I need help. I bought the powder thinking of making smoothies... even bought the fruit, but then I realized I have no idea how to actually put it all together. Anyone have a favorite recipe...smoothie or otherwise?

I use my vanilla flavored stuff, put it in the mini blender with some skim milk and ice and blend til its all the same consistency. For added flavor I'll add a little vanilla extract and mix in some cool whip. It was a sweet yummy treat

I usually do about 1/2 - 3/4 cup of either apple juice (no sugar added) or 1% milk, some yogurt, frozen berries and sometimes 1/2 a banana as well and of course a scoop of protein powder. Smoothies are really easy just mix and match things

On the powder I have, it has the suggested amount of milk and powder to make a shake...I usually add more milk because I don't like it thick. So I would start with that and see. It also depends how thick your smoothies already are without the powder. Probably just a scoop would be enough, but play with it and see what you like. If it's too thick, add more juice and stir.

I also like to make oatmeal with water and add a little milk and a scoop of powder after.

Protein Powder Recipes

Protein Powder & Oatmeal:


This is an extremely fast and easy meal for when you are in a rush. Simply take your serving of oatmeal, cook it through your preferred method and then add a scoop of protein powder in after its finished cooking.

Note however that you may wish to add a little more water before cooking as the protein powder will act as a thickener. Other additions that you can add to increase the taste and nutrient profile are peanut butter, chopped or frozen fruit and milk.

Protein Jell-o:

1 scoop protein powder (preferably fruit flavored)

Make jell-o as directed on the package only right before you put it into the fridge; mix in one scoop fruit flavored protein powder. Syntrax's Nectar protein works great for this recipe.

Protein Powder Cottage Cheese:


Another very easy idea for those on a high protein diet and looking for a fast meal. Take 1/2 to1 cup cottage cheese and mix with 1/2 to 1 scoop protein powder. If you are looking for a more complete protein and fat meal, which may be the case for those on carb cycling plans, add in a tablespoon of peanut butter to get the macronutrient profile you need.
