101 Protein Shake Recipes

Protein shakes are absolutely fantastic when it comes to pre-workout or post-workout nutrition. The shake can be tailored to fit whatever your needs are, and with the right ingredients it could even taste great. The majority of them are Whey Protein Shake Recipes but there are a few that are based around Milk and Eggs as the protein source.

When I first started out, i had absolutely no idea how to make one, or even the different combinations that were possible. I then set out to compile a list, with all the protein shake recipes I could find online and what you below, is the result of that search.

As for this list of shakes, what you will see are the ingredients. The actual process of making them is quite simple, and just involves putting everything in a blender and blitzing it for about 45 seconds. You can increase/decrease Ice into the mix until you get the consistency you like (thick or smooth).
