looking for recipes in preparing whey protein shake

openmindedandwilling

Hello all,

I am four days into my diet journey. I just received a bottle of whey protein and have no idea how to prepare to make it more interesting. I cant have any milk....I can eat 1 fruit and two vegetables along with a 600 calorie diet menu of protein. I am open to any suggestions.

Have your tried soy mile or almond milk? I use soy milk in my shakes with any frozen fruit I have on hand. I've heard of putting spinich with fruit in your shakes that way you get some more veggies and don't worry you don't taste the spinich (at least that's what I'm told). Why are you only allowed to have such few calories and fruit and veggies? Not trying to be rude I was just wondering.

I use Blue Diamond vanilla almond milk. It is 40cals per 1cup (8oz) it taste so yummy. I like to add banana or berries. Peanut butter or almond butter depending on what your likes are and cal intake a day. I make a shake every morning because it is convenient. :happy:

I use 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop designer gourmet vanilla whey and 1 cup of fruit - berries normally because they are lower carb.

You could try broccoli or spinach - I've heard they are good but I've never tried them.

2 Scoops Whey Vanilia Protein Powder
2 Strawberries
1/2 Banana
1/2 teaspoon Vanilia Extract
4-5 Ice Cubes
1/2 Cup Almond Milk

I have to try this! Sounds great!
I usually do any frozen unsweetened fruit. It's like having a milkshake for breakfast.

I got this recipe from a low carb website that I am a member of.

1 scoop EAS Vanilla Protein Powder or your brand of vanilla. I use this brand because it is less expensive.
1 cup Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla
1 tablespoon Walden Farms Caramel Sauce

Mix all ingredients well in a blender. Try adding 1 teaspoon instant coffee to make a Starbucks Frappucino.

I read somewhere to add a Tbsp or 2 of your fav Instant Jell-o, and fruit for a fast meal on the run. I tried it with Strawberry Whey and Cheesecake Jell-o and some blended strawberries...it wasn't bad. The Jell-o thickened it up and was more like a shake.

If you can't have milk, then why are you using whey protein? :huh:

In a blender:

Scoop of Whey
Tablespoon of peanut butter
1/2 banana
Handful of baby spinach
6 ounces water
4 ice cubes

Sounds terrible but it's delicious.
