protein shakes/recipes

mfisher16508

Hi peeps, I like protein shakes and use the EAS powder, right now I have only tried the vanilla, but I do have the eas protein chocolate shakes that are already ready and contain 42 grams of protein, I like to have a shake around 5 am at work so that when I do go home and go to bed I am not hungry and eating whatever is in site.

SOooooo my question is this....if you utilize powdered protein, what recipes do you use, what are your faves, ect...I would like a good one for PB and choco or something fruity where you can taste the fruit. I dont normally use milk I will use greek yogurt either vanilla or plain, and some V8 diet juice the fruit kind, and ice along with fiber powder, but that can make one a tad gassy so I dont do it everyday. lol....it just makes it even creamier.

or if you have or know of a good website for recipes Id be psyched to try that.

thanks in advance

I use any random protein powder provided it is whey protein ISOLATE. If it's not isolate my gut rebels. I haven't tried other sources for protein in my shakes.

My recipe:

One cup of skim milk or plain fat free yogurt, whatever you prefer.
One half scoop of whey protein isolate (my current container, a 1/2 scoop is about 15 g of protein)
One cup of frozen strawberries
One cup of frozen mango chunks

Blend

Add water or ice until desired consistency is reached.
It makes about two tall glasses.
Change out the fruits once in a while to keep it interesting or to adjust to your calorie and sugar goals. Banana will blow your sugars off the map, so avoid if sugars are important for your diet.
I plan on adding some frozen chopped spinach next time, see how it turns out

ETA: if you take them at the end of a work shift, prepare ahead of time and freeze. Let thaw in the work fridge and enjoy, either as a frozen treat or a shake.

for a nice twist on the protein shake..which I drink way too many of....try fat free vanilla pudding, strawberries, a banana and scoop of powder....very tasty all blended up...I do milk and greek yogurt but sometimes the pudding is a nice change.

Do you all buy those big vats of protein powder (sold in Target, Walmart, etc)? Or is there a smaller version of the vats?

why add the spinach? what does it do to the taste?

Spinach would add alot of iron and probably just take on the flavor of whatever else was added in. Spinach is very nutricious All leafy green vegetables are.

I love the new juices that you can by that are veggies and fruit in one tasty drink. For someone who has trouble getting in their portions , this is great ! And kids love it too !

My favorite is a chocolate, peanut butter, and banana shake.

1 cup milk
1/2 frozen banana
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 scoop chocolate whey powder
1 rounded teaspoon of instant coffee (optional)
1 tsp honey (optional)
4-5 ice cubes

Blend until smooth.

This is pretty high cal (over 300) but it is hearty enough to have instead of a meal. I usually have it for breakfast.

I mix mine with half caf coffee, SF vanilla syrup, and 2Tbs of half and half - awfully delish

(I use GNC 100% Whey Cookies and Cream or Vanilla)
