Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred fuel source. Once you deplete glycogen (sugar) storage, the body will use fat for energy. At this point the body is in fat-burn mode! For more on ketosis, check out http://tinyurl.com/3m94xv
Keto Protein Shake:
Makes 1 – 20 oz. Shake
2 Green Tea Bags
4 oz Water (boiling)
16 0z Water
1 Tbls Coconut Oil
1 Scoop Protein Powder (plain/vanilla)
Pinch Himalayan Sea Salt
1/8 tsp Stevia (optional)
Directions:
- In a mug, brew green tea with 4 oz. boiling water. Only brew green tea for 60-90 seconds, otherwise it will become bitter…if you want to brew it longer and you like bitterness you aren’t going to hurt my feelings
- Add the salt, stevia, and coconut oil. Stir to combine/melt.
- In a 20+ oz protein shaker, add 16 oz. water and protein powder.
- Close lid. Shake. Enjoy
<Note: the coconut oil will eventually solidify, but it will be okay…actually it will be delicious>
Be well,
-Max
