Recipe Ingredients
Unsweetened flax milk – A plant-based milk that’s low in calories and rich in nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids. It adds creaminess to the shake while keeping it low in calories and sugar, making it a great base for a WW-friendly drink. Substitute whichever nondairy or dairy milk you prefer and have available. I used soy milk this time since it’s what was in the fridge.
Blueberries, fresh or frozen – add natural sweetness and a burst of fresh flavor to the protein shake. They provide a healthy dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, which helps support overall health and keeps you feeling full longer. In this shake, they complement the other ingredients by balancing out the creaminess with their juicy texture and subtly tart taste. Blueberries also contribute to the vibrant color. Using frozen blueberries will result in a colder, thicker shake.
Rolled oats – Whole grain oats that are lightly processed to flatten the grains. They’re packed with fiber, which helps keep you full. Rolled oats add bulk to the shake, providing a satisfying texture while contributing to longer-lasting fullness. The fiber content helps with digestion and can aid in weight management. Use either old-fashioned or quick cooking oats. Avoid instant oats and steel cut oats since they won’t provide the best consistency.
Protein powder, vanilla or unflavored – A powdered supplement made from various protein sources like whey, soy, or pea protein. Protein powder boosts the protein content of the shake, helping to build and repair muscle, and keep you feeling full for longer. This makes it an ideal addition for those of us working to lose or maintain our weight.
Optional: Stevia, monk fruit or other sweetener to taste – If the protein powder is unsweetened or if you prefer a sweeter shake, these sweeteners can be added to enhance the flavor without adding calories. They help to satisfy sweet cravings while supporting weight loss goals. (I used a packet of Truvia)
