Shake Recipes
The same old flavour and texture can get old pretty quick. It’s not that bad after a week or so, but at first it can be difficult. I’ve played around with different things and this is what I’ve found to work.
Snickers Shake
- Chocolate protein shake.
- Peanut butter.
- Diet Caramel ice cream topping or sugar free caramel sauce.
Mix them all up, the peanut butter is best if it’s smooth and not natural (the saltiness helps) and drink. It tastes like a Snickers!
Cherry Ripe
- Chocolate protein powder.
- Strawberry/cherry jelly or berry juice or cranberry drink.
Again, just mix it up and it’ll taste like cherry ripe. Play with the quantities and type of berry/cherry additive.

I’ve been looking everywhere, and maybe I’m just blind, though, I’m curious to see what actual serving sizes of each thing go into each shake..
Like how much protein,fish oil, fiber goes into each shake, if you could help me out, would be amazing, thanks!

Serving size really depends on the calories that you’re allowed. So first is your protein from the protein powder and serving sizes and amount of protein vary from brand to brand.
Next is your flax allowance and a serving size for flax is generally 2 Tbsp (21g).
Lastly you make up to 25g of fibre with either flax or psyllium depending on how many calories you have left. Flax contains fat (good fat) so it’s more calorie dense.
For me 1400 calories works out to 8.5 serves (250g) of protein powder, 2 serves (42g) of flax seed, 2 serves (14g) of psyllium and a service (1Tbsp) of peanut butter.
It basically comes down to working out how much you need of things and breaking it into shakes that suit you. Maybe you want your flax spread out during the day maybe you like it in the morning, peanut butter should be at night but the rest is pretty flexible.
