I buy a No Bake Cookie protien shake from a gym that isn't my own every lift day. It's amazing! But, it's also $4.50 every time! And, I have powder at home. I tried to make it myself today after my workout and that was a huge FAIL!!!! Didn't even taste close to it.

Anyone have good recipes that you make for your shakes at home? Other than the basic milk and powder?

The one I eat that I love has pb, oatmeal, milk, water, ice, and chocolate protein powder.

    1 scoop vanilla protein

    1/2 cup canned pumpkin

    This is the smoothie recipe I make every day that I love! This recipe makes 2 servings, each with 35g protein or more, and about 370cals or more, depending on your protein powder

    1/2c plain Greek Yogurt
    1/2c nonfat milk
    2T Natural creamy peanut butter
    3/4c oatmeal (previously cooked)
    2 scoops Chocolate Protein powder
    handful of ice

    That's my fav, I never make anything else, it's filling, it's perfect for a snack or a meal if you can't be at home!

    edit: I meant plain greek yogurt

    You could try this to see if its similar to what you buy. This is one of Chocolatecoveredkatie.com's many fab recipes. I add protein powder to all her milkshakes. I use plain but I am sure vanilla or even chocolate powder would work.

    Sugar Cookie Milkshake

    (serves 1)

    2/3 cup milk of choice (try canned coconut milk for an ice-cream-like shake)
    1 frozen, over-ripe banana or 1/2 cup of your favorite ice cream (see nutrition link below, for my many substitution options!)
    scant 1/4 tsp baking soda
    1/4 tsp cream of tartar
    1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
    optional: 1-2 tbsp raw cashew butter (I like to add this)
    optional: add cinnamon for a snickerdoodle shake!

    Blend everything together until very smooth. Don’t add ice; it will dilute the flavor.

    I drink vanilla T7 protein shake. I mix it with 1 cup of milk and 1/2 packet of Crystal Light orange. Tastes like a creamsicle.

    I know the crystal light is horrible for you and filled with chemicals but I just can not choke protein drinks down any other way. I also can't stand the taste of protein bars. I'll find one I like for a few bars, then it will start to taste like chemicals to me.

    The Thrive T7 protein powder is available here, if you're interested: http://thriveweightloss.com/products/303-thrive-t7-protein-powder

    It's really good for protein powder.

    I need to get some more powders.. right now I have a chocolate peanut butter flavor.. so I use milk and a frozen banana for that.
    When I use vanilla powder, its milk, with frozen mango, peach or other berries.

    I need more ideas too:)
