    Whaaaaaa
    You should probably replace the ice cream and Oreo's with something healthy; yes on the unsweetened almond milk, half banana, ice and pro powder and BAM that's like a mere 230 cal. Good luck!

    There is nothing wrong with ice cream and oreo's, the Op is in eating/drinking to much if OP isn't weighing their food.

    how about this... create the recipe in MFP and log it. Log your food.
    If you are over in calories, then yes, the shakes are contributing factors. If not. Shake away.

    Too many calories = weight gain.
    Regardless if it's shakes or chicken.

    You are just gaining muscle from all that protein! And that's cool.

    Not if she's not lifting weights.

    No.

    Um, you do realize OP doesn't need serious answers, right? unless you believe she really thought blending oreos into liquid would actually negate the calories...

    Guys a staff member has allredy posted that if you don't give serious answers you'll be given 2 warning points, can you not read?

    The reason you gained 4 pounds is that you are eating to much!!! get a digital food scale weigh your solid foods and measure liquids only!!

    OK, what serious answers do you need now that everyone has addressed everything you've said several times?

    so I thought I'd create my own healthy shake to fill me up and it really works to make me full! I have it instead of snacking, about 3 glasses a day.

    It consists of protein shake, almond milk, Oreos and ice cream. (The oreos aren't double stuffed and the ice cream is vanilla flavoured) I blend it all up and it tastes so good. But in the past week or so I've gained like 4 lbs :/ Should I switch to unsweetened almond milk instead of regular?

    OP, that's not healthy. Like others have said, if this shake is really what you want, weigh things out and put it in a recipe builder to see how much you are actually eating.
    It definitely sounds like you're eating way too many calories. :)
