Iced Coffee Protein Shake
This is Iced Protein Shake is truly delicious, hits the spot every time and is packed with nutrients to support energy levels, balance hormones, flood the body with antioxidants and help to balance blood sugar levels.
We love it as a breakfast shake, post-workout shake, or as a high protein snack in the afternoon.
HERE’S WHY WE LOVE THESE INGREDIENTS:
Maca Powder – Adding this adaptogen root powder gives this smoothie a superfood boost, while adding a mildly nutty flavor.
Unsweetened Cacao Powder – Using cacao powder will give this smoothie an antioxidant boost. Cocoa powder can also be used.
Nut Butter – We love adding a nut butter to my smoothie because it adds healthy fats to help keep you full, but also a little creaminess. Our favorite for this recipe is Almond Butter, but peanut butter or cashew butter would also work well
Protein powder – If you’re looking for a little protein boost, add a serving of your favorite powder.
