Whirl shakes in a blender with a banana or a handful of berries for extra nutrition.
Designed originally as meal substitutes for dieters or nutritional supplements for athletes, soya and protein shakes are a fast way to add vegetarian protein to any diet. They’re usually based on whey, egg, or soya protein, and can provide a concentrated source of nutrition. But they also tend to be high in sugar and low in fibre, so moderation is required.
Soya and protein shakes come in a variety of flavours, including chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and others. Many natural varieties use less sugar, colours, and flavours, and often contain added fibre. Shakes may come in powdered form, or in cans or bottles, usually in single servings.
Use soya and protein shakes instead of coffee and Danish for a fast breakfast. Whirl shakes in a blender with a banana or a handful of berries for extra nutrition.
