Orange Protein Shake

This bright, citrusy orange protein shake is pure sunshine in a glass. It’s refreshing, lightly creamy, and naturally energising—perfect for mornings when you want something quick but nourishing, or as a post-workout option that doesn’t feel heavy. The fresh orange flavour feels clean and vibrant, while the subtle nuttiness from walnuts and flaxseed adds depth and satisfaction without overpowering the citrus.

What makes this shake special is its balance: fast-digesting energy from fruit, sustained fuel from healthy fats, and a solid protein boost to keep you full and focused. Using whole orange (including a little peel) brings an intense, zesty aroma and a nutritional edge you won’t get from juice alone. It’s simple, refreshing, and functional—exactly the kind of everyday recipe that supports real life and real energy needs.
