Are you looking for a nutrient-packed, high-calorie shake to fuel your day or recover after an intense workout? This apricot protein shake with oats and almonds combines the natural sweetness of dried apricots, the creaminess of milk, and the nutritional power of oats, chia seeds, almonds, and whey protein. With a substantial 1,000 calories per serving, this shake is perfect for those seeking a delicious and energy-dense option.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1/2 cup of oats and set aside. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the oats first until they are a fine powder before adding them to the shake.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the seeds hydrate and develop a gel-like consistency, which will enhance the texture of the shake.
- Add the hydrated chia seeds, 2 cups of milk, and the pre-measured oats into a high-powered blender.
- Add 2 scoops of whey protein powder.
- Toss in the 10 almonds for a crunchy texture and added nutrition.
- Lastly, add 1.5 cups of dried apricots.
- Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. If the shake is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk or water gradually until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Taste the shake and adjust sweetness as needed. If you'd like a sweeter shake, you can add a natural sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative. Just a teaspoon should be enough.
- Pour the shake into a large glass or a shaker bottle if you’re on the go.
- For an extra touch, you can top your shake with a few more chopped almonds or an extra sprinkle of chia seeds.
- Enjoy your Apricot Protein Shake with Oats and Almonds as a nutritious meal replacement or an energy-boosting snack!
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, blend the oats separately before adding them to the shake.
- Soak the dried apricots in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending to make them easier to mix.
- Adjust the thickness of your shake by adding more or less milk according to your preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Make sure your blender is powerful enough to handle the oats and almonds; if not, grind them separately before blending all ingredients together.
- If you are lactose intolerant or prefer a non-dairy option, substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based milk.
Enjoy your Apricot Protein Shake as a part of your balanced diet to help meet your caloric and nutritional needs. Whether you're aiming to build muscle, recover from a workout, or simply need an energy boost, this shake is a delicious and efficient way to nourish your body.
