Shakeology No-Bake High Protein Bars & Green Monster Smoothie
Shakeology no-bake High Protein Bars:
These high protein, high nutrition bars are great for snacks or an hour or two before your workout. They are no-bake because you don’t want to destroy the probiotics and enzymes in Shakeology.
2 cups cooking oats
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
2 scoops Chocolate Shakeology
2 scoops whey powder (vanilla or cookies and crème work best)
2 tbs flax seeds ground
2/3 cup water
1 tsp bee pollen
1 tsp cacao nibs (roasted cocoa bean pieces)
1 tsp honey
1 tsp chopped peanuts
Mix all ingredients together. Add a dash more water if needed and place in a wax lined pan. You can also spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top and sprinkle with chia seeds. Place in freezer for 30 minutes and cut.
The calorie count of each bar depends on how big you make your bar but each bar will be about 160 calories if you slice about 12 bars in the pan.
Shakeology Green Monster Smoothie
Green smoothies are delicious….. it’s just the idea and the color that make people hesitate. TRY IT before you ewww it! I promise that you will only taste the fruit!
1 Scoop greenberry or chocolate Shakeology
1 banana, roughly chopped
4 or 5 strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 small peach, peeled and roughly chopped
1 heaping cup (or more) fresh spinach leaves, thoroughly rinsed
splash vanilla soy milk
1 tbs Greek yogurt
1/2 cup crushed ice
Note: you can also substitute frozen fruit instead.
This is about 450 calories and 22g of protein…depending on what your “splash” of soy milk is.
Green Monster Smoothies taste so great even kids love them! Green Monster Smoothies are a great way to get kids and adults to eat their vegetables. You can also add Broccoli, Kale, Turnip Greens…and they won’t be able to taste them!
