This is the best protein shake ever! Seriously, you will think you are eating ice-cream. This is an over the top rewarding recovery shake to savor after a good work-out. It happens to be Raw-Vegan and Paleo approved.
Best Ever Strawberry Protein Recovery Shake

Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh coconut milk, thawed (Purchase in the frozen section of your Asian Supermarket) Or you can use 1 cup of almond milk or brown rice milk and 1 cup of coconut cream (I use the coconut cream in the tetra pack- it tastes much better than canned)
- 2 cups of strawberries, sliced and frozen works best or fruit of choice
- 1 banana, frozen in chunks or ¼ sections
- 1 scoop of Protein powder, vanilla or chocolate (I use a variety of good quality whey or egg white protein powders but my favorite Raw-Vegan plant protein powder is Sunwarrior).
- 1 egg, raw (optional)
- 1 Tbsp of raw honey (Vegans use a soft or soaked date with the pit removed)
- 2 cups of crushed ice (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the milks of choice into a high powered blender.
- Add the frozen strawberries or any other fruit you like.
- Add the frozen banana. (This sweetens the shake and gives it additional smoothness)
- Add the protein powder, egg if using and sweetener of choice.
- Blend everything up except the crushed ice.
- Once everything is blended well, decide if you want to add the crushed ice. This is a personal preference. Its a lot of ice but my kids love it this way. Its a little tough on the blender but a Vita Mix blender and the Blendtec blender seem to handle it. You decide.
- Pour it straight into a large cup and enjoy it slowly or you will get brain freeze!
