One of the main things that I survive off during my liquids only days and one of the things that I make when I’m in a hurry is protein shakes. I love you can make them in hundreds of different flavors and with all kinds of ingredients.
Today I want to share how I create my basic protein shake and share a new product that I’m very excited about that I used to create this shake:
Tillamook Light Yogurt
Tillamook Light Yogurt is made with Truvia a natural calorie free sweetener. Making this yogurt low in calories and high in flavor.
You know I’m a huge greek yogurt eater, but with only 110 calories and 7 grams of protein Tillamook’s new yogurt is amazing! And it is much easier to feed to my boys who are known to turn up their noses to the strong taste of greek yogurt unless it is filled with sugar to cover the flavor.
Pomegranate & Black Berry Protein Shake
Ingredients
- 1 Â Tillamook Light Pomegranate & Blackberry Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 scoop Protein Powder
- Crushed Ice
Directions
- Add milk
Yes I realize I added too much milk afterwards, oops
- Add protein powder
I used Designer Protein Natural but think Vanillawould be awesome! (
- Add Ice
- Blend with blender or hand blender till smooth
Tip: Fully immerse the hand blender before turning on. This is the one I have: Cuisinart Immersion Hand Blender
- Pour into a nice cup!
- And enjoy!

More Ingredients Ideas
This is just a very basic recipe, but you can make amazing shakes with just a few changes to your ingredients. Here is just a few ideas of other things you can add to your shake to change the flavor or add more nutrition:
- Greens (Arugula, cilantro, lettuce, spinach, etc)
- Fruits (fresh or frozen, just not too much)
- Flavored Sugar Free Syrups
- Sugar Free Pudding Mix (Pistachio is my favorite)
- Sugar Free Jello Mix
- Nut Butter (Peanut, almond, sunflower, just not too much)
Sounds like something I would enjoy. Nice.
I usually just like to add bananas, strawberries, yogurt and blueberries but not too many. I like my shakes to be a certain color…lol
Pepper you photos are so good. Just love the one of you sipping the shake, you are too stinkin’ cute! (and I mean that in the best way possible)

Yummy post! I think I might try this, sounds so good. Great idea to make it a fruit smoothie, but plain sounds so good too! 🙂
looks really good. I’ve never tried greek yougurt but I have heard good things. Everybody I know likes it. Instead of using protein pwder, I think I’ll make it with my nutritional shake mix. Thanks for the idea.
I love shake so much.. And this menu seems to be a healthy one for everyone, knowing that it has my favorite yogurt, I will definitely try this.. Thank you for sharing…
I would like to try that shake.looks really yummy!
I have never tried the yogurt in my shakes. I use 1 banana, some blueberries, milk, and a protein powder in a french vanilla flavor or strawberry which is kinda nice with the blueberries as it adds the strawberry flavor.
Cool! Where do I buy it?
