My wife is someone who makes protein/nutrition shakes each morning when she gets up and recently I ve jumped on board, too. The great thing about it is you can really make them however the heck you want. I ve been using chocolate protein and mixing in almond butter, almond milk, spinach, strawberries, blueberries, carrots and whatever other produce I can find rolling around in the fridge.
