Vanilla Protein shake recipies?

ShellyRae7

I'm always looking for ways to change up my protein drink.

currently I do -
One scoop protein
1/2 cup unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 LF yogurt
1 small banana
1/2 strawberries

but I have also added about 1/4 cup of raw almonds because I enjoy the crunch. (blend a bit longer)
I have added one orange which make it taste like I had put coconut in my drink.

It's all good, but I have to watch what I add, especially the extra nuts. the calories add up very fast and then we are defeating our purpose of weightloss.

I use Muscle Milk from GNC. 25 bucks for the 2.5lb jug. Mix it with nofat milk. Best tasting shake ever. Sometimes, i will throw it in a blender and drop a little peanut butter in there or frozen banana slices. PB is awesome though.
Another thing i will do is mix up my shake with just milk and pour it over my cheerios for breakfast. yummy in my tummy

increase your fiber by mixing one scoop of protein powder with a glass of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and one scoop of unsweetened orange flavoured fiber powder (Metamucil). It's way awesome and tastes like creamcicle!!!! Also works with chocolate protein (Terry's chocolate orange!)

I bought the vanilla gnc protein powder and had half a scoop mixed in a shake and it was awful for me too. Went back to the store and exchanged for the chocolate which is a ton better.

I have a medical condition that limits me to liquids and have tried numerous protein shakes that taste horrible. I have found that adding more vanilla flavor, either vanilla extract or ground vanilla beans helps the flavor as well as adding in frozen fruit and/or a little smooth peanut butter.

Personally I like HSN's Andrew Lessman's meal replacement shake in vanilla. It's a little on the sweet side but tastes delicious.

Because I usually drink one of my protein shakes right after the gym I have to drink it with water! I've discovered that adding about 1/4 scoop of orange gatorade to the mix makes it delicious!! I've tried it with vanilla and strawberry powder (the strawberry tastes like a creamcicle!!)

Melaluca has a great protein shake, ProFlex 20 it comes in vanilla and chocolate, vanilla is the best. I've tried others and this is great!

I mix mine (tastes like cardboard) with a small amount of fruit juice (I like mango or pineapple) then a portion of low fat plain yogurt = low cal high protein dessert

Good for u..
I got it like long time back...
I tried some of these ideas.. and omg it really works..
So i tried
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder(gnc)
1 cup of strawberries
1 cup almond milk unsweetened(40 calories)
a few ice cubes and blended it
it tastes GHOOOOOOD!!! .. it has a thick creamy texture and felt full after drinking it.. the next 1 m gonna try is the 1 with the spinach...oh this 1

I use 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 of a banana , a handful of spinach and a little splash of coconut extract. It tastes like a pina colada and apart from the green colour - you wouldn't even know that the spinach was in there. The spinach leaves no taste at all.

It is like a secret serving of greens that you didn't even know about.

Frozen berries + unsweetened almond milk will make almost any protein powder palatable.

I use a different Protein shake, but vanilla is my favorite, sometimes I will add diet rootbeer versus water for a treat. Yum.
I will add frozen blueberries or mangos, anything kind you like.
I sometimes will add nutmeg seasoning, pumpkin seasoning and cinnamon seasoning and always blend with Ice.

I alternate between 2 different smoothies every morning.
1. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 banana, handful raw spinach, 1 scoop protein powder
2. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 banana, 1 Tbls banana or vanilla sugar free pudding mix, 2 reduced fat vanilla wafers, 1 scoop protein powder.
