Strawberry Post-Workout Protein Shake

Published on September 28, 2018 • Last updated November 1, 2018 by Elizabeth

Packed full of protein and delicious flavour, this quick and easy post-workout protein shake is made with Onken 0% Fat Strawberry yogurt. In collaboration with Onken.

Strawberry Protein Shake Recipe

Protein shakes are a regular part of my diet. My morning routine consists of getting up (sometimes way too early!) and two cups of milky coffee while catching up on social media.

Then, I get the kids ready and off to school with their packed lunches and I do my morning workout – Tony Horton’s P90X3. It’s a workout program that really works well for me, keeping me feeling fit and strong as well as keeping the pounds from piling on from being a food blogger (so much good food combined with so much sitting and typing/editing/social media – the struggle is real!).

I always follow my morning workout with a protein shake. It helps maintain lean muscle mass, and it fills me up until lunch time.

Ingredients for a strawberry post workout protein shake

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS STRAWBERRY POST-WORKOUT PROTEIN SHAKE

  • Milk – use full fat if you want the extra calories, or skimmed if you’re wanting a lighter shake
  • Onken 0% Fat Strawberry yogurt (for probiotics, protein and flavour)
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream (for extra calories) or a handful of ice cubes
  • Unflavoured protein powder (these days I’m using Pulsin soya protein)
  • Flax seeds – for extra fibre
  • Fresh strawberries – for vitamins (or half a banana)

Serving a strawberry post-workout protein shake
Onken 0% Fat Strawberry Yogurt

My protein shakes are made with ice cubes instead of ice cream, and I usually add half a banana for extra creaminess and potassium. My husband’s, on the other hand, involves a generous scoop, or two, of vanilla ice cream for the extra calories.

We’re yogurt fans in our house; there’s always a tub (or several) in the fridge. Plain yogurt gets used in all sorts of sweet and savoury dishes, while flavoured yogurts, like this 0% Fat Strawberry from Onken, make for a lovely addition to a breakfast smoothie or post-workout protein shake.

Strawberry Protein Shake Recipe

This recipe is made in collaboration with Onken yogurt. They challenged me to come up with three different recipes that could be made from a single pot fo their 0% Fat Strawberry yogurt.

In addition to this rather scrummy strawberry post-workout protein shake recipe, I’ve made a delicious French-style yogurt cake as well as some oatmeal pancakes with a strawberry yogurt drizzle. Visit the Onken website and check out their recipes section for these recipes and many more!

Welcome to Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary, Scotland’s most northerly award-winning food blog.

I’m based in the wild and remote Shetland Islands, where I’ve been sharing my adventure-fuelling recipes since 2011.

As seen on Shetland: Scotland’s Wondrous Isles on Channel 5.

“Never underestimate the power of your own story. Life may have taken unexpected turns, but it’s never too late to weave new threads of adventure into your tapestry. Keep spinning those yarns, my friend.
