    I would add chocolate protein powder to Brownie mix and make protein fortifed brownies...
    Vanilla would probably work also...

    Instead of shakes, you can make your own protein bars too. I found just browsing:

    Its got a cookie like consistency and super easy to make. You can switch up the ingredients so calories are easy to control. I put in mini chocolate chips and walnuts and it tasted exactly like a cookie.

    I always use my vanilla for a breakfast shake, I use soy or almond milk with it, throw in strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, whatever fruit I have around and needs using up. I have a single use Hamilton Beach (walmart) blender, it twists off and I am in the car on my way to work with a good start to my day!

    I have learned through trial and error that adding dairy with protein is not so good so I just put vanilla whey protein with frozen fruit and some water and it tastes great. Hope this helps.

    My favorite has been a cup of almond milk, a few ice cubes, a scoop of vanilla powder, half an apple and a sprinkling of cinnamon- tastes just like the milk left over after a bowl of Apple Jacks.

    I just bought Syntha-6 (Strawberry Milkshake & Cookies and Cream) - I've read great reviews about it. Everyone seems to like the taste, even when prepared with water. I'll let you know... I'm a bit picky when it comes to protein shakes.

    So I ventured into Vanilla. Figured I could add some yogurt, berries, whatever and it would be amazing.....
    I 1st (and only) tried Greek yogurt, frozen berries, splash of milk and scoop of vanilla...
    Thanks!!

    Well, for me, that would be WAY too tart - too much yogurt compared to milk. I use about 3/4c milk to 1/4c yogurt.

    But it really depends. When I switched brands, the new brand did not taste good with greek yogurt, but it tasted really good with cottage cheese. Just keep experimenting with brands and proportions, until you get it the way you like it.

    I'm going to pick up some Pure Protein Vanilla in order to try some of the great recipes I've seen on here for shakes. I hope it turns out good!

    I add it to greek yogurt with some fruit and to me it tastes like CHEESECAKE! :) I stir it in in the morning and pack it for a snack/treat at work! :)

    unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk makes all mine awesome!!!! I buy the Carb Options shakes so I don't get the added sugar. :)
