The main advantage of such homemade protein shakes is that all the necessary micro elements are concentrated in them. According to the info I found in the article about the best protein shakes for women, Vitamin B, magnesium, iron and calcium are the most important for women’s bodies.

Vitamin B, especially if we are speaking about folic acid, speeds up metabolic processes and makes woman’s nervous system stronger. It’s easy to get by adding asparagus and legumes.

Magnesium should be added as the primary prevention for osteoporosis and it’s exceptionally good for work of a woman’s heart. The main concentration of magnesium can be found in bananas and nuts. Iron is a godsend for increasing the level of hemoglobin and is a good precaution against anemia.

Legumes and dried fruit have the highest index of iron content.

Calcium has a considerable influence on weight loss, on the strengthening of bones. It’s possible to get a lot of calcium in case you will use dairy products.

Now when you know what ingredients will be the most useful not only for you to lose weight but also for your health, you need to start from finding all the necessary ones. There is an important moment to remember! One portion should have not more than 300-500 calories and about 30 grams of protein. There are lots of variants how to cook protein shakes at home and we can propose you several ones:

The first variant:
- 100 grams of low-fat vanilla yoghurt
- ½ of glass of fresh fruits
- ½ of glass of orange juice
- 2 tablespoons of wheat sprouts
- ½ of glass of ice lumps

FYI: If you want your shake to be sweeter, you can add some syrup or a bit of honey (just not too much).
