Shake Your Fats Off with Protein Shakes

High protein diets have become very popular, and for good reason. A study done in Michigan at the Rochester Center for Obesity Research found that participants who ate higher amounts of protein felt satisfied for most of the day and consumed fewer overall calories. Protein also provides the body with energy to perform its daily functions. The problem with getting a lot of protein in the diet is that usually it is found in high fat foods, such as meat and dairy. A great alternative to high fat, high protein foods is a protein shake made with egg whites. They pack a lot of protein, but without the yolk they leave out the added fat and cholesterol. With a few simple ingredients you can make your own high best protein shakes at home, and tailor them to your personal tastes.

Step 1
To the blender, add 1/3 cup of pasteurized egg whites, 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks, and 1/4 of the pineaple juice from the can. Blend for one minute.

Step 2
Stevia packets
To the blended mixture, add 1 packet of stevia powder. Stevia is an herbal sweetener, it is not a sugar substitute and will not raise insulin levels. Blend again for 30 seconds.

Step 3
Add 1 to 2 drops of coconut extract, and a dash of vanilla syrup. Blend once more for 30 seconds.

Step 4
Strawberry protein shakes
If you desire a different flavor protein shake, you may substitute any fruit you desire and omit the coconut extract. For example, to make strawberry egg white shakes use 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen strawberries and omit the coconut extract. You could add a dash of strawberry extract if desired, and 1/3 cup of water to thin the shake.This exchange can be done with any fruit.

Step 5
Chocolate protein shake
To make a chocolate whey protein shakes, add 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup in place of the fruit. This can be made with or without vanilla syrup. Experiment to see what you prefer.
