2-Minute High-Protein Meal Replacement Shake

easy2 min totalPrep: 2mCook: 0mServes: 1

This is not a snack — it's a full meal replacement. When there's no time and no prepped food, this shake covers protein, carbohydrates, and fat in a complete macros package. The oats and yoghurt give it body and satiety that a standard protein shake can't match.

Ingredients

  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla or unflavoured whey protein
  • 150g fat-free Greek yoghurt
  • 40g rolled oats
  • 1 medium banana
  • 150ml skimmed milk
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
  2. Blend for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.
  3. Drink immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Pro Tip

Pre-freeze bananas in zip-lock bags for a thicker, colder shake without needing ice. Keep a bag of frozen banana in the freezer specifically for this — it takes 2 seconds of extra effort on the day you freeze them.

Nutrition Notes

This shake combines three protein sources — whey, Greek yoghurt, and peanut butter — providing a mixture of fast and slow-digesting proteins. The oats provide slow-release carbohydrates that sustain energy for 3–4 hours, making this a functional meal replacement rather than just a protein top-up.
