If you are serious about achieving optimal performance in the gym then you are probably already drinking XBrain’s Micellar Casein supplements. Although these come in a choice of delicious flavours, chances are you are getting a bit bored of drinking the same protein shake day in and day out. Below are some ideas on how to add even more variety and extra nutrition to your protein shakes.

Remember that XBrain’s micellar casein and whey protein supplements are unique in the industry in being clear of refined sugar or artificial sweeteners. You don’t want to negate this by adding these nasty substances to your protein shakes. The recipes below rely on natural fruit to sweeten them. 

By using almond or walnut milk your shakes are consistent with a paleo diet. Of course you can substitute grass-fed cow milk if you are not trying to avoid dairy, or even soya milk.
