Here’s a Life Shake makeover? A few of you reached out to share how much you love LIfe Shakes, and you only add water and shake it up.  While that is fine, you are missing out friend.  Blending your shakes is a whole other level and if you’re worried about drinking it later, rest assured it’ll still be good hours later if you store it in a Yeti or Stanley insulated container. This cookie recipe is DELICIOUS and nutritious - Yes, please!
