Hi all! So, lately I’ve been trying to eat healthier and exercise more. I haven’t been exercising as much as I should, but I have started to eat better. It’s hard for my to find something quick and nutritious in the morning, though.
Luckily, I received samples of the Arbonne Essentials® Vanilla Protein Shake Mix ($77, Arbonne.com) and have been making shakes in the morning. It provides 20g of vegan protein to help support muscles, plus more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals per serving. Clinically tested and certified to have a low glycemic index, which has little effect on blood sugar levels and does not cause a spike in blood sugar.
I have been using the recipes below to add variety to my breakfasts. I’ve tried the first two, but not the third one yet (I need to pick up some ingredients for it. And I’ve made them without the Arbonne Daily Fiber Boost because I don’t have it.
Recovery Support Shake
- 2 scoops of Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Shake Mix
- 1 scoop of Arbonne Essentials Daily Fiber Boost
- ½ cup almond milk
- ½ cup of fruit (banana, pineapple or mango)
- 9 oz. of water or ice as desired
Almond Butter Shake
- 2 scoops Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Shake Mix
- 1 scoop of Arbonne Essentials Daily Fiber Boost
- 7 oz. water or rice/almond milk
- 4–6 ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon natural almond butter
- ½ fresh or frozen banana
Hearty Boosted Protein Shake
- 2 scoops of Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Shake Mix
- 1 scoop of Arbonne Essentials Daily Fiber Boost
- ½ cup of almond milk or rice milk
- 1 tablespoon of nuts (healthy fats)
- ¼ cup of frozen berries (for carbohydrates)
- ½ cup to 1 cup of frozen spinach or kale
- 9 oz. water or ice as desired
I really like the taste of the vanilla powder, which is the one I have. I made the first shake with fresh mango and love it. I want to try it with banana next.
I found out by trying the second shade that I’m not a fan of almond butter (but I love almonds)! I am going to try this with a little bit of natural peanut butter next. I think it will be good.
I will be trying the third shake this week. I think it sounds good and different from the other two.
I would recommend this protein shake mix because it tastes good and keeps me full all morning. It is pretty pricey, but it’s great quality! I want to try the chocolate shake mix next.
Have you tried any Arbonne nutrition products? Which are your favorites?
