Is there anyone who doesn’t want to speed up their metabolism? Even if you’re not trying to lose weight, a speedy metabolism is extremely beneficial, as it can help regulate energy levels and other systems within our bodies.
The foods we eat impact our metabolisms – sugary foods slow it down, and healthier foods can speed it up. And we found a recipe for an extremely healthy high-protein shake that you should drink every day if you’re interested in boosting your metabolism.
The best part about this shake is that it doesn’t even taste like it’s healthy. It is made with chocolate and peanut butter, which makes it taste almost like a milkshake.
But don’t be fooled! This recipe is actually loaded with protein and fiber, which makes it a great way to boost metabolism.
The high-protein chocolate peanut butter smoothie only requires seven ingredients, and none of them are protein powder. All of the protein in this recipe comes from natural sources, making it even easier for your body to digest.
Not to mention the fact that it only takes five minutes to make!
According to Minimalist Baker, who wrote the recipe, a serving contains 20 grams of protein! This is a really high amount - nearly a third of the daily recommended intake.
Eating enough protein can not only boost your metabolism, but it can also help strengthen muscles, reduce appetite and increase fat burning.
