I generally mix this with either milk or water, and sometimes add an instant coffee to it. I'm getting pretty sick of the taste though - I've been drinking it like this for about two years. Do you have an recipes that use this kind of protein in the chocolate flavor? I tried making a bar once and it didn't work out so well. Any tried and true recipes for bars, shakes, etc.? Thanks!

    I am using a different brand protein powder but this recipe should work anyway.

    In blender add:

    1 cup water or almond milk
    1 Tbls almond butter
    1 cup frozen cherry/berry blend

    Blend until smooth then add protein powder and blend 10 secs or until incorporated. If you blend the protein powder much longer your smoothie will start to froth and I am not fond of that texture.

    When you want a change you can exchange frozen raspberries or blackberries for the cherry/berry blend or exchange peanut butter for the almond butter or omit it entirely.
