A protein shake – or smoothies as some people like to call them – can be as basic or as complicated as you want. We like to be adventurous here and find recipes that are, well, maybe not the first thing you would think of.
Many people, most in fact, spice up their basic protein shake. Most shakes come in multiple flavors: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc. But that can get boring. So take some time to spice it up. We will have more recipes coming soon.

Today’s Protein Shake Recipe: Apple Pie Shake
Today we want to show you the Apple Pie Shake. Because the holidays are coming up. (Sooner than we might want!) And apple pie is likely to be one of your desserts. So why not create a protein shake that tastes just like Grandma’s Old Fashioned Apple Pie. Okay, maybe we are stretching it. (Sorry Grandma) Here it is:
