Healthy Cheap Protein Smoothie Costco Style

Found a cheap way to make tremendously healthy, delicious smoothies which don't break the bank account. Went to Costco and picked up EAS whey protein and 2 bags of Radar farms mixed berries (blueberries, marionberries and raspberries).

Went to local store and picked up a bunch of ripe bananas, which I peeled and froze. Blend 1/2 cup berries and 1.5 scoops protein powder with 1/2 the frozen banana and a delicious high protein smoothie which is the perfect texture.

Here is a basic breakdown of the cost and ingredients. You can change the amount of protein, add milk or yogurt, use more berries or a whole banana depending on your preference for extra protein or carbs.

TOTAL COST (est. 30-70 smoothies)
Protein 6lbs $30
2 bags Berries $20
Bananas (store) $3

Cost Per smoothie around $1.00

Optional Yogurt or Milk

Total: 295 Calories, 40 Grams Protein, 26 grams Carb, and 3.5 grams fat

Best Protein Supplement Muscle Building Supplements

Protein is very important as everybody knows, but how important nobody knows. After thoroughly researching protein supplements on PUBmed and other sources I could not find any concrete evidence which gave exact requirements and recommendations with references.

From my experience I think protein is essential to supplement in the active diet. The best protein supplement for me is EAS myoplex in the form of powder. Even though it is a meal replacement and messy it has more than enough protein and plenty of vitamins, minerals and extras to be the best muscle building supplement to a healthy diet.

I made sure that on my page about the best protein supplement I only talked about protein as a supplement to real food rather than a meal replacement. I think the average person will do better with solely protein because it is lower in calories than meal replacements and I assume they will be eating excess calories.

To me the best protein supplement is a blend of multiple form of whey which is most importantly easily mixable. To me taste means nothing, but I'm sure to most people it means everything. The best protein supplement must taste good which fortunately most products today do.

The best muscle building supplement is also the best protein supplement. That is a statement which many people will probably argue, but I believe eating a healthy diet along with multivitamin and supplementing with the best protein supplement will help avoid the high calorie saturated fat which accompanies most meats.
