22 gram Protein Shake Recipe (per serving)
As the chief caretaker of my home and family, I am always concerned about what my husband and kids are eating and was trying to find out wholesome, protein rich meals. Like my health mix powder, cottage cheese pancakes.
Specially I want everyone to start their breakfast with a high protein dish. Because breakfast is one meal which also happens to be the most important meal of the day. So it should be as nutritious as possible.

Everyone is talking about protein these days, so here's a breakfast that makes it easy! This wholesome recipe packs 22g of protein per serving, along with healthy fats and plenty of fibre to keep you full and energized for hours.
It's simple, delicious, balanced, and perfect for busy mornings. If you're looking for a high-protein breakfast that doesn't compromise on taste, this one is definitely worth trying!
Coming from South India, my husband and kids prefer idli, dosa all the time. So it was hard for me to make them switch to smoothies and shake.
But guess what, when I made this smoothie, they loved it and it is now a staple in my home. We have this at least 2 to 3 times a week for breakfast.

Dinner is not a problem at all. I can make this protein pasta or grilled chicken to achieve my protein goal.
Breakfast is the problem, since we need a back up from our omelette. Not anymore, this smoothie is a life saver. The cool thing about this recipe is, it is customisable. You can use regular milk, soy milk or almond milk.
And choose best quality unsweetened natural peanut butter for best taste and nutrition. You can skip the dates and use maple syrup or honey instead.
Ingredients
- Milk - I used unflavoured unsweetened soy milk in this recipe. You can use regular milk also. 1 cup of soy milk or regular milk has 8 grams of protein.
- Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt is high in protein and is a great add on to the smoothie.
- Peanut Butter - Always use natural unsweetened peanut butter for the smoothie. this is a good source of protein. 2 tablespoon of peanut butter has 8 grams of protein which is perfect.
- Frozen Banana - You should not add too much banana in the smoothie. Half a banana is perfect for one cup of smoothie.
- Dates - Even though this is optional. it adds to the sweetness. I used medjool dates as sweetener. You can skip this entirely or use honey or maple syrup instead.
- Chia Seeds - chia helps thickening the smoothie also adds fibre and protein.
- Vanilla Extract - purely for flavour but highly recommend adding it.
Step by Step Pictures
1)Take frozen banana, medjool dates, chia seed in a blender. Instead of banana, you can use frozen avocados.
2)Add in peanut butter and greek yogurt.
3)Add a splash of vanilla extract. Even though this is optional, I highly recommend adding a splash of it.
4)I like to blend these together. Blend them till Medjool dates and frozen banana is blended well.
5)Now pour in half of the soy milk or regular milk.
6)Blend until combined and smooth.
7)Now pour remaining milk and blend till creamy. This way all the ingredients like frozen banana and dates blend evenly.
8)Now it is all blended. Else you may feel small bits and pieces here and there. If you have a powerful blender you can do all this in one go.
9)Pour the smoothie into serving cup. Look how thick and creamy it looks.
10)Serve immediately.
