Power-Packed Protein Shake for Energy, Gut Health & Recovery
Hello Friend!
Do you ever just need something quick, satisfying, and actually good for your body?
This is my go-to protein drink when I want to feel strong, focused, and fueled for the day—whether it’s a workout, a busy morning, or just staying consistent with healthy habits. And bonus: it tastes like a cinnamon cocoa treat without any sugar.
But this isn’t just a shake. It’s a wellness powerhouse loaded with ingredients that nourish your body from the inside out.
What’s Inside My Favorite Protein Shake:
Garden of Life Unsweetened Plant-Based Protein
This is my favorite protein mix because it’s clean, sugar-free, and includes BCAAs and probiotics for muscle recovery and gut health.
Prebiotics & Probiotics
Support digestion, boost your immune system, and help your body absorb nutrients efficiently.
Raw Cocoa Powder + Cinnamon
Adds a rich, dessert-like flavor while packing in antioxidants and helping regulate blood sugar.
Chia Seeds + Freshly Ground Flax
Loaded with fiber, healthy fats, plant-based protein, and omega-3s to keep you satisfied and support brain and heart health. I buy whole, organic flax, grind it in my coffee grinder, and store it in the fridge for the week ahead. This ensures I'm getting its maximum nutrient content!
Maca Powder
This is my secret ingredient! Maca gives a natural energy boost, supports hormone balance, and enhances mental clarity—all without caffeine.
Unsweetened Almond or Coconut Milk + Coconut Cream (optional)
A creamy, dairy-free base with the option for added healthy fats from coconut cream.

Shake, drink, and enjoy! (I use this noise-free protein shaker and love it!) Also, you'll want to drink this shake quickly because it becomes thicker with time!
