Craig's Post Workout Shake

Hey guys,

There are many different ways to make a shake and I have recently been ask what my recipe is for my protein shake.

Well here it is!

First I add about 4 to 5 ice cubes with a scoop and a half of protein in a blender.

I then add a 1/4 cup of oats (I'm a texture guy and this thickens the shake up) followed by a healthy scoop of natural chunky peanut butter (Teddy's) and then almond milk just to the top of the ice.

Now for the finisher, which isn't for everybody, real deal hot sauce! Not frank's red hot, but the kind of stuff you can see the seeds in (only a couple of dashes or more depending on how hot you want it). The reason for this is it adds flavor but also spicy food really kick up your metabolism.

It does this by the element that gives chili's their heat, capsaicin.

Now, everybody is different and my recipe might not be for you but, that's the fun in creating your own personal shakes! On that note, be smart about what you put in your shake! Remember its a protein shake, not a milk shake!

If you think you have a great recipe, post it on our Facebook page!

Thanks for checking out my blog and have a great day!
