I read an article online recently touting the many benefits of adding seeds to your pre or post workout nutrition, and thought it would be a great addition to our chocolate protein shake recipe! Seeds are very user friendly and can be added to virtually anything. Flaxseed in particular is packed with Omega-3 oils and contains 10 times the amount of most fish oil capsules!

Which Well Wisdom whey protein should I use in my protein shake?- Vital Whey Vanilla all natural vanilla flavor.

Special Instructions
To minimize potential damage to the fragile protein components, please take the following into consideration if using a blender:- Avoid highly acidic fruits or juices (citrus, pineapple, kefir, etc). To best maintain the native proteins within Well Wisdom’s Proserum, our whey is not subjected to any acid treatment during manufacture, and we recommend avoiding acidic ingredients when consuming our products.
- Avoid adding whey to any HOT liquids. Again, Proserum is minimally processed and it is best to avoid adding any additional heat with your smoothie.
- For least amount of agitation, it is best to add all other ingredients in your smoothie and blend them first. Add whey protein at the end, and blend for a few seconds to ensure a smooth mix.

Hi,
Quick question regarding the scoops per shake. Here it says “1 scoop” for 20 grams. I recently purchased ImmunoPro and the serving size is 1 scoop = 5 grams. Should I put 4 scoops in the recipe to make 20? That seems obvious, I know, but since I’m new to this, I don’t want to take too much. Thanks for your help!
