Make Your Own HEALTHY Protein Shake

As you may know I try and eat a natural whole food diet, and for me this means leaving out energy drinks, and protein powders. I believe that the list of chemicals and sweeteners in most of these products causes untold and unknown damage to our bodies that far outweighs their benefit. For years I used protein powders and shakes, as well as isotonic drinks, but now I understand nutrition better I am able to support my body's needs with natural, tasty and healthy foods. Here is a great post-workout "protein" shake.

350ml Organic Raw Milk
2 Tablespoon of Full Fat Natural Yoghurt
2/3 Free Range Organic Egg Yokes
1 Tablespoon Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Organic Dessicated Coconut (Optional as some people don't like the bits in their teeth!)
Fruit to taste - e.g. Organic banana, strawberry, blueberry.

Blend all of the ingredients together and serve cold. It makes about a pint depending on how much fruit you use. It is tasty, healthy and will help you to recover post workout, enabling your muscles to grow and develop properly.
