Power Packed Shake….. Jo Abbott style
Most days of the week I am up at 0530 hours to begin prepping my day based on sleep quality and heart rate variability (HRV) readiness. Firstly, animals get fed and watered, dog walk, and then I either hit the PhD or open my clinic. Often, I am fasting and prefer to eat a ketogenic diet for health and wellbeing. Generally, I like to complete my specific movement training exercises in the afternoon. Therefore, my lunchtime meal needs to be nutrient dense, promote satiety, prep me for a HIIT session, and be enjoyable to consume.
The ingredients list is for making up to 600ml’s – 1 Serving. I like a big long drink – if you prefer smaller and/or thicker shakes then halve the milk quantity.
Equipment
- Shaker bottle or blender
Ingredients
- 500ml unsweetened almond milk roasted – Alpro
- 1 scoop organic MCT powder – Nutiva

- 12ml vanilla ZinZino EFA oil
- 1tsp organic maca powder
- 5 grams inulin
- 10 grams glycine
- 30 grams vanilla isopure protein powder
- 20 drops of your choice of flavouring – I love Foodie Flavours, there’s a huge choice!
Optional add-ons:
- 1 tsp bee pollen (local)
- 5 grams mushroom mix – I tend to break open the capsules and empty contents in to the shake.
Methodology
- Put all ingredients in shaker/mixer and blend, add ice cubes if you like your shakes nice and cold.
