Looking to get more variety into your diet, especially when it comes to protein?
Many people (including myself) often find themselves eating the same protein option every. single. day - eggs for breakfast and chicken or turkey for lunch. If this rings a bell, you're not alone! But, remember, it’s so important to get enough protein from a variety of high-quality sources, because it's essential for your body to function optimally! If you're needing a little extra help in this department, this Blueberry Power Protein Shake is a great solution!
With a whopping 37g of plant-based protein and 10g of healthy fats, this smoothie sure is an easy and convenient way to get a protein packed meal! The best part? It reminds me of a nutty blueberry granola bar, minus all the added sugars and artificial additives. This is my “go-to” recipe whenever I'm trying to get an extra boost of high-quality protein, and hopefully it can be yours too!
I make this shake with clean, whole food ingredients like 310 Salted Caramel, frozen blueberries, rolled oats, chia seeds, 310 Peanut Butter Powder, 310 Collagen, unsweetened almond milk, and ice (which is optional), to help satisfy your taste buds while also providing your body with the fuel it needs. Whether you need a quick breakfast, lunch on-the-go, or pre- or post-workout drink, this Blueberry Power Protein Shake is here to support you and your wellness goals!
Before we dive into the full recipe, let’s take a closer look at some of the ingredients and the health benefits they have to offer…
A Sweet Indulgence: 310 Salted Caramel Shake
I’m pretty much obsessed with anything and everything salted caramel flavored, so I had to use a scoop of 310 Salted Caramel Shake in this recipe. This meal replacement shake is the perfect combination of sweet and salty, and it always reminds me of a healthier version of caramel salt water taffy. But don’t worry, the sweetness of this shake comes from plant-based Stevia, so you can indulge without falling off track.
The shake powders also come in a variety of other yummy flavors as well, including Chocolate, Mocha, and Vanilla, just to name a few, so you can alter this recipe to suit your own personal tastes or mood for the day!
Plus, with 15g of protein and 5g of dietary fiber per serving, these shakes are very filling, and can help you meet your daily macro and micronutrient needs for a healthy diet. This is because each serving also contains 20 essential vitamins and minerals, immune-supporting probiotics, and a blend of superfood greens to create a well-balanced shake that can truly be used to replace a meal! Its truly the ultimate nutrient-packed addition to this Blueberry Power Protein Shake!
Fiber + Antioxidants: Blueberries
The next ingredient in this recipe is of course, blueberries! If your fresh berries are always going bad before you get to use them, I definitely recommend getting frozen berries! Not only do you not have to worry about them going bad, but they also add a thickness and creaminess factor to shakes. Not to mention, blueberries are a great for natural sweetness, and complement the flavors of 310 Salted Caramel Shake perfectly!
Blueberries are a source of vitamin C, additional antioxidants, and fiber. In fact, a cup of blueberries contains almost 4g of dietary fiber and 25% of the recommended daily value for vitamin C. It’s no wonder that blueberries are often called a superfruit!
The Most Abundant Protein In Your Body: Collagen
For even more protein and overall health benefits, I’ve included a scoop of 310 Collagen Powder! You may have heard of collagen, which has been rising in popularity, but what exactly is it?
Remember how I mentioned in the beginning of this article how important protein is to your body? Well, collagen is the most abundant protein you have! It provides the basic building blocks for bones, tendons, skin, hair, and nails, helping you look and feel your best as you age. However, you start to lose collagen more and more every year after your mid-to-late twenties, so it’s important to help replenish it…
310 Collagen is flavorless with 11g of protein per serving, making it easy to incorporate into all your shakes and smoothies to help replenish this essential protein in your body!
