As promised we have got some more new weight loss recipes for you. I found them really delicious and satisfying as compared to those old days’ protein shakes that are just zero in taste.
All these recipes are packed with the lots of antioxidants and all that nutrients that aid in weight loss. We have highlighted the role of coffee in all these 7 shakes.
You might be thinking why. Then give me some time to explain to you all in detail.
Various studies and researches have shown the significant effect of coffee to burn fat more rapidly. Those studies have also noted that caffeine helps to boost metabolism that simply means burning more calories within less time.
A cup of coffee you took in the morning can do wonders if taken properly. However, if you load it with that artificial flavor, extra cream and sugar then let me tell you, you are doing such an injustice with yourself.
Another way out to have your coffee in a more delicious and healthy way is to take it along with your daily protein shake. It will not only enhance your metabolism but will also provide you an extra flavor in that old boring protein shake. The protein you took will provide you satiety and coffee is enough to fuel up your metabolism.

You can add low-fat milk, soy milk or any other variant to make it creamier and tastier as per your taste. But don’t forget it should be free from sugar and low in fat content.
2. Banana iced coffee protein shake
Bananas are one of the best energy boosters if you are going to do high-intensity workout today. A single banana can provide you enough energy for 90 minutes of your gym session.

They are an ideal cereal for all the diabetic and heart patients and are just amazing if you are looking forward to shredding those extra kilos.
