of dark leafy green – such as kale, collards, chard, or even a mix of baby greens.

Switch Up The Nuts & Berries.

This shake is so versatile, you can use raspberries instead of blueberries, or almonds instead of walnuts. Play around until you figure out which ingredients make your favorite shake.
