Low-Carb Protein Shake Recipe

Now that I have a blender, I’ve been experimenting with a few variations of a low-carb protein shake at home. My best iteration so far is a chocolate and banana flavoured protein shake. Here’s how to make it:

• 125 ml of normal or unsweetened soy milk
• 6 ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons of whey protein isolate
• 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed
• 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
• 1 cap-full of banana extract
• 3/4 of a teaspoon of stevia sweetener
• 1/4 teaspoon of Xanthan gum

Put all of that in a blender and chop/mix it all up. It’s actually pretty tasty.
