Protein Shake Recipe
Since I keep getting requests for this recipe I'm posting it here.
I usually have a protein shake in the morning and one more solid food item, like museli with milk. That's for long rides. For 1-30 miles the shake should be enough. Also I started with whey protein but now I use egg white protein powder. You can get it at whole foods.
Vary the recipe for the shake whenever you feel like a change. For instance, sometimes I get fresh mint and add it in for a flavor boost.
Or if it's too thick I use less coconut milk and add more soy milk. For men, I'm changing the soy to almond milk instead. Almonds are very good for men because they contain Boron, which is good for the prostate.

AND last but not least I sometimes add super green food powder from Trader Joe's or Maca Powder from Whole Foods if I'm feeling run down.
Protein Shake Recipe
1/2 cup coconut milk (unflavored kind only sold at whole foods)
1/2 cup almond milk
1 banana sliced
handful of blueberries
handful of strawberries
1 tsp plain greek yogurt (can use any yogurt just not the fat free)
1 scoop protein powder
chopped mint (optional)
1 tsp maca powder (optional for energy) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maca
1 scoop super green powder (optional)
1/4 cup orange juice (optional, makes it more tangy and less thick)
Enjoy!!
