Creamsicle Protein Shake

creamsicle protein shake

Protein shakes are great supplements to aid in both muscle growth and muscle recovery alike. This Creamsicle Protein Shake is no exception! It is comprised of Vanilla Whey protein and Orange BCAA and is flat out delicious!

WHEY PROTEIN

Whey protein is digested and absorbed quickly into the body so it gives you that POW of energy! It reaches the muscles quicker than Casein (click here to read about Casein and get shake recipe) so it helps you to build muscle faster and also aids in muscle recovery immediately following a workout.

BCAA

BCAA stands for branch chain amino acid. Without getting all technical, BCAA’s basically aid in providing energy to the muscles during a workout and then also help your muscles recover post workout. (Click here to read more about BCAA)

SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHIGGY SHAKE SHAKE!!

My dream team shake combines both Vanilla Whey and Orange BCAA to make a delicious creamsicle flavor that I could drink all day. However, I only make this shake on days when I am working out. I drink about 1/2 of the shake during the workout and then the remaining 1/2 right after I am finished. It gives me energy, keeps me hydrated and pumps my muscles with the right amino acids to help me recover. (that along with stretching!)

NINJA BLENDER

You can stir this shake manually BUT I prefer to use my beloved Ninja Blender (click here to buy on Amazon). This blender comes with individual shake cups so you can easily make a single serving shake and then drink it right out of the cup! So convenient and easy and you don’t get chunks of protein in your mouth.

WHERE TO BUY

I buy the Muscle Milk Vanilla whey protein at Costco, however they don’t sell it online. It costs 44.99 regularly at Costco but I suggest waiting until it goes on sale and then stock up! The price goes down to somewhere around $36.99 so its a huge savings. They do sell it on Amazon but it is much more expensive (click here to see on Amazon).

I buy the Optimum Nutrition Orange BCAA on Amazon (click here to buy BCAA on amazon) and love it! I will usually buy 2-4 at a time and just keep them handy.

Watch my YouTube video below (or click here!) to see what other supplemental protein I buy and use!
