This recipe is packed with calories, so I suggest that only those who are looking to increase calories for the day try this. This protein shake would be perfect for a post-workout meal or it's time for you to eat again and you're still full from your last meal {this shake would be great for that}. I'm hoping in the very near future, I'll come up with a lean version for those of us who are cutting calories.
TROPICAL PROTEIN SHAKE {bulking version}
Servings: 1
Ingredients
2 scoops of Banana BSN Syntha-6 Whey Protein {vanilla whey works good too}
6 oz. 100% pineapple juice
1/2 cup coconut milk {unsweetened}
1/4 cup Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Directions
Mix all ingredients in a blender. Blend till smooth and drink.
Stephanie's Tip
This is the first time I've used coconut milk and I was shocked to see that it had hardened and was super thick. That's totally normal. Either shake the can before opening it or do what I did and stir it really well before measuring out your 1/2 cup. Also too, try chilling your pineapple juce before mixing it in. Your protein shake will taste much better the colder it is.
On another note: Like I said before this protein shake is loaded with calories, so if you prefer, you could even split this recipe in half. Drink half pre-workout and the other half post-workout.
