I love my blender! It can make meal times very exciting. Well some times. Other times it can be a disaster, but those recipes don’t end up here!

And when it comes to quick and easy nutrition, it is hard to go past throwing a few ingredients into a blender and churning it for 60 seconds.

Here’s the recipe for the Ultimate Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Bomb.

• 1 Cup Water
• 3/4 Cup Chocolate Protein Powder
• 1/2 Cup Blueberries
• 1 Tbsp Cacao Nibs
• 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter
• 1 Tbsp Peanut Oil

Chuck it all in the blender and give it a blast for about 60 seconds. You might want to give it a few ‘pulses’ at the end to make sure the nibs are fully mixed in.

The above recipe would be perfect for most guys, and you’d almost get two serves for the girls. I will work out the numbers on it and post them ASAP.

Let me know what you think.

First up put the cashews and the water/green tea into a blender and give it up to 60 seconds of blend time. You don’t really want any chunks of cashew in your drink so it’s best to do a little more if you are unsure. Once you have given that a god thrashing, throw in the blueberries and protein powder and blend until its all mixed, but nice and thick as well.

Should take you all of two minutes to make, drink and clean up. No more “I don’t have time to eat well excuses” my friend!

Let me know what you think.

You can never eat too many blueberries. Well maybe you can, but I don’t think anyone has yet.

But you can eat too much cheesecake. And I’m sure plenty of people have!

So what’s the alternative? I want to have my cake and eat it too!!

Enter the Blueberry Cheesecake Pudding courtesy of Allie from Pimp My Protein Shake.

It’s blueberry, it’s cheesecake (minus the fattening crumbled biscuit base), it delicious and it’s good for you. What more could you want?

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup vanilla whey powder
• 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen works best for thickness and cost)
• 1 oz. lowfat cream cheese
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (depending on your protein powder)

Allie has an order of adding the ingredients and blending, but true to my style of keeping it simple, I like to chuck it all in the food processor and just blend it until it’s all mixed together. Choose your own path here!

It will only need a few hits of about 30 seconds in the food processor, checking that its all mixed in and you don’t have pockets of ingredients that haven’t joined the party.

If you want to thicken it a bit more, throw it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes while you clean up and it will be perfect.

Depending on the actual ingredients you use, you will be getting about 35 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and 12 grams of carbs.

Yum yum, enjoy.

All of the recipes I post here are generally the result of some trial and error. As you probably know by now, my number one rule when it comes to eating food is that it has to taste good. Gone are the days of holding your nose and dry reaching in an effort to eat well. Say no to bad tasting food and say yes to this next recipe!

Raspberry Blender Bomb

Ingredients

• 200ml almond milk
• 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
• 1/4 cup whole walnuts
• 1/4 cup banana protein powder

Now this is where it gets tricky. You have to put all of the ingredients into a blender and blast it for 30-60 seconds.

Maybe it’s not that tricky after all, so that means there are no excuses for not eating well.

It will come out like a raspberry sorbet, but if you leave it for a few minutes (or use thawed/fresh raspberries) it will be a great tropical drink.

This blender bomb is perfect as a snack between meals, or even as a desert. You are getting a nice hit of protein, good carbs, good fats, fibre and a heap of other nutrients.
