The ideal post-workout shake is this one. After a strenuous exercise session, this drink is full, tasty, and healthy. I’ve been drinking it every morning after my workout, which ends around 8 a.m., and I feel satisfied until 11:30 a.m.

Ingredients
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon flax seed meal
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (Optional)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- Layer protein powder, flax meal, cocoa powder, and brown sugar in a blender. Add almond milk, frozen berries, banana, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
- I use a Nutri-Bullet as it’s a perfect size and it works really well, but any blender will do.
- Use low-fat milk for a thicker shake.

Good tasting but high calories. I workout mid morning so this becomes my lunch. Also it would be great if Allrecipes added barcodes so we could pull nutrition stats into our diet apps.
Very good. I used chia seed instead of flaxseed and added a cup of raw spinich. Can’t taste the spinich. 10/10
Great after my evening workout. I left out the cacao powder and peanut butter. I added chia seeds and kept it simple with frozen bananas, almond milk, green protein and milled flaxseed. It also satisfied my sweet tooth that normally hits me after the gym.
Really good and energizing! Instead of brown sugar and peanut butter, I put 1 tablespoon of maple syrup 🙂
This shake seemed to throw all but the kitchen sink in it…berries, peanut butter, AND cocoa. I don’t usually think of those three being in the SAME shake or smoothie, but this one tasted pretty good. I used a very small banana I happened to have in the freezer (had the intention of using just half a banana instead of the entire thing anyway) and stevia instead of the brown sugar.
