I tried Avocado in my protein shake for the first time this morning!
I was super skeptical about this and thought it would make it taste like dis..gust..ing -- plus I could get the same creamy consistency from greek yogurt, unfortunately all I had was blueberry flavored.... so the ripe avocado on my counter would have to do.
Well, after my workout this morning I went to make a shake - and I was all out of my favorite protein shake mix, but I had some ISOFlex Chocolate Mint in my pantry so I figured it would have to do as well- Plus its only 110 calories, 27 grams of Protein, NO sugar AND Aspartame-FREE!! .
The one and only reason why I am not a fan of ISOFlex is because it has a really thin consistency and if you try to blend it with ice it gets foamy on top... ICK!! I'm sure its great for those who just like to mix it with water or milk in a "blender ball" mixer. (If you are looking for a ready to go just add water and ice in the blender then I recommend Advocare Mocha or Chocolate because all you have to add is water and ice and it's like drinking a milkshake! However I do not recommend the vanilla or berry - the vanilla has a weird constancy and the berry as a artificial berry flavor)
Okay back to the avocado in the protein shake -
I recently joined DailyBurn (a workout video steaming and recipe site) and they had a recipe similar to this one so I figured I would give it a try! I was super pleased with this shake and will definitely be making this again!
Recipe:
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
Cocoa powder/CocoaVia - makes it super chocolaty
about a 1/4 of an avocado (Adds about 60 calories to the shake)
Water - (or milk if you are trying to gain weight)
3-4 cubes of ice
