Ok, maybe I don’t get an A+ for originality here, but there’s nothing quite like a post-workout blueberries and cream protein shake, with its amino acids for gains and medium glycemic carbs for refueling.
Most of us know blueberries are good to ingest after a workout because they contain anthocyanins and calcium D-glucarate. Anthocyanins give blueberries bluish pigment and are potent antioxidants with natural anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have shown that calcium D-glucarate may reduce serum estrogen levels in the body, supporting healthy testosterone levels.
1 scoop Vanilla Cream Wafer Protalyn® Whey Protein Isolate
½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 pack of stevia
2 packs of monk fruit or sucralose sweetener
½ tray of ice
¾ cup of water (we use alkaline water, but we can get into that later). If you aren’t cutting calories, use unsweetened regular, vanilla Almond, or cashew milk.
1 tsp. chia seeds
I pour half of the water in first, then the whey and sweeteners, then the ice, then the blueberries, and finally the rest. Pouring some water on the bottom helps the blades spin and prevents the powder from sticking to the bottom when mixed, and pouring it on top helps prevent “puff backs” in your face when you open the blender. Blend until all the ice is broken to your taste.
