Frozen Berry Protein Shake

Here's a simple protein shake I've been making lately as a treat after a hard home-gym workout.

In a blender, add:

• 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (available in frozen food section of the supermarket)
• 2 scoops protein powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• lowfat milk to make a total of 2 cups of stuff in the blender (about 1 1/2 cups)

Blend until smooth. Drink.

I highly recommend using a protein blend(with casein) such as Met-Rx Protein Plus instead of a pure whey protein. This has nothing to do with the nutritional benefits of casein vs. whey - its simply that casein (but not whey) adds body to the shake, making it much more thick and smooth. Personally I 've also found that the Met-Rx protein is far less likely to give me gas than whey.
