Cake Batter Smoothie

This recipe was taken from the Live Well Network. I was watching the show "Live Big with Allie Vincent" and fell in love with this recipe. Who doesn't want a does of healthy cake batter!?
Honestly, it tastes EXACTLY like licking the bowl of leftover cake mix!

Looking at the protein content, it is on the upper end. I would not recommend more then that at one time due to digestibility and waste of protein (but also, that value would change depending on your body composition. For example. I need roughly 50-61g protein and this shake easily meets 57-70% of my needs at one meal, plus factor in how much my body can digest and use at one meal). It is the equivalent to about a 5 oz. piece of meat.

Many people are worried about protein intake. Meeting protein needs is MUCH easier then one may think. Other foods contain protein like sweet potatoes, bread/grains, cheese and milk.

As far as Satiety goes, this should hold you over for a few hours.
