Lykkers, have you ever gotten bored of your usual protein shake?
We totally feel you. Whether you're hitting the gym, watching your weight, or just looking for a tasty and healthy start to the day, drinking the same thing on repeat can be a real struggle.
That's why we put together this protein smoothie guide that covers a whole week's worth of fun flavors—plus it's cooling, energizing, and easy to prep!
Start with the Right Liquid Base
Let's talk base liquids first. Depending on what you like, we can use regular milk, soy milk, or coconut milk. You can even grab almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or coconut water from the store. But if you're mixing at home, here's a simple cheat sheet:

• Milk: 25g milk powder + 200ml water
• Soy milk: 15g milk powder + 15g unsweetened soy powder + 200ml water
• Coconut milk: 15g milk powder + 10g unsweetened coconut powder + 200ml water
All three give a nice creamy base for your shake. Choose what fits your mood or diet goals!
Let's Sweeten It Just Right
If you've got a bit of a sweet tooth (no shame!), go ahead and add:
• A drizzle of honey
• A spoonful of condensed milk
• A splash of maple syrup
Or, for a lighter option, use zero-cal sweeteners or dates (great in a blender!).
How Much Protein Powder Should We Add?
We recommend 15–25g of unflavored or vanilla protein powder for each shake:
• 15g: smooth and mild—hardly noticeable in taste
• 20g: has a light protein taste
• 25g: stronger flavor but still tasty and rich
Adjust according to your own preferences. If you're just getting started, try 15g first and go up from there.
21 Fun Flavors to Try
Here's where things get exciting! Try one new flavor every day and never get bored:
1. Matcha: 3g matcha powder
2. Malt: 14g malted chocolate powder
3. Black Sesame: 20g black sesame paste
4. Coffee: 2.5g instant black coffee
5. Mocha: 3g cocoa powder + 2.5g coffee
6. Cocoa: 3g cocoa powder
7. Brown Sugar: 20g brown sugar
8. Peanut Cocoa: 3g cocoa + 20g peanut butter
9. Banana Cocoa Peanut: 30g banana + 3g cocoa + peanut butter
10. Berry Blast: 50g strawberries or blueberries (blend!)
11. Mango: 60g mango
12. Durian: 50g durian (only if you love it!)
13. Sweet Corn: 50g sweet corn kernels
14. Taro Delight: 40g steamed taro + 2g purple yam powder
15. Sweet Potato: 50g steamed sweet potato

Most of these can be blended the night before and stored in the fridge. The next morning, just add the protein powder, shake well, and enjoy that chilled, milkshake-like texture. Trust us, it's almost like having dessert for breakfast—but it's good for you!
Want It Thicker and More Filling?
Some of us need a breakfast that really holds us over until lunch. To make your smoothie extra thick and satisfying, add:
• Chia seeds
• Oat bran
• Rolled oats
These help with satiety and also add great texture!
Cool Tip for Hot Days
When it's hot out, make your smoothie the night before and let it chill overnight in the fridge. The next morning, it tastes just like an ice cream shake—and gives you that satisfying, cool refreshment to beat the heat.
Let's Say Goodbye to Boring Shakes
We know how tempting bubble tea or other sugary drinks can be, but with this guide, your own smoothie can taste just as good (and way more nourishing). You can even toss in fun bits like mini taro balls, red beans, oats, or crushed peanuts for that bubble-tea style chew.
Final Thoughts for Lykkers
Lykkers, we've made it so easy to turn your daily protein drink into a little treat. Just a few ingredients and a little planning, and you've got a week's worth of flavors you'll actually look forward to.
