My Favorite Shake Recipes

I must admit I am a total chocolate lover. Hands down straight up Dutch Chocolate Formula 1 Healthy Meal is my favorite basic shake. I was a total coffee lover a year ago and even though I am more of an herbal tea person now I still love the taste of coffee so Cafe Latte Formula 1 is delicious too. Now I have taken it a step further because what I haven't told you is that Mocha is a serious weakness of mine!! I mixed 1 scoop of the Dutch Chocolate and 1 scoop of the Cafe Latte with non-fat milk and.......... WOWSER!!  It was a harmonious experience to say the least!! The thought that staying healthy could taste this good still blows my mind to this day! Now on another note, I know that Spring and Summer are just around the corner so it's time to get out the blender again because it is soon to be Smoothie Season!!!!! Smoothies are a delicious and nutritious way to cool down when the swelter of summer is at full peak.  As a healthy meal with up to 21 vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients including fiber and 9 grams of protein, a cool and refreshing Herbalife smoothie is just the beverage to have in hand while relaxing in the shade. I know that the amount of quality protein in your diet is the single most important calorie that influences your metabolic rate, favorably influencing weight loss and even weight maintenance.  Quality protein also helps you sustain muscle during weight loss, improve muscle fitness, immunity, and antioxidant function. This is why I like to add Personalized Protein Powder to my shakes and smoothies boosting me up to as much as 30 grams of essential protein with the help of non-fat milk or soy milk.  Here are a couple recipes I love:
