Easy High Protein Shake Ideas to Help Hit Those Protein Goals

Have you ever found yourself wondering how on earth you’re supposed to hit 100 grams of protein a day—without eating grilled chicken on repeat? 🙃 You’re not alone … I am right there with you! We keep hearing about the importance of getting at least 20 grams of protein per meal, and while it sounds doable in theory, it can be a little trickier in real life. That’s where these high protein shake recipes have become my go-to secret weapon.

Today, I’m sharing two of my favorite high protein shake recipes that pack 40 grams of protein or more. They’re easy to make, super satisfying, and give you a tasty energy boost whether you’re kicking off your day or recovering post-workout.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Shake/Smoothie (My Favorite!)

Creamy, sweet, and packed with flavor—this one tastes like a dessert!

Here’s what I toss into my blender:

• 8 oz water
• Ice (as much as you’d like)
• 1 scoop Activated You (optional)
• 1 scoop Alaya Multi Collagen Powder – Unflavored (optional)
• 1 scoop Love Sweat Fitness Peanut Butter Plant Protein (my FAVORITE!)
• ½ scoop Chocolate Slim Fast High Protein Smoothie Mix
• 4–5 frozen banana slices
• ¾ cup frozen strawberries
• ½ cup Old Fashioned Oats (optional — adds thickness + fiber)
• Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional, but I love it!)

Fruit-Powered Protein Shake/Smoothie

Refreshing, fruity, and packed with vitamins and fiber, this smoothie is perfect when you want something lighter but still protein-rich.

Blend together:

• 8 oz water or half water, half unsweetened almond milk
• 1–2 handfuls of spinach
• 1 scoop Activated You (optional)
• 1 scoop Alaya Multi Collagen Powder – Unflavored (optional)
• 1 scoop Ascent Vanilla Bean Protein Powder
• ½ scoop Vanilla Bean Slim Fast High Protein Smoothie Mix

• ¾–1 cup frozen fruit of your choice:
  (Some of my faves: strawberries, mixed berries, mango, pineapple, raspberries, or even pomegranate seeds!)

Blender Tip:

I use the Ninja Smoothie Blender and it works like a dream—smooth, creamy deliciousness every time. But you use whatever blender works best for you! Here are a few to check out!

Final Sips:

These high protein shake recipes are super flexible — switch up your frozen fruits, add a different protein powder, or toss in extras like flaxseed, chia seeds, or Greek yogurt. The goal is to keep it fun and flavorful while packing in that protein!
