There is one secret to getting my husband to eat anything.
Add coconut.
It has inspired many a recipe change or new creation (like my Vanilla Coconut Protein Pancakes). This month’s recipe, however, wasn’t inspired for him to drink. I just think his love of coconut is growing on me. That and you can only drink chocolate protein powder and PB2 shakes so many times.
My Coconut Cream Pie Shake combines whey and soy to give you a balanced post workout option. It makes 2 servings so you have one for today and one for tomorrow when you’re really in a hurry.
