I made a “dream shake” about 3 years ago on video and people still talk about it to this day.
So, finally, I’ve made a sequel video.
Here’s the ingredients list :
- raw grass fed milk
- free range raw egg yolk
- almond butter
- peanut butter
- banana
- Saigon cinnamon
- organic chocolate syrup
- virgin coconut oil
- grass fed/low temp. pasteurized whip cream (on top)
- Bullet Proof Whey protein
As seen in the video, I also frequently use wild frozen blueberries. In that case I nix the nut/bean butters, as well as the chocolate syrup. I’ve tried other berries as well, but prefer blueberries the most.
Finally, I recommend using raw half/half if available over raw milk. (The store was out last I bought the milk).
Hey posted this on the video itself.
Thanks.
Few questions if you have the time:
1) What do you think is the estimated cost of making a shake? For example, I assume the milk and eggs are probably costlier than their more popular counterparts.
2) Instead of using chocolate syrup, is it better to use a solid organic chocolate? Seems like you avoid additives (especially additional sugar in the syrup) that way.
3) What about the idea of blending in supplements/multivitamins for added nutrition? Like ginseng or Sisson’s Damage Control pills.
1) Hmmm…. the way this specific shake was made was definitely not cheap. Probably close to 7 or even 8 dollars when all was said and done.
A lot of that was in the nut butters though.
So if I were to have the blueberry version (much simpler), the cost would drop dramatically. Even with the high quality egg, milk, whey, and berries … maybe 3-4 dollars, tops.
2) I wouldn’t use solid organic chocolate, doesn’t blend well. Instead use cocoa powder (real cocoa powder, not some random hot chocolate mix). You’ll still probably need a sweetener though … try raw honey or maple syrup.
The chocolate syrup I used was organic, so there were no weird additives in it, just sugar and cocoa basically. It’s not ultra-sweet either. It’s syrup for sure, but pretty dark considering.
3) Never really considered it. High quality raw egg yolks ARE my multi-vitamin. Raw milk is pretty bad ass in and of itself as well.
Going to try out that protein once I finish up with my Optimum Nutrition.
Highly recommend it. Their coffee is bad ass too.

Hey Dream! I got 2 questions:
1.) Can i make a bottle of this shake and store it in a bottle in the fride?
2.) Is this drink suited for pre or post workout?
Thanks
I have never tried storing it long term. I have no idea how it would store. I always drink them immediately.
I would never drink this pre-workout. You would throw it up immediately in any adequately intense strength training program.
I drink it after I workout, although I’m not in a big rush to do so.
Can you tell me the macros for the shake – Protein/Carb/Fat percentage? Thanks
I don’t know the exact numbers. If I had to take a guess, I’d say about a 33/33/33 split. Not necessarily on purpose, but by incidence.
