10 Protein Shake Recipes You Can Make in Under 60 Seconds

If you’ve got a PROMIXX Pursuit shaker bottle, a scoop of protein, and a few smart add-ins, you can make shakes that taste great, support your goals (whether bulking or cutting), and take less than 60 seconds from “I should eat something” to “done.”

Below are 10 fast protein shake recipes that work for:

• Bulking (more calories, more carbs, more muscle-building support)
• Cutting (high protein, lower calories, more filling)
• On-the-go nutrition (simple, portable, reliable)

Every good shaker bottle recipe follows the same simple structure:

Water, milk, almond milk, oat milk, whatever you like.

Usually 1 scoop.

Something that makes it bulkier, leaner, more filling, or more energizing.

Your PROMIXX Pursuit makes this easy, no clumps, no weird gritty pockets.

Each one below is designed to be fast, tasty, shaker-friendly, and goal-based - whether that’s bulk, cut, or on-the-go.

Tastes like: creamy vanilla milkshake

Best for: easy extra calories and protein without feeling heavy

Add to your PROMIXX Pursuit:

• 10-12 oz milk (or oat milk)
• 1 scoop vanilla whey or vanilla plant protein
• 2 tbsp powdered oats (or instant oats)

Shake: 15 seconds

Why it works: oats add carbs and calories without needing a blender. It’s one of the simplest ways to bulk without eating another full meal.

Tastes like: peanut butter dessert

Best for: high-calorie, high-satiety bulking

Add:

• 10 oz milk
• 1 scoop chocolate protein
• 1-2 tbsp peanut butter (or powdered PB if you want it lighter - your shaker will prefer this)

Shake: 15-20 seconds

Quick upgrade: add a pinch of salt to make the flavor pop.

Tastes like: chocolate banana smoothie

Best for: when you want banana flavor without carrying a banana

Add:

• 10-12 oz milk or water
• 1 scoop chocolate protein
• 1/4-1/2 tsp banana extract

Shake: 10-15 seconds

Why it works: zero prep, zero mess, still tastes like a full smoothie.

Tastes like: cinnamon cereal milk

Best for: bulking without a heavy commercial mass gainer

Add:

• 12 oz milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Shake: 15 seconds

Why it works: quick carbs, flavor, and calories. Feels like a treat, hits like a meal.

Tastes like: iced latte

Best for: breakfast replacement, pre-workout, busy mornings

Add:

• 8 oz cold coffee (or cold brew)
• 4-6 oz milk or water
• 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein

Shake: 10-15 seconds

Important: never put hot liquids in your shaker bottle! It’s a recipe for disaster.

Why it works: caffeine plus protein is a cheat code for “I need energy and I need food.”

Tastes like: clean, simple, not too sweet

Best for: low-calorie, high-protein, easy digestion

Add:

• 12-16 oz cold water
• 1 scoop whey isolate (any flavor)

Shake: 10 seconds

Make it better: add a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt if your flavor is too sweet.

Why it works: it’s the most repeatable shake on earth. When cutting, consistency wins.

Tastes like: chocolate pudding vibes

Best for: cravings, late-night snack, staying on track

Add:

• 10-12 oz unsweetened almond milk (or low-cal milk)
• 1 scoop chocolate protein
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional for added richness)

Shake: 15 seconds

Why it works: big dessert taste without a big dessert calorie hit.

Tastes like: creamy and filling

Best for: staying full longer

Add:

• 12 oz water or almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein
• Chia seeds
• Optional: a dash of cinnamon

Shake: 15 seconds

Wait: 30 seconds for it to thicken

Why it works: chia adds fiber plus thickness, which helps with fullness during a cut.

Tastes like: sports drink with protein (surprisingly good with fruity flavors)

Best for: post-workout recovery when you’re sweaty and depleted

Add:

• 12-16 oz water
• 1 scoop fruity protein (or a lighter vanilla)
• 1 serving electrolyte powder (citrus works best)

Shake: 15 seconds

Why it works: hydration plus protein in one. Perfect for hot days, hard sessions, or when you’re running from gym to life.

Tastes like: whatever flavor you picked, clean and easy

Best for: travel, commuting, no kitchen access

Add:

• 12 oz bottled water
• 1 scoop protein
• 3-5g creatine (optional, if you take it daily)

Shake: 10-15 seconds

Why it works: it’s the ultimate “minimum effective dose” shake. No fridge, no blender, no excuses.

If your protein is buried in a cupboard behind random stuff, you’ll skip it. Keep these together:

• protein tub
• creatine (if you use it)
• electrolytes
• your PROMIXX Pursuit shaker bottle 

When everything is visible, it becomes automatic.

This is the biggest 60-second cheat code. At night (or before work), add your dry stuff to the Pursuit:

• protein powder
• creatine
• cinnamon/cocoa
• chia seeds

Then when you’re ready, just add liquid and shake.

Cold shakes taste better. Period. If you can keep milk or water cold, your shake instantly feels high quality. And if you want to keep it cold longer, invest in a premium dual wall stainless steel shaker.

Bulking isn’t about making a shake with 1,200 calories and regretting it. A smarter bulk is:

• protein and milk
• plus one calorie booster (oats, peanut butter, honey)

That’s it. Simple, repeatable, effective.

A good shaker bottle is essential for daily use. The reason these recipes work so well with the PROMIXX Pursuit shaker bottle is simple: because it’s built for quick mixing. That means:

• fewer clumps
• smoother shakes
• faster cleanup
• less friction

And less friction = more consistency.

More consistency = better results.

You don’t need 30 ingredients. You need 2-4 ingredients you actually like and can make anywhere. Pick two recipes from this list:

• one “default” shake you can drink daily
• one “fun” shake you look forward to

That combo alone can carry your nutrition for months.
