    Hey all, I'm trying to come up with some protein shake recipes that are a little better than what I've done in the past; a more rounded sort of breakfast smoothie. Does anyone have experience using veggies in their fruit-based protein shake?

    I'm going to try a recipe:

    4 oz orange juice
    50 g banana (roughly half a banana)
    170 g (6 oz) Zoi Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
    1 scoop EAS whey protein powder (about 18 g)
    10 g ground flax seed
    4 oz H2O
    5 ice cubes

    ... and maybe add some spinach? Would that taste terrible? I see recipes that "hide" spinach in sweet protein shakes so I'm wondering if this is going to taste ok before wasting ingredients! Anyone try something like this?

    If I added spinach, this recipe would be:
    335 cal
    28 g protein
    5 g fat
    44 g carb
    4 g fiber

    plus hefty doses of Vitamin A, C, Calcium and Potassium.

    One scoop Isopure vanilla creme protein powder... mix with 1/2 cup of milk. Pour into 12 ounces of hot but not too hot coffee. My favorite way to consume protein powder.
