What to consider when making a protein shake
1. Texture: shakes are meant to be sippable, so aim for a base that’s light and smooth like protein-enriched milks, kefir, or even egg whites
2. Balance: pair sweet elements (like bananas or dates) with something creamy (like skyr or nut spread)
3. Convenience: use ingredients that blend quickly and don’t require much prep, perfect for busy mornings or after an active day

Protein smoothie ideas
What to consider when making a protein smoothie
1. Texture: smoothies are more spoonable by design, so frozen fruit, oats, or protein-rich dairy – like cottage cheese or Greek yoghurt – work well to build body
2. Blendability: even protein smoothies need a splash of liquid, add gradually until you have reached the perfect consistency
3. Toppings and texture: thicker smoothies can be loaded with protein-packed toppings like chia, hemp or sunflower seeds for added texture and flavour
