Low Fat, Low Calorie Protein Shake
Anyone working out with weights needs protein before or just after a workout. This is a low fat, low calorie protein shake using whey protein. Why whey? It is supposed to be the best for rebuilding muscle damaged during your workout.
First you have to have a blender capable of handling ice cubes.
*Add two cups of water and an equal amount of ice to the blender.
*Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of nonfat dry milk.
*Add 1/3 package of sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding and a “shot” of sugar-free chocolate syrup. You can also add some Splenda if it’s not sweet enough for you.
Blend on HIGH until the mixture looks smooth then reduce speed to LOW and add one large scoop of whey protein powder (the scoop comes inside the container). Blend for only about 20 seconds or the protein begins to break down. Enjoy!
You can use vanilla pudding and frozen fruit if you are not a chocolate lover. Drinking this within 30 minutes after your workout will help prevent next-day soreness and give your muscles what they need to grow and repair. There’s no fat and almost no sugar.
