Is your super green protein shake coming from a shake restaurant in Cali? I've heard about a place out there that sells yummy shakes, but we don't have a location out here on the east coast!
the shrimp were so good! I got the recipe on allrecipes.com, 4 1/2 stars and 358 reviews!
heres the recipe if you're interested
Marinated grilled shrimp
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
skewers
In a large bowl, stir together the garlic, olive oil, tomato sauce, and red wine vinegar. Season with basil, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add shrimp to the bowl, and stir until evenly coated. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring once or twice.
Preheat grill for medium heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard marinade.
Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp on preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.
Thank you for the recipe, it sounds great and I'm always looking for good new shrimp recipes esp. ones that have been taste tested.
I make the shake myself, it's Jackie Warner's recipe from the reality show "Workout" yes, I watch it It's super healthy, she swears by it and gives it to all her training clients.
Here's the recipe if you like, you can get everything at any Health Food. I cut it down to make it a smaller portion and I found it too thick so I add a cup of Orange Crystal Light and it's not super yummy or anything--but it's decent.
2 cups berries (I use frozen)
1 scoop mega green powder
1 tablespoon amino acids
1 tablespoon flaxeed oil with omega 3's
1 serving whey powder (low carb, low glycemic)
1 cup ice
I don't think it does, I use "Any Whey" flavorless protein from Optimum Nutrition, it's great!...
The shake does however have a bit of the "green" taste from the veggie/green powder, but adding the Crystal Light and fruit softens that. I don't mind it at all.
**Can you BELIEVE Doug died on Workout? unbelievable someone SO healthy (& gorgeous) could just pass away in a blink like that! I totally don't believe Rebecca and Jackie's r/ship either, I think Rebecca did it for the airtime!
