Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pour 8 fl oz of apple juice into your blender or shaker bottle.
- Measure out one scoop of whey protein powder (usually around 30 grams, depending on your brand).
- Measure 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Add the scoop of whey protein powder to the blender or shaker bottle with the apple juice.
- Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon.
- If using a blender, place the lid securely on top and blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until all the ingredients are well combined.
- If using a shaker bottle, ensure the lid is tightly closed and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to a minute until smooth.
- Pour the Apple Spice Protein Shake into a glass if you used a blender. If you used a shaker bottle, you can enjoy it directly from there.
- Optionally, sprinkle a tiny bit of extra ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
- Drink immediately. This shake is best served fresh to benefit from its full flavor and texture.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, consider using a high-speed blender to fully incorporate the ingredients.
- If you prefer a colder shake, add a handful of ice cubes or freeze the apple juice beforehand.
- Feel free to adjust the cinnamon to your taste preference, or even add a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice.
- Opt for unsweetened apple juice to control the sugar content and keep it healthier.
- For an added nutritional boost, throw in a handful of spinach or a small banana.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, this apple spice protein shake is not only delicious but also highly nutritious. Whether you're on the go or looking for a post-workout recovery drink, this shake will give you the energy and protein you need to power through your day.
