Taking off from my Tuna Burger recipe yesterday - I’m starting to explore new territory… Shakes!! I whipped up a quick shake this morning for breakfast.
Here’s what I put in it:
- Half green apple (cubed)
- Half slice pineapple (cubed)
- 1.5 scoops of Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein (Vanilla)
- Handful of Almonds (about 8 pieces)
- 2 tablespoons of Carman’s Muesli
- 1 glass iced Green Tea
- 5 ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Melrose Organic Wheatgrass powder
Blend in a blender for 30 seconds - and done!!
It actually tasted pretty awesome!
Unfortunately, I am unable to analyze and provide you with the nutritional breakdown cos I live in a home, not a laboratory, but I do know for sure that this shake is packed with high-quality protein, fiber, good fats, antioxidants and more - and will beat any so called ‘healthy shakes’ you can possibly buy from any juice kiosk here in Malaysia.
I’m still trying to find combinations that I prefer the most… so until then… hop on, and be prepared to go on a roller-coaster journey of TASTE with me! :)
P.S. - I don’t know what to call this shake! Anyone wanna help me name it? And honestly… I had no intention of making it match the theme colour of my blog… I swear!
Looking forward to your replies…

It looks delicious! It can’t be more than 130 - 150 calories from my guesstimation.
It looks good. You can call it…Green Magnitude!…wait..thats taken ;)
whoa! that’s a very nice colour!! :D hahhaa
hey keep all your recipes eh. can u put all these in a separate category?
btw, try adding wheatgerm too… like sprinkle on… and a dash of cinnamon or smth :P
I’d call it ‘The Incredible Hulk’ — not very original but then it just popped up because your shake is .. green :P
Uhhh.. how bout Mean Green?
Hey DM… Wanna be my personal chef?
the incredible hulk!
sfighter: Actually, I’d estimate it to be anywhere between 300 to 350 calories max:
180 cals from the 1.5 scoops of ON Whey Protein
56 cals from the almonds (1 almond is approx 7 cals)
25 - 30 cals from half green apple
Maybe 50 cals from the half slice pineapple
I’m curious how you came to 130 to 150? Tembak ah?
K.Chel: Haha.. yeah, taken already! It would have been perfect!
suN: Yeah, thanks for the tip.
Aizan: I would love to! First, find your pan, and see if you have a blender that you can also find. *grin*
Losernator: Nice… but The Hulk would suit something with more calories I think.
So far.. I’m liking Aizan’s suggestion for Mean Green!
That is hands down the most unique shake recipe I have ever seen. I must say that you have some creativity.
For a moment I thought it was Penang Road’s famous cendol. haha!
Looks like a cup of ‘Fresh’
shake with almonds and muesli? wouldn’t it taste weird? but the colour looks nice tho….=p
found a new recepi few days back…u might wanna give it a try…
Zero-Carb Bread…

i’ve not tried it personally, but those who’ve tried it say it tastes awesome !! Have fun trying. =)
- Ann -
Greg: Thank You! :) It takes a bit of adventuring to discover new things!
Jason: Hahahahhahah… its anything but cendol!!!
Jen: What’s that?
Ann: Interesting recipe… but seeing that its made of protein powder, and then pan-fried - I really don’t know, cos proteins start to get destroyed at the temperature of 60 degrees.
Made a mention of it (glass of Fresh) on my blog.
It’s a concoction recommended by Dr Oz :-)
just wondering with protein shakes, i knw technically the best time is to have it after workout, but i cant take the taste any longer..
wondering if wasting if i have it in a shake like this every morning instead..
have a glass of fresh.
Although thats mostly just carbs and no protein
Dailymuscle: proteins start to get destroyed at the temperature of 60 degrees?
Omg…thanks for info. xD
lotsofcravings : How is that get wasted? It’s agood idea to bump up ur protein intake for the day if you can’t get to get all proteins from real food. my 2 cents.
Oops yeah you’re right, I took it as 1 scoop and didn’t think about the almonds being high in cal. It’s still a good shake though!
lotsofcravings: I don’t think its a waste. By the way.. why can’t you stand the taste of your protein powder? Mind sharing with us which one you’re using? :)
Hey, sorry if I’m jumping in late but my suggestion is:
“The Big Green Monster”
Bill: That’s nice. Thanks for the suggestion.
