33 Healthy Protein Shakes Recipes For FAST Weight Loss

Here are my favorite healthy protein shakes recipes for weight loss. These recipes have helped me to lose 56 pounds in just a few months.  

33 Healthy Protein Shakes Recipes For FAST Weight Loss

People keep asking me to share my recipes with them so they can achieve the same success.  In this post I’ll also share exactly what you need to do to lose the weight at the same rate that I did.

Can you actually lose weight with protein shakes?

Yes, but not with traditional protein shakes.

Why Most Protein Shakes Don’t Help You Lose Weight

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

The problem with most protein shakes is that they are made with synthetic powder that provides protein, but no other micronutrients.

When your body is starved of nutrients, it will still continue to send signals to you that you are hungry until you feel it the nutrients it needs.

The other reason you will struggle to lose weight with regular protein shakes is because they are just not filling enough.

Protein shakes typically aren’t complete meals, so you’ll get a boost of calories, but a couple of hours later you’ll be hungry again and will be tempted to reach for foods that satisfy your cravings rather than healthy food choices.

Watch the video below where I make my all natural vegan 2 Ingredient Homemade Protein Powder that you can add to your protein smoothies.

How To Lose Weight With Protein Shakes

A much healthier and effective approach to losing weight with protein shakes is to base your protein shakes on whole foods and make them a complete meal.

I have hundreds of these healthy meal replacement whole foods protein shakes on my website.  I call them Green Thickies because they are thick and green.

Green Thickies contain all of the nutrients you need for great health each day.

How Many Protein Shakes Should I Drink Each Day For Weight Loss

All you need to do is replace your breakfast and lunch with one of these meal replacement protein shakes below.

Then, just make yourself a healthy dinner which is around 400-600 calories and you’ll see the weight consistently falling off.

To find out the exact amount of calories your body needs each day to lose weight, check out my weight loss calorie calculator.

From there you’ll be able to work out how many calories your body needs each day and find dinners that are low in calories and contain ingredients that don’t cause your weight loss to stall.

To save you the trouble of calculating your own calories, I have created a meal plan to help you drop up to 1 dress size this week.

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
