    I love it in smoothies, but it is also great in oatmeal. My favorite is plain oats (bob's red mill multi-grain), a scoop of chocolate protein powder and then 1 TBSP of peanut butter or 2 TBSP of PB2 - mix it together and it is like a very filling peanut butter cup for breakfast!

    Just using it with water when i first started actually made me gag. When I first started I had to mix it with milk.... 3 months down the line though, for whatever reason, I can use tap water fine. Protein powder just doesnt taste that nice, I dont see the point in over complicating it to disguise the taste with an amazing smoothie. Plus to be honest, quite a lot of time smoothie ingredients are a detriment to the efficiency or sometimes the entire point of the whey protein.

    A handful of frozen berries, skim milk and yogurt. Blend it in a bullet and it is a full breakfast of a post workout supplement.

    I mix chocolate protein powder with unsweetened almond-coconut milk. It tastes like an Almond Joy candy bar! Low cal, low carb, satisfying and delicious!

    I make a fruit smoothy for breakfast every morning.
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 calories)
    1 cup berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)
    1 scoop whey protein powder
    1 Tbsp chia seeds
    1 TBSP flax seeds

    I am full until lunch time with this.

    I also make a pumpkin smoothy:
    same as above except substitute pumpkin for the berries.
    add 1 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning and
    1 tsp of cinnamon.

    that sounds really good!

    Don't forget greens everyone! It's the easiest way to get a serving of kale or spinach for the day! I started with baby spinach and now I use kale from my garden. I just fill the blender with it add water, vanilla protein powder, frozen banana, frozen blueberries!

    DELISH!!

    If you use Kale you will taste it but if you use organic baby spinach I promise you won't even know it's in there.

    Also, google protein pancakes! They are delicious and you can make them w/protein powder, cottage cheese, oats....a whole variety of ingredients!

    I bought Kale and it sat in my fridge in the bag for 2-3 days. I opened it up (never had Kale before) and it smelled like broccoli when you cook broccoli - is it supposed to smell like that?

    Chocolate is a bit versatile. You can add frozen berries, peanut butter or PB2, mint extract, and I'll even mix mine with OJ instead of milk for a chocolate orange flavor. I've used 2% milk, unsweetened almond milk, dark chocolate almond milk (yummo double chocolate) and OJ. Since I use it in a breakfast smoothie I don't mix it with water because I need the extra calories and proteins to keep me going. You can also add chia or ground flax seeds to add a bit more protein and fiber.
