Whether you just got up to make breakfast, came home from a workout at the gym, or need a quick lunch or snack option, protein shakes are a great way to go. They don’t have to be just milk or water with protein powder; add fruits and veggies to give your body the nutrients it needs! Here are some of my favorite recipes for shakes, as well as some new ones I’m going to try out soon!
