Liquid nutrition hack
When appetite or nausea is bad, liquids go down easier. Don't fight it—work with it.
Why this works
GLP-1 side effects like nausea and early satiety make solid food tough. This smoothie delivers dense nutrition in a format your body tolerates.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop whey or casein protein powder (20-25g protein)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk (30-40 cal)
- 1/2 cup frozen berries (optional, for flavor)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter (90 cal, 4g protein)
- Ice cubes (for texture without volume)
Directions
- Add protein powder + milk to blender.
- Add nut butter + berries (if using).
- Blend until smooth.
- Add ice if you want it thicker.
- Drink immediately.
Variations
- Pure protein version: Skip berries and nut butter. Just protein + water/milk.
- Calorie boost: Add 1 tbsp coconut oil or MCT oil.
- Electrolytes: Add a pinch of salt (tastes better than you think, helps hydration).
Protein powder hacks
Whey absorbs fast (good post-workout or morning). Casein is slower (better before bed or for nausea).
