Base protein powder

2 scoops unflavored whey protein concentrate or isolate

1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides (optional, for texture and joint support)

Liquid

12 oz cold water

4 oz unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk (optional for creaminess)

Texture & mouthfeel

1/8 tsp instant xanthan gum (optional, for thickness and to reduce graininess)

1/2 tsp sunflower lecithin or soy lecithin (optional, improves blendability)

Electrolytes & micronutrients (optional)

1 pinch finely ground Himalayan or sea salt (for sodium)

1 pinch potassium chloride salt substitute (finely ground, optional)

Optional flavor/utility add-ins

2 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit concentrate (if slight sweetness is desired)

1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for a chocolate variant)

1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract (for subtle vanilla)

Equipment & serving

3 cubes ice (optional, for cold shake)

Method

Prepare equipment

Chill and measure

If you prefer a cold shake, place shaker or blender and serving glass in the fridge for 5–10 minutes or use ice when blending. Measure all powder and optional ingredients so they are ready.

Combine dry ingredients

In a small bowl or directly in the shaker cup, combine the 2 scoops unflavored whey protein and 1 optional scoop collagen peptides. If using xanthan gum and lecithin, sprinkle xanthan and add lecithin now so they disperse evenly with the powders. If adding salt or potassium chloride, add those pinches with the dry mix.

Add liquids and blend

Pour 12 oz cold water into the blender or shaker. If you prefer creamier mouthfeel, add 4 oz unsweetened almond or low-fat milk instead of part of the water (use 8 oz water + 4 oz milk or full 12 oz milk depending on desired richness).

If using liquid stevia/monk fruit, cocoa powder, or vanilla, add them now. Add ice cubes if you want a very cold, frothy shake.

Blend on high for 20–30 seconds (or vigorously shake the shaker cup for 30–45 seconds). If using a blender, scrape down the sides once and blend another 5–10 seconds to ensure full dispersion. The xanthan gum and lecithin will help eliminate grit and create a smooth texture.

Adjust and finish

Taste a small sip. If you want smoother texture, let the shake rest 1–2 minutes (xanthan will hydrate further). If you want sweeter, add an extra 1–2 drops of stevia or a pinch more salt to enhance flavor. If too thick, add 1–2 oz water and mix again; if too thin, add 0.5 scoop protein or a few more ice cubes and re-blend briefly.

Pour into serving glass if blended in a pitcher, or unlock shaker and enjoy immediately. Rinse blender/shaker promptly to prevent protein sticking.
