3 Healthy Protein Shake Recipes that Taste Like Dessert

Fall semester starts today! So in addition to working 40-50 hours a week, Ill be taking 6 credits in the evening on Monday and Tuesday. As nerdy as it may sound, Im definitely excited for my classes.

With the excitement of school also comes the stress. A busier schedule means less open windows for exercising and more temptation to swing by Taco Bell for dinner. I can already see how it would be super easy for me to start packing the pounds back on. Oh Taco Bell, how I yearn to hear the sweet ring of your greasy chime. 

 Heres the thing: Im not going to let a busy schedule justify gaining weight. I know that my schedule is stressful as it is; if I gain weight Ill become even more stressed. Thats not a cycle that I need to start by skipping workouts and eating fast food. I know that stopping to grab food quickly is a temporary solution to a temporary problem, but that temporary solution will cause big trouble later on down the road. So I need to go into my week with a game plan. Luckily, this isnt my first rodeo with dieting as a full-time worker/part-time student.

When I was on the HCG Diet, I wrote about how Triumph Slim helped me stick to protocol when I was gone from 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. during Spring semester. Months after wrapping up Phase 2, that hasnt changed too much. I use Triumph Slim Monday through Fridays for lunch, and now that I have class on Mondays and Tuesdays, it will also be my dinner. The great thing about having Triumph Slim for dinner, its like dessert... that I dont feel guilty about. 

Because Ill be using a protein shake as a meal replacement so regularly, its important that they taste good so I dont get tired of drinking them.

Here are three recipes I LOVE. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Heaven - Tastes like a chocolate peanut butter banana split, seriously.

2 scoops Chocolate Triumph Slim

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 banana

1 cup spinach
Handful ice
8 oz water

Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. You may want to add more water or ice depending on your person preference for texture. This shakes is meant to replace a full meal. It has around 460 calories & 23 grams protein.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake - Tastes like the cereal

2 scoops Vanilla Triumph Slim

1 frozen banana
1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tablespoons peanut butter
Handful ice
8 oz water

Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust water and ice to taste. This shake should be accompanied by a serving of veggies to replace a full, well-balanced meal. Its about 460 calories & 23 grams protein

Berry Almond Delight - Tastes like berry ice cream

2 scoops Vanilla Triumph Slim

1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
Small handful of sliced almonds
Handful of ice
8 oz water

Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust water and ice to taste. This shake should be accompanied by a serving of veggies to replace a full meal. Its about 280 calories & 20 grams protein. 

All of these recipes help me stay on track to eating healthy, and they satisfy my cravings for cheat food because they taste almost too good to be true. While these recipes arent approved for Phase 2 of the HCG Diet, they are perfect for Phase 3.
