A muscle-building postworkout shake
There's no simpler and more convenient mix than a shake made with a pasteurized egg substitute, flavored soy milk, and fruit, says Liz Applegate, Ph.D., R.D., a sports nutritionist at the University of California at Davis. Throw this stuff into a blender and you produce a 370-calorie shake with 25 grams of high-quality egg and soy protein, only 5 grams of fat, and plenty of healthy stuff like fiber, vitamin C, and other antioxidants. Plus it tastes good, and it's festively pink.
Ingredients
1 c ice cubes
3/4 c egg substitute, such as EggBeaters (found in the frozen-food section; use it partially thawed. Don't worry about cooking. Since it's pasteurized, it's okay to use right out of the carton.)
3/4 c vanilla soy milk (found in the dairy or health-food section)
1 c frozen strawberries
1/2 banana
1/2 c cranberry juice
Put it all into a blender with a tight lid. Blend on high for 30 seconds. Drink it out of the blender cup so you don't have to wash another glass.
