10 Protein Shake Recipes That Actually Help With Weight Loss!

Written by Susan Fox, Health Writer

When it comes to weight loss, protein rules - it boosts metabolism, reduces appetite, and allows the body to burn fat first. But you won't lose weight by adding protein without eating fewer calories overall.

Almased protein shake recipes offer a quick and delicious way of adding more protein to your diet. All calories have been counted, and with a low glycemic index of 27, there are no carb concerns either.

These 10 recipes are so tasty they’ll shatter anyone’s idea about so-called “diet shakes.”

Protein Shake Recipes for Optimal Weight Loss

Start with Almased’s basic shake recipe, but don't stop there. Read on, and you'll see how Almased offers a wealth of options to mix-and-match your shake in ways that put those calorie-watching fast-slimming diets to shame.

1. Almased Classic Shake Recipe

Mix all ingredients in a blender or blender bottle. Add ice if you like. It’s great on its own, of course, but adding other ingredients is where the fun begins.

9. PB & J Shake

The protein source of any diet shake is critical, and combining proteins can create complementary characteristics, like enhancing the amino acid profile. Such is the case with the Almased formula.

The protein from the peanut butter is a bonus!

The humble banana is high on the superfood list due to its potassium, fiber, and other vitamins. It can even help the heart.

If you're on phase 2 of the Almased Diet, you can turn your PB&J into a smoothie bowl. Pour your PB & J shake into a bowl and add healthy toppings, like nuts, goji berries, pumpkin or flax seeds…etc.

8 Tbsp Almased
12 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 Tbsp peanut butter powder
1 tsp strawberry extract

Green Detox is cool and cleansing, delightful and refreshing any time. You're going to love this recipe!

First, prepare the matcha green tea in a cup with hot water and allow to steep. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, adding 2 ice cubes to speed the cooling process.

Place all ingredients into a blender, including tea. Blend for 15-20 seconds. Then pour into a glass and enjoy it. For best digestive results, drink the shake slowly, taking 10-30 minutes to drink the whole shake.
