Interested in creating your own recipe? Follow our 6-step process to creating a nutrient packed Super Shake:


STEP 1- Pick a liquid

  • Water

  • Almond milk (unsweetened)

  • Cow’s milk

  • Soy milk (unsweetened)

  • Hemp milk (unsweetened)

  • Iced green tea

  • Less liquid = thick shakes. More liquid = thin shakes.


  • Aim for 4-8 oz per serving.


STEP 2- Pick a protein powder

  • Whey protein

  • Casein protein

  • Pea protein

  • Rice protein

  • Hemp protein

  • Other proteins or protein blends

  • Some protein powders contain thickeners, which will increase the thickness of your shake. Find the protein supplement that you like best.


  • Aim for 1 scoop per serving (20-25 g protein).


STEP 3- Pick a veggie

  • Dark leafy greens: Spinach / Swiss chard / kale

  • Pumpkin / sweet potato

  • Beets / beet greens

  • Cucumber / celery

  • Powdered greens supplement

  • Spinach is usually your best bet, as it is virtually flavorless in your shake. Canned pumpkin is great too. It goes well with vanilla. When using beets, try roasting them and removing the skin first. Beets pair well with chocolate. If you add celery or cucumber, you’ll need to use less liquid in your shake.
