HOW TO MAKE MARIA’S FAVORITE CHOCOLATE MALT PROTEIN SHAKE

Tomorrow is my birthday and I wanted to share my favorite protein shake recipe that I featured on my Weight Gain YouTube videos and how I gain muscle! The secret to making my delicious protein shake is Equip Prime Protein powder which is made from beef!

What Is Beef Protein Powder?

Beef protein powder is a complete, highly bioavailable protein source made by hydrolyzing beef into a clean, digestible form—without dairy, soy, or common allergens.

Unlike whey or plant blends, beef protein is:

  • Hypoallergenic

  • Rich in collagen-building amino acids

  • Low in carbs and fats

  • Easy on the gut

✨ It’s nose-to-tail nutrition, modernized for today’s lifestyle.

Why You Should Be Using Beef Protein Powder

1. It’s a Complete, Bioavailable Protein

  • Contains all 9 essential amino acids

  • Rich in glycine, proline, alanine—amino acids often missing from modern diets

  • Easy for the body to digest, absorb, and use for muscle repair and recovery

📈 Supports muscle maintenance, strength, and metabolic health—especially as you age.

2. Dairy-Free and Hypoallergenic

  • No lactose, casein, gluten, or soy

  • Ideal for those with gut issues, autoimmune conditions, or food sensitivities

🧠 Especially helpful for individuals with leaky gut, IBD, or thyroid dysfunction.

3. Supports Collagen Production and Tissue Repair

  • Naturally rich in collagen precursors

  • Promotes:

    • Joint health

    • Skin elasticity

    • Hair and nail growth

    • Gut lining integrity

🦴 Great for women in menopause, athletes, and those healing from injury or surgery.

4. Supports Fat Loss and Satiety

  • High in protein = high thermic effect of food (TEF)

  • Protein is the most satiating macronutrient—helps curb cravings and stabilize blood sugar

  • Low-carb, low-fat = easy to fit into keto, paleo, or carnivore diets

🍽 Helps you eat less without feeling deprived.

5. Versatile and Easy to Use

  • Blends into:

    • Coffee

    • Smoothies

    • Protein pancakes or baked goods

    • Bone broth drinks

🥄 No clumping or chalky aftertaste—creamy texture, neutral or chocolate flavors available.

 

Why I Recommend Beef Protein to Clients

Beef protein powder is one of the most versatile tools I use with clients looking to:

  • Increase protein intake without dairy

  • Support hormone balance and collagen post-40

  • Build muscle while healing the gut

  • Stay full longer without insulin spikes

It’s especially powerful for:

  • Autoimmune recovery

  • Postpartum or menopause

  • Active individuals needing joint support

✅ It fits seamlessly into clean, functional, and ancestral eating protocols.

What to Look for in a Quality Beef Protein Powder

  • Grass-fed beef source

  • No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or gums

  • Hydrolyzed or isolate form for best absorption

  • 20–25g protein per scoop

  • Lab-tested for purity

Calories 291.2

Equipment

1 Immersion Blender (or blender)

Ingredients
  

OPTIONAL BROWN BUTTER DIP (this will make extra for future protein shakes):

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons stevia glycerite (or 1/4 cup powdered allulose)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions
 

  • Place the unsweetened coconut milk into a large wide mouth jar, add the protein powder and malt extract. Use a stick blender to combine well. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Set aside.
  • To make the brown butter dip, place the salted butter into a large pot. Heat over high heat while whisking often. Keep whisking while brown flecks appear. Remove from heat and add the cream cheese, stevia glycerite and coconut milk. Use a stick blender to puree until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of brown butter dip into the shake and combine well with the stick blender. I also love to eat it with a spoon while drinking the shake in-between each spoonful.
  • Place the shake in the fridge overnight for it to thicken. Store the brown butter dip in a covered jar for up to 8 days.
  • Enjoy!
