Low carbohydrate diets can help you to lose weight by reducing the amount of sugars your body must process. Often the body turns sugars into fat. These sugars are found not only in sweets but also in starchy foods and some dairy products. Shakes that are low carb in nature are low in sugar and usually high in protein. This combination can not only help you to lose weight but also can aid in building muscle.
Peanut Butter Shake
Combine the following ingredients in a blender: 2 cups of ice, 2 tbsp. smooth peanut butter, 1/2 cup water, one scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tbsp. sugar-free chocolate syrup. Blend well on high speed to crush the ice. This recipe makes two 10-oz. shakes, is low in carbohydrates and has a good supply of protein from the powder and the peanut butter.
Cinnamon Vanilla Shake
Add together two scoops of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon, 3 tsp. of artificial sweetener and 2 cups of ice. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute to make two 8- to 10-oz. glasses of this shake. You can vary this recipe by using a different extract such as almond rather than vanilla.
Coffee Shake
This low carbohydrate shake is great for coffee lovers. Mix two scoops of vanilla protein powder, 1 1/2 tbsp. heavy cream, 1 cup of water, two cups of ice and 3 tbsp. sugar-free coffee-flavored syrup. Blend for at least 1 minute on high speed. You can change this recipe by adding other sugar-free flavored syrups, such as caramel or Irish cream.
