A few months ago my husband got hooked on these protein shakes at the Equinox gym. He had to have one after every workout. But at $10 a shake I decided I would recreate it, so he could make it at home.

Every morning without fail I hear the Vitamix whirring away. He cannot get enough of it and says he has dreams of swimming in a big vat of it. Kinda like my dream of a red wine bath.

Saul says it keeps him going till lunchtime. If you want a dairy-free option, you could use soy or almond milk.

Time to shake it up!!!
