The wait is over! We have got you the 3 most delicious Weight Watchers Protein Shake Recipes that will help keep your weight in check. We know protein is a vital part of our diet, but sometimes it brings unwanted fat into our bodies. This is never a good indication if you are trying to manage your weight.
That’s where the low-calorie protein shakes come into play. They provide enough protein content to your diet, so you don’t feel the urge to eat too often, which can help prevent overeating. And the best part, each smoothie has significantly lower calories and fat content. All you need is a good blender for protein shake recipes and a couple of minutes of your time.
Let’s introduce you to the stars of the show!
Blueberry Vanilla Protein Shake
First in the line is the Blueberry protein shake. You won’t believe how refreshing it is on a sunny day when you feel absolutely parched. Yes! You know what I am talking about. This one will blow you away right after your first sip. Plus, all the ingredients are easy to find in your freezer or pantry.
Total time: 4 minutes
Serving: 1 person
TOTAL CALORIES: 252, PROTEIN: 27 gm, FAT: 4.5 gm, CARBOHYDRATE: 26 gm.
Ingredients
1/2 cup of fresh/frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of milk
1 scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder
Water and ice to blend (optional)
Instructions
- Put all the dry ingredients first in the blender along with protein powder. If you want to save some time, no need to pre cut fruits. The first few bursts of action on the blender will chop everything anyway.
- Now pour the milk. We used 1% low-fat milk in this recipe but can also use fat-free milk to lower the calorie count.
- Blend everything for a minute or so. In this stage, you can add water and ice to your preference. Just be careful of pouring too much water into the mix.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Shake
Next, we have the peanut butter chocolate protein shake. Who doesn’t like peanut butter? I certainly do. The more interesting thing is the combination of cocoa powder and banana yields a delicious shake that is hard to beat.
Total time: 5 minutes
Serving: 1 person
TOTAL CALORIES: 262, PROTEIN: 32 gm, FAT: 6 gm, CARBOHYDRATE: 29 gm.
Ingredients
1/2 Tsp of unsalted peanut butter
1/2 fresh/frozen banana
1 scoop of protein powder
1/2 cup of almond milk
1 Tsp of cocoa powder (low sugar)
Water and ice to bled (optional)
Instructions
- When working with fresh bananas, it’s best to move quickly to avoid oxidation. Throw in a banana, protein powder, peanut butter, and milk. If your protein powder has a chocolate flavor in it, skip the cocoa powder.
- Turn on your trusty blender and give it a couple of pushes. Then let it rip for about 40 seconds with some ice. One thing to remember is cutting ingredients into pieces takes a lot of stress from the old blender.
- After blending, see if the mixture needs more water to meet your consistency. When you are ready, serve it with a few of your favorite toppings.
Vanilla Tea Protein Shake
We saved the best one for the last, the Vanilla Tea protein shake. It’s rich in antioxidants, light, and overall low in calories. This shake is too easy to make when you have leftover tea on the counter. Also, there’s a lot of ways to spice it up with other ingredients.
Total time: 6 minutes
Serving: 1 person
TOTAL CALORIES: 213, PROTEIN: 22 gm, FAT: 5 gm, CARBOHYDRATE: 20 gm.
Ingredients
1 cup of chilled brewed tea
1 scoop of protein powder
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 tsp of cinnamon (grounded)
1/2 tsp of unsalted almond butter
A couple of ice
Instructions
- Brew a fresh cup of tea and let it cool down. In the meantime, add milk, protein powder, ground cinnamon, and butter to the blender. Then add the tea. Remember, the tea should be at room temperature.
- Blend everything thoroughly for 20-30 sec. If you want to give it a slushy look, drop some ice cubes before blending. There are no fruits to cut, so the blending won’t take too long.
- Now serve it in a mug or bottle on the go. If you like the shake, you can make it in bulk and drink it later throughout the day.
FAQ on Weight Watchers Protein Shake Recipes
Are Weight Watchers protein shakes good for weight loss?
Weight Watchers shakes are usually low in calories and fat. And the increased protein helps to lower food cravings and burn fat more effectively. One thing to remember, you still need to do some exercise to help the overall process.
Can you save protein shake in the freezer for later use?
That depends on what the ingredients are in your shake. If you use a banana, the taste will change after a couple of hours because of the oxidization. Here, it’s best to pour all the leftovers on an ice tray and freeze them into ice cubes. That way, you can blend it again to make protein slushy.
