How fun and summery is this drink!? Even if it is not summery where you are, I am in Florida where we have summer all the time. So make this drink and pretend like we are sipping a protein lemonade out by the beach.
What You Need
For this recipe, you really only need two ingredients: a Premier Protein protein shake and a small packet of Crystal Light lemonade mix. Of course, some ice as well but I am sure you already have that one.
I used Premier Protein for this lemonade because that it what my InstaCart driver brought me; however, you can use any vanilla flavored protein shake that you prefer. In addition, I used a Crystal Light lemonade; however, if there is another one out there that you prefer, try that. Someone suggested True Lemonade because it does not have aspartame. That does not bother me and I have never tried that other lemonade but you can make your own choice.
While you can make this protein shale without protein powder, you can make it with protein powder. All you will need is protein powder, lemonade and some liquid. Substitute the protein shake for 1.33 cups of water or plain, unsweetened almond milk and use two scoops of vanilla protein powder.
How to Make This Shake
To make this protein lemonade, you really just need to blend those two ingredients together with a cup of ice. Add more of less ice depending on how thick you like it but I kept it pretty thin.
If doing the protein powder and water method, just do the same thing by blending everything together.
More Protein Shakes
If you love this shake but want something a little different, I have tons and tons of flavor suggestions.
- Chocolate peanut butter protein milkshake - I make this one every single morning
- Protein mocha Frappuccino - like a copycat Starbucks version but with protein
- Peppermint mocha milkshake - for the winter holidays
Those all use protein powder!
