Alaya F's protein shake recovery drink recipe
Alaya F posted the ‘100% AF tried and tested’ recipe on Instagram with the caption, “What if I told you that you could turn your protein shake into a superfood-packed, energy-boosting, nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory recovery drink?” The actor further revealed that she had been using the ingredients mentioned in the recipe for her protein shake for ‘almost 3 years’. “It's super filling, it helps me consume a lot of nutrients and superfoods all at once, and it gives me so much energy,” she added.
Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients Alaya used and their calories:
• Protein powder (1 scoop): 150 kcal
• Almond milk (half a glass): 15 kcal
• Blueberries (7 pieces): 5 kcal
• Half a banana: 53 kcal
• Walnuts (5 pieces): 33 kcal
• Almonds (5 pieces): 35 kcal
• Peanut butter (1 tsp): 32 kcal
• Flaxseed powder (1 tsp): 12 kcal
• Chia seeds (1 tsp soaked): 12 kcal
Alaya also shared important things to remember while making her protein shake recipe. She suggested that her followers properly ground the flax seeds to make their texture more like powder and use unsweetened almond milk because it has low calories and a creamy flavour. She added that the total calories of the ingredients used in the shake was 340. “For comparison, two slices of avocado toast with no toppings is 480 calories). I use this shake as a meal substitute. Instead of snacking, I have this protein shake because it’s super filling and very healthy and helps me get my daily requirements in,” she explained.
