    Water, 1 scoop dry chocolate Muscle Milk, 1/4 c frozen blueberries. I have this for breakfast almost everyday. Yum!

    Love the blueberry idea!!! I have been 1 scoop of Choc MM in hot water before my 6am workouts during the winter. It's like hot chocolate. I will definitely be trying that this summer!!!

    Hi! Where do you get the dry chocolate muscle milk?

    You can get it almost anywhere. Wal Mart, Amazon, Costco, Sams Club

    I don't have a Vitamix, but I just bought protein powder last week for the first time and I've discovered two protein shakes I love! I've been trying to come up with combinations like the ones I used to make with just fruit, juice, and yogurt.

    Strawberry Shake
    (303 calories, 31g carbs, 1g fat, 43g protein with my ingredients)

    - 85g nonfat Greek yogurt
    - 1 serving vanilla protein powder
    - 140g frozen strawberries
    - 1 cup skim milk (can use 1/2 cup depending on how thick you want it)

    I like it when the strawberries are still a little chunky. To me, it tastes just like a strawberry shake from a restaurant! It makes a huge serving that keeps me full until lunch.

    Raspberry Chocolate Shake
    (308 calories, 30g carbs, 4g fat, 40g protein with my ingredients)

    - 100g 2% Greek yogurt (my grocery store was out of nonfat)
    - 1 serving chocolate protein powder
    - 140g frozen raspberries
    - 1/2 c. skim milk

    I had this for breakfast this morning & it was amazing!

    I did the exact same thing as the chocolate raspberry today and it was awesome! The only difference was I used almond milk and added a couple of teaspoons of pure cocoa powder...it gives it a rich dark chocolate taste. YUM!

    My go to:

    1/2 to one banana
    Ice
    Chocolate protein powder
    1/2 to 1 cup Almond Milk
    I TBSP peanut butter

    Sometimes I omit the peanut butter and add in a cup of brewed coffee.

    blend and enjoy! :drinker:
