Low Carb Protein Powder

Sometimes I am just too busy to sit down and eat a meal…or at least find something healthy enough to eat!!

I LOVE protein shakes but I am very picky about my protein that I use. I hate the aftertaste of most protein powders so I have tried a lot but only like a few.

Here are some of the protein powders I have come to enjoy that are low carb, less sugars, and a decent amount of protein:

Clean Simple Eats

Clean Simple Eats - Coconut Cream - I LOVE this flavor. Slight coconut taste and not too sweet. You can add anything to this flavor without it tasting too weird.

Nutritional Facts per serving (one scoop):

• 100 calories

• Total NET Carbs: .5g

  • 5g carbs

  • .5g fiber

  • 4g sugar alcohol

• 20g protein

Clean Simple Eats - Vanilla

Nutritional Facts per serving (one scoop):

• 110 calories

• Total NET Carbs: 3g

  • 9g carbs

  • 1g fiber

  • 5g sugar alcohol

• 20g protein

Keto Chow

Keto Chow - Chocolate - I LOVE Keto Chow. They are not super sweet and have a nice subtle flavor. You can never go wrong with chocolate! Add some peanut butter powder (see below) for a little extra kick to the flavor.

Nutritional Facts per serving (one scoop):

• 133 calories

• Total NET Carbs: 2g

  • 9g carbs

  • 7g fiber

• 27g protein

Keto Chow - Snickerdoodle - This is probably my favorite flavor. Who doesn’t love a good snickerdoodle!?!

Nutritional Facts per serving (one scoop):

• 125 calories

• Total NET Carbs: 1g

  • 8g carbs

  • 7g fiber

• 26g protein
  
  

  NOTE: With Keto Chow they recommend you add a fat of your choice such as heavy cream or butter as well as water or milk. This will change the nutritional facts. I like to use almond milk instead of water and a splash of heavy cream.

Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder

I like to add a pumpkin seed protein powder like this one to my other protein powder to help up my protein intake!! It mixes in so well and adds just a slight nutty taste to it.

Nutritional Facts per serving (two scoops):

• 90 calories

• Total NET Carbs: 0g

  • 4g carbs

  • 4g fiber

• 15g protein

PB Fit Peanut Powder

I am always looking for ways to add more protein and more flavor. This PB Fit Peanut Powder works great to add to any protein shake.

Nutritional Facts per serving (2 tablespoons):

• 70 calories

• Total NET Carbs: 3g

  • 5g carbs

  • 2g fiber

• 9g protein

Hemp Protein Powder

Hemp Protein Powder is another great option for adding more protein to your protein shakes. Also, Hemp Seeds are chocked full of Omegas and so much more vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional Facts per serving (4 tablespoons):

• 120 calories

• Total NET Carbs: 1g

  • 7g carbs

  • 6g fiber

• 15g protein

How to make protein shakes

There are so many different ways people like to make their protein shakes. This is how I make mine:

Equipment

Immersion Blender

Other ingredients

Low carb milk - Almond Milk, Fairlife Milk (1/2 the amount of carbs then regular milk)

Water

To Assemble

1. Add liquid (milk or water) to large cup.

2. Add protein powder.

3. Add any extras (PB Fit powder, Hemp Powder, Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder). NOTE: I do not recommend adding them ALL to the same protein shake!

   • You can add in some fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries too.

4. If you like your protein shake to be a little thicker, add some ice.

5. Use your immerision blender (or regular blender) to blender everything together until smooth.

ENJOY!!
