Stellar Shakes

Okay, weather you work out a lot or not, who in their right mind doesn't enjoy a yummy shake? Here are a few of my favorite recipes that I'm pretty sure I came up with myself through pure trial and error. The best part is that they are healthy, no added sugar (trust me) and taste delicious - Enjoy and let me know what you think!

You have to have a good blender. I prefer the single-serve cup that comes with the Ninja.

Chocolate Milkshake (or Malt):

1 Frozen Banana (1 and a half works really well too, depending on the size of the bananas)
1 Heaping Tablespoon of raw cocoa powder (i.e., baking cocoa)
1 Cup or so of milk (almond, cow, soy, whatever you prefer) (Tip: if using Ninja, just fill to where the milk just covers the bananas, also, don't put to much as it will make it thinner and less like a 'normal' milkshake)
1 Heaping Tablespoon of peanut butter (this is by far the best peanut butter on earth!)
Perhaps a couple ice cubes, depending on blender/consistency
1-2 Tablespoons of raw whey protein, soy protein powder, or crack a raw egg in it. Honestly, most times I skip the extra protein, but after an awesome workout, it couldn't hurt. Some people are anti eggs (especially raw) - I guess you got to be careful about biotin - Google it.
1 Tablespoon of malted milk if you're into that sort of thing.

Blend until all blended and enjoy!

Happy Holiday Egg Nog:
1 Frozen Banana (1 and a half works really well too, depending on the size of the bananas)
1 Heaping Tablespoon of raw cocoa powder (i.e., baking cocoa)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Cup or so of milk (almond, cow, soy, whatever you prefer) (Tip: if using Ninja, just fill to where the milk just covers the bananas, also, don't put to much as it will make it thinner and less like a 'normal' milkshake)
1 Heaping Tablespoon of peanut butter (this is by far the best peanut butter on earth!)
Perhaps a couple ice cubes, depending on blender/consistency
1-2 raw eggs (Some people are anti eggs (especially raw) - I guess you got to be careful about biotin - Google it)
LOTS of ground nutmeg and cinnamon.


The Incredible (pumpkin spice) Hulk:

So, this one comes out green (duh). My kids thought it was going to be "disgusting" - now they request this one!

1 Frozen Banana (1 and a half works really well too, depending on the size of the bananas)
1/2 cup or so of greens (spinach, kale, whatever you prefer)
Pumpkin spice: 1/2 tsp or so of each: ground cloves, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg - all to taste
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Cup or so of milk (almond, cow, soy, whatever you prefer) I prefer almond milk with this one! (Tip: if using Ninja, just fill to where the milk just covers the bananas and greens, also, don't put to much as it will make it thinner and less like a 'normal' milkshake)
1 Heaping Tablespoon of peanut butter (this is by far the best peanut butter on earth!)
Perhaps a couple ice cubes, depending on blender/consistency
1-2 Tablespoons of raw whey protein, soy protein powder, or crack a raw egg in it. Honestly, most times I skip the extra protein, but after an awesome workout, it couldn't hurt. Some people are anti eggs (especially raw) - I guess you got to be careful about biotin - Google it.
