Check out these two protein shakes I swear to live by. For you whey lovers, the jam packed strawberry shake will be a hit. But for those who prefer to stay away from whey or anything dairy, try the matcha shake (It's vegan friendly)! I indulged in the matcha shake almost every day during the #SixWithNix whole foods challenge with Nikki Korek.
For those struggling to get those calories in, throw in a tbsp or two of chia seeds.
Chia seeds are:
-
a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids
-
they are loaded with antioxidants
-
lower your risk of heart disease
​
Collagen you ask? If it ain't in the protein shake, I'm not having it. Some of you might know that powdered or liquid forms of Collagen usually don't taste the best; but if you throw it in your shakes, smoothies or even coffee, you won't taste it.
​
Collagen provides SOOO many health benefits such as:
-
Improves skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and increases skin moisture
-
Strengthens bones and prevents bone loss
-
Relief from joint pain
-
Boosts muscle mass
-
And yes ladies.. promotes hair building proteins and healthy nail growth
