It Tastes Like a Cookie Protein Shake (Click link for more great ideas from Claudia)
Protein shakes are easy to make. Once you get going, it’s fun to explore new recipes and ideas.

In a blender:
1 scoop Lifetime Vanilla plant protein
2 TBLS. Thai Coconut milk
2 teas. Barlean’s Pina Colada Fish oil
8 oz. Purified water

Any protein powder can be used, just visit your local health food store to get a quality one. Lifetime plant protein is delicious, has a creamy texture and is soy, dairy, egg and gluten free, for those of you that may be sensitive to those foods. It is vegan as well.
Other milk alternatives you might try are almond milk or hemp milk. Add in some fresh or frozen berries (organic of course!) and you can even put a little almond butter, walnut butter or sunflower butter for added creaminess and good taste! Remember your good oils; there are many to choose from…hemp, flax, coconut, safflower, and sesame are just a few to mention. Just make sure they are nature-made and not man-made. Have a little flax, chia or hemp as well? Throw it in there for some wonderful food fiber
