Protein shakes for losing weight

Lose weight with protein shakes: Replace one meal a day with a protein shake and you can easily lose 1 pound a day. If you replace lunch and dinner with a shake for a short time, you can even lose 2 pounds a day.

Protein shake recipes: Basic ingredients

Make your own protein shakes: Include one portion each of protein, carbohydrates and fat. In addition to classic protein powder, good sources of protein are low-fat quark, yogurt or cottage cheese. Oat flakes, wheat bran or bananas provide carbohydrates to fill you up. Some fat is necessary so that important nutrients such as vitamin C can be utilized by the body. Therefore, add 1 teaspoon of oil, cream or peanut butter. Add fruit and water, whey, skimmed or soy milk. Create your own favorite drink or try our variations (below).

No stress

The light dishes are not only low in calories, but also quick to make and ready in a maximum of 25 minutes. You can prepare most of the shakes in the morning and take them with you chilled, but you should enjoy the kiwi drink straight away. This quick diet adapts to your daily routine, not the other way around.
