Meal Replacement Shakes

Meal Replacement Shakes are part of the 24 day challenge.  The Plus Plan (the original plan with some optional add-ons) includes the shakes for all 24 days.  The original plan only includes them for the MAX phase (Days 11-24).

As far as protein shakes go, these are the best formulated and best tasting protein shakes on the market.  Each one has a perfect balance of 24 grams protein and 24 grams carbs.  The protein is pre-digested, which means your body's metabolism is ramped up within 20 minutes of drinking the shake (vs. up to an hour an a half with a normal breakfast).  They are convienent, quick and on-the-go and gets your day off to a great nutrional start.

They can be made in the blender, with a mixing wand, or shaken up in a shaker. All you need is 9 oz of water to mix them up. 

I have been drinking these shakes every single morning for about 6 months and here is the best way that I have found to mix them up.

• Get yourself a blender bottle like the one pictured to the right.  The wire ball helps mix up the powder and break up the clumps.  You can get one for about $5.50 on my website.  Just go to www.AdvocareForAll.com and click on Shop Now, then click on Accessories.  I also recently saw them at my local grocery store in the health foods section, but they $8 instead of $5.50.  I bet any vitamin shoppe or GNC type of store would also carry them.
• Start with 9 oz of water (any temp) in the bottle (wire ball at the bottom).
• Add your shake powder.
• Add a few ice cubes on top.
• Put the lid on and shake until you no longer see any clumps (usually about 20 seconds).
• Open the top and drink through a straw (I don't know why the straw makes it so much better, but it just does).
• Enjoy!
