Protein Shake Mix Ins

Nlongenecker

About a year ago, I drank a protein shake almost every morning for breakfast. But I ran out of ways to make them and got burnt out. Last night I decided to try it again. I bought Gen Soy Chocolate protein shake (210 Cal made w/ skim milk). I'm looking for different things to add in or different ways to make them to mix up the flavor a little bit, any ideas? This morning I added 1 Tbsp of instant coffee to give it a mocha twist.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I tried to put it in coffee before.....dont do that!
I keep meaning to pull out the blender and try some stuff but I do mine in the morning and don't want to wake the whole house.
I think I'm gonna start using 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night so I can get creative. I want to put yogurt and banana in there. I have Designer Whey French Vanilla.....I had some chocolate Fiber 35 with protein before, I liked that one better.

Freshly grated nutmeg

Triple Soy Chocolate Milkshake
Go ahead and indulge! Creamy and frosty, but low in fat and rich in soy. For the richest flavor, use Dutch cocoa. Note: If your blender can’t process ice cubes, place them in a plastic or burlap bad and crush them with a hammer first.

½ cup medium-firm tofu or firm silken tofu
1 scoop GeniSoy Natural Chocolate Shake Powder ( ¼ cup )
¼ cup unbleached sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla, or ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
10 ice cubes


Directions
Combine all the ingredients, except the ice cubes, in a blender and process until smooth. Add the ice cubes 2 at a time, blending briefly after each addition. When all are added, blend until the mixture is smooth and thick. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Easy Non-Dairy Hot Cocoa
Of course, you can just heat up your favorite chocolate-flavored soymilk, but if you have only plain soymilk in the house you can flavor it in different ways. For a dark, rich-tasting brew, use Dutch cocoa; for a milder drink, use regular cocoa powder. Soy protein isolate powder makes this very creamy.

Ingredients
1 cup very hot soymilk
½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unbleached sugar
1 tablespoon GeniSoy Natural Chocolate Shake Powder
¼ teaspoon vanilla, or ⅛ teaspoon almond or peppermint extract



Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Remove the plastic center part of the blender lid, and cover it with a folded tea towel before blending. This prevents steam build-up inside the blender which can cause hot liquid to explode. Blend until smooth. Pour into a mug and serve immediately.

Microwave Option:
Use cold soymilk. Pour all the ingredients into a large microwave-safe mug (large enough to prevent boil-overs), and microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Whisk before serving.
