How to Make a vanilla-almond instant breakfast protein shake

This quick and easy vanilla almond protein shake takes just minutes to make and is healthy and delicious. I use vanilla whey protein mix that is sugar-free or sweetened with a natural sweetener like stevia.Regularly eating a healthy breakfast has been linked to a healthy weight. Don't skip breakfast, keep a can of vanilla whey protein mix in the pantry and there's no excuse not to make a quick, healthy nutritious breakfast. Using almond butter means you're getting all of the heart healthy benefits of almonds magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
