Clean Eat Recipe :: Bedtime Builder

The first time I had Whitney try a casein shake with water she hated it!  Casein is very thick so most people don't like it.  Try this version, we think it tastes like a milkshake!

Casein will slowly release amino acids to your muscles while whey will provide a quick shot of amino acids to your muscles.  Therefore, casein is beneficial to take before bed because it will provide your muscles with a steady stream of amino acids while you sleep.  You can also add flax to get a serving of healthy fat & fiber.  Make sure you choose a clean protein powder!

Ingredients:

• 4 oz liquid egg whites (pasteurized carton)
• Unsweetened almond milk (we use Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla)
• 1/2 scoop Casein
• 1/4 scoop Whey
• Flax (optional)

Directions:

1. Add egg whites to a Blender Bottle (or a similar shaker bottle).

2. Add unsweetened almond milk until it hits 8-10 oz.

3. Add casein & whey protein powder (add in optional flax and/or water if it is too thick).

4. Mix together (you will have to shake for a minute or two) & enjoy!
