More Information about this Homemade Shake:
Okay, so this recipe doesn't use 'real' almonds, but rather almond extract
(or almond essence) instead. however, don't let the recipe stop you from trying
real almonds. You can buy whole almonds and throw them in to the blender. I find
that if the almonds still have their skin it adds more grittiness to the shake
and would recommend buying almonds without the skin or sliced almonds, or better
yet for 'mixability', powdered ground almond.
The advantage of using real almonds is that you are adding another protein
source to your shakes. In fact, almonds are probably the best type of nuts for
bodybuilders to eat because, when compared to other nuts, they are lower in fat
and higher in protein.
Don't forget to use fresh strawberries if you can - they will give you more
energy, vitamins, nutrients and are better tasting.
