High Protein Lavender Breakfast Shake

If you’ve been looking for a delicious way to add more protein to your day, this Lavender Protein Shake is one of my newest favorites.

It has a light floral flavor, a creamy vanilla base, and tastes like something you’d order at a cozy café.

Lately I’ve been making an effort to increase my protein intake, especially at breakfast.

Since I’m not usually very hungry first thing in the morning, protein shakes have become one of the easiest ways to start my day.

This lavender version feels like a little treat while still helping me reach my protein goals.

I also love that it’s easy to customize by adding collagen peptides or creatine for an extra nutritional boost without changing the flavor.

Collagen peptides blend right into this smoothie without changing the flavor. I often add a scoop for an extra protein boost and an easy way to increase my daily protein intake. This is the collagen I love.
