It’s well-accepted in health and fitness circles that protein shakes are one of the best ways to get the necessary nutrition to lose weight and even gain muscle. In this article, you’ll find out some of the best tips and tricks to super-charge the nutritional properties of your protein shake recipes!

Listen, I know you don’t need to be lectured about why protein shakes are good for you. Instead, I’m just going to jump right into the “hacks” I’ve got planned for you!

Hack #1: Use frozen vegetables in your shakes instead of ice

That’s right! If you use frozen vegetables — I recommend brocolli, califlour, and carrots — then you’ll not only add two or more servings of vegetables to your shakes, but you also won’t notice the difference in taste. Frozen vegetables generally have the exact same taste and texture as ice!

Hack #2: Use sugar-free jell-o pudding mix

If you want to make your shakes sweeter and thicker, but without piling on tons of extra calories, then toss in half or all of a pack of sugar-free jell-o pudding mix.

Hack #3: Grind up whole foods, like oats

Want to get some super nutrition in your shake? Grind up whole foods, like oats. The texture is delicious and most people are surprised to find out that these items work just fine in shakes.

Hack #4: Use pasteurized egg whites or whole eggs instead of water

Pasteurized egg whites pose absolutely no threat to your health, and the threat from raw whole eggs is negligible. Using these items instead of water will make your shakes thick, creamy, and absolutely amazing.
