High protein, nutrient rich, and dairy-free…

Losing weight just got easier and tastier!

Cool down post workout with this

delicious muscle building powerhouse!

As a follow-up to my recent piece – The Yenny Express 5-Exercise Total Body Workout, I offer here a nice combination of protein and dry oats, which is a super pre or post work out choice. You can also use it as a meal replacement, since it supplies plenty of the protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber your body needs to get you through your busy day.

As part of your workout/diet routine, the Oatmeal and Protein Shake (perfect) will help you:

And it gets even better! This grain - oatmeal/dry oats - contains certain soluble fibers which various studies have shown can actually:

In addition to Vitamin E and number of B vitamins, oats supply 9 minerals, including iron and calcium; as well as Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid in the omega-6 family. GLA supports the body’s all-important anti-inflammatory activities.

Protein (supplied by a high quality powder supplement) is an important component of every cell in the body. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues… muscles, bones, enzymes, skin, blood, etc. This is obviously especially important for athletes who put such high demands on their bodies.

This shake covers all the bases, making it a delicious, healthy treat you can enjoy all year round.

A few years ago while training and dieting for competitions I tried a lot of combinations of natural ingredients to satisfy my sweet tooth, and my desire for a cold, thick dessert-like drink.

And now I share with you, the result of all that trial and error!

Here it is:

Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Pour and enjoy. Don’t drink too fast.

You’ll want to savor the deliciousness!

Don’t worry! Just because it tastes like you’ve thrown a month of clean eating out the window with the tastiest ice cream shake you’ve ever had, you can relax. After all – you know it contains only the good stuff!

*I like the somewhat “grainy” texture of the shake, but if you prefer a smoother feel,

you can certainly strain it if you wish.

And there you have it! The perfect oatmeal and protein shake to cool you down, feed your cells, a

nd keep you fit inside out!

All the best!
