So how was your protein intake from last week’s blog? Are you getting enough or too much maybe? As promised though, here is my protein shake recipe that I use to boost my protein if it’s looking a bit on the low side.
Coco Loco Protein Shake
1/4 cup 40UP – Collagen Protein Powder*
¼ cup coconut cream (cream or milk)
½ cup coconut water (or filtered water)
½ tsp vanilla extract
(optional sweetener 1 TBS honey – my protein powder is already quite sweet, so I didn’t need any more.)
Method
Add ingredients to a blender whiz and enjoy.
(If you don’t have access to a blender you could just shake it up in a sealed jar.)
Total protein: 26g
Here is a little list of some of my other recipes that are protein primed as well:-
That’s what I love about this type of cooking, not only does it taste amazing, but it’s also full of good fats and protein and all the healthy things that make us feel fantastic.
Yummo!

2024 Update:
Since originally writing this post, I am no longer vegetarian, and in my now pro metabolic diet I eat dairy again for its amazing protein and calcium content. So, I could use that instead of coconut cream to boost the protein a little more.
The protein powder I use now is a specially formulated combination of whey protein and Peptan Collagen in a product called 40UP – Collagen Protein Powder.

I’ve found my ultimate health and weight loss diet following Dr Ray Peat and have simplified how I do it in my book the ZEN Beach Diet which is available for download worldwide for under AU$10.
