The Ultimate Protein Shake

This shake is a favorite on the LifeCafe® menu. Make it for yourself at home with this recipe.

Three glasses of protein shakes

Blend up this LifeCafe shake in your own kitchen for a nourishing meal replacement or as postworkout fuel. The shake starts with a base of protein, which will help keep you satiated and energized. From there, mix-and-match the other ingredients to customize it to your desired taste. If you prefer a smoothie-like texture, subtract 2 to 3 ounces of liquid and add in 1 to 2 ounces of full-fat yogurt instead.

Swap quinoa for the millet in this salad, which gets its kick from a Thai peanut sauce.
