Hot Honey Coconut Protein Bites
Ingredients
½ cup clean Peanut Butter (no added oils or sugars)
¼ cup Hot Honey
½ cup Shredded Coconut
1 Scoop Vanilla Life Shake
Roll in shredded coconut for a tasty twist on protein. This is great for parties, snacks or dessert. Sneak protein anywhere you can! All my clients come to me lacking protein, but overly consuming carbs. Carbs aren’t the enemy, but protein isn’t either!

Overnight oats have so many benefits… great carb source that will fill you up rather than have you starving 2 hours later (like rice for example). It also can be Gluten Free and protein can be added without changing much add all. I like adding 3 TBSP Egg Whites or 1-2 scoops Life Shake for added protein so it’s a complete macro meal!

Ingredients:
½ cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup milk of your choice
¼ cup canned pumpkin puree
2 scoops of Salted Caramel LifeShake (or Vanilla and use caramel extract)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Opt toppings: chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds or a dollop of Greek yogurt
Directions:
In a mason jar, combine oats, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, LifeShake.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
Cover the jar with a lid & refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir and add your favorite toppings, such as chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Enjoy chilled, or you can warm it up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
In today's fast-paced world, finding a nutritious meal that fits with busy lifestyles can be challenging. Enter Life Shake, the perfect solution for those seeking convenience without compromising nutrition. Packed with a balanced blend of plant-based protein, healthy carbohydrates, and beneficial fats, Life Shake is designed to be your go-to meal replacement.
Complete Nutrition: Each serving of Life Shake contains 20 grams of protein, the minimum required for Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS). Those looking to maintain or build muscle, support weight loss, or simply enjoy a nourishing meal, this is your meal ticket, literally. And no artificial ingredients.
Balanced Macros: Life Shake doesn’t just stop at protein. With the right balance of carbs and fats, it provides sustained energy throughout the day and helps fuel you for a workout, or help you recover afterwards..
Easy to Prepare: No more complicated recipes or time-consuming meal prep. Just mix Life Shake with 1 cup water or your favorite milk alternative (I like SILK unsweetened almond milk), and you’ve got a delicious meal ready in seconds. It’s perfect for busy mornings, quick lunches, or nutritious snacks. I love to blend mine with a banana, 1 TBSP Nut butter (I usually use peanut butter) and 1 cup ice.
Versatile Flavor Options: Life Shake comes in a variety of flavors, all equally amazing. We have creamy vanilla to rich chocolate, to fruity strawberry.
Dietary-Friendly: Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply looking to reduce your intake of animal products, Life Shake fits seamlessly into your dietary preferences.
Incorporating Life Shake into our daily routine is convenient, helps us hit our Macros and is budget friendly. When my husband doesn’t grab a shake, he tends to spend $11-13 on breakfast at work. This is $4 blended or even less with just Almond Milk.
