Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.
Protein shakes are a good option for a healthy snack or meal replacement on the go. You can use your favorite protein drink mixes and then add goodies to make it your own. I use Nutrisystem Chocolate NutriCrush or Chocolate TurboShake mix. My favorite combination is a chocolate protein drink mix, a frozen banana, 2 TBS raw almonds, 1/2 cup of ice and 1 cup of water. I call this my chunky monkey shake.
Here are a few more protein drink recipes for you to try~
Chocolate Coconut Smoothie
1 Nutrisystem Chocolate TurboShake
½ medium banana, frozen
½ cup ice
1 cup plain, unsweetened almond milk
¼ tsp. coconut extract
Mint Chocolate Smoothie
1 Nutrisystem Chocolate TurboShake
¼ tsp. mint extract
1/2 cup kale
1 cup water (add more as needed)
½ cup ice cubes
Red, White And Blueberry Smoothie
1 package Nutrisystem Smooth Vanilla Protein Drink (or TurboShake!)
1/2 cup of strawberries
1/2 cup of blueberries
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of ice
Pineapple Mango Smoothie
1 pkg Nutrisystem Vanilla Protein Drink Mix (or Vanilla TurboShake!)
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 cup of water
Sometimes, I need the convenience of a smoothie but don’t feel like having a cold beverage. For these times, I heat my protein drink mix. I add two cups of water to my protein drink mix and slowly warm them in a saucepan. If desired, you can add spices or extracts to make this a truly special drink. I like adding crushed red pepper to my hot chocolate protein drink. My mom adds all- spice to her hot vanilla protein drink.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
