    I just mixed a scoop in a plain greek yogurt and it was pretty good. Makes it SUPER thick though.

    I did this for the first time yesterday. Used the Oikos yogurt and a scoop of peach spirutein. It was like eating frosting. :)
  • 1 1/3 scoops powder
    6-8oz 2% reduced fat milk
    1/4 cup lite and fit vanilla yogurt

    And any of the following:

    3oz Dole Slices Frozen Strawberries
    2oz Blackberries, fresh
    1/2 Medium banana, frozen or fresh
    1/8th freshly peeled orange
    3oz Dole Frozen Mixed Citrus Salad

    I like to mix and match some of the fruits since they all benefit me in different ways.

    mix 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder with 1 Tbsp of natural peanut butter and you have a sweet dryer peanut butter. Use it on or in anything you would normally use peanut butter.

    Had a PB&J for lunch with this and it was great. I also sometimes add rice crisps to the protein peanut butter then roll into balls and freeze for a treat.

    I also throw in 1/3 scoop (9grams protein) in coffee.

    I don't use whey powder because all of the whey proteins you get have sucralose in them which can cause long term effects to your liver BUT I do us chocolate shakeology and love adding almond milk and strawberries!

    Untrue. 'Whey to go' by Solgar does not.

    My never fail go-to breakfast smoothie is:

    - 1 scoop Designer vanilla whey
    - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, choc or vanilla
    - 1/2 a frozen banana
    - 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
    - 1/2 tbsp pure cocoa powder
    - 1 packet stevia.
    - crushed ice to make it nice n' thick

    I usually alternate one of these one day, and the next day I have eggs. I don't like anything else than those things for breakfast, and the smoothie keeps me full for a good 2-3 hours, it's enough protein/carbs/fats for me. I also used to really enjoy ice cream/frozen yogurt/Wendy's frosties and this keeps my cravings away

    Low Carb High Protein Pumpkin Pancake Recipe
    Serving size – 2 small pancakes

    Ingredients
    Egg whites – 3-4 egg whites
    Cooking splenda – 2 tbsp
    Maple Grove Sugar free pancake mix – 1/3 serving
    Pumpkin (can) – 1/2 serving (2 ounces)
    Cinnamon – 1 tsp
    Vanilla whey protein – 1/2 serving

    Directions
    Mix all ingredients, a blender would be best, I use the "magic bullet". The more you mix the fluffier the pancakes. Cook the mixture as you would do for normal box pancakes. However, these are less stable and require a little more time in the pan.

    Macros for 2 servings
    Protein 27g
    Carbohydrates 13g
    Fibre ~8g
    Fats 1.5g of fat

    Top with Walden Farms calorie free Pancake Syrup and Spray butter.......YUMMY

    Fill Blender with Ice
    1 Banana
    6 oz Berries (you can use strawberry, raspberry, blueberry or all three.
    1/2 cup non fat Greek yogurt
    Then I add the Whey in after its mixed and mix again.
    I will decide how much Whey after my work out I like two scoops. which is 280 calories and 54 grams of protein.
  • I am loving this post!

    I made these the other day with a few alterations! http://www.pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/2011/2/22/healthy-breakfast-muffins.html

    I left out the banana and used 1/2 cup Applesause instead
    I left out the raisins and used same amount in dried Cherries
    Then Added Vanilla Whey Protein 1 Scoop!

    So Good! I made them and froze them so I can just pop it out in the morning!

    Pancakes, smoothies, flapjacks, power balls. The list is endless

    My current fave is unflavoured way sprinkled onto salad. The brand I use has a random yet nice sticky texture as it hits the moisture
