    You will get many good idea here, although many people say just eat well and you won’t need shakes. Sometimes though, it’s not eating well that’s the problem. Some people don’t have a lot of time, especially in the mornings with kids, jobs and such, to cook breakfast. They want something that’s quick to make, but also nutritious.
    I used to use a standard protein powder, mix with skim milk, light or natural peanut butter, banana , ice and some cinnamon.
    Now I use Shakeology and there are many recipes for that as well.

    Good luck!

    I drink the shakes because I enjoy them and find it hard to make food at certain times with 3 little ones. I take shakeo as well.. I will check out that website! I have worn out my pumpkin pie protein shake lol. I'm trying to find a recipe that mimics a mint like one! Also has anyone used any of the gnc desert protein powder? What were your thoughts on the taste?

    1 scoop protein powder (chocolate/vanilla/or plain)
    1 tbsp cocoa
    1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) raspberries or strawberries
    1 cup milk of your choosing
    1/2 cup water
    *a couple of ice cubes if using fresh berries

    Blend. Tastes like a chocolate cake :)

    I use the EAS Lean 15 Chocolate Fudge powder..I add one banana & 1tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter. It says you can use milk but to keep my cals down I add water & ice..I mix it up & then add more ice..it still has little ice chips in it & helps me feel like I'm eating something..lol I drink these 1-2x's a day..it fills me up & sometimes I just hate having to cook something. My friend uses the vanilla powder & adds sugar-free fruit(walmart has a berry mix) & adds her water..she loves it!! My shake comes out to 300cals.

    I keep it pretty simple, I use just one banana and a scoop of Intek Evolution Vanilla Whey with a splash of water and handful of ice in the blender. Tastes like liquid banana pudding.

    For variety, try with OJ instead of water and banana (so just OJ, ice, and whey). Orange creamsicle?

    Mmm. Spinach, water, ice, protein powder, frozen fruit of any sort.
    Make sure that you blend the spinach and water first! Otherwise it will be a chunky smoothie :)

    I used the GNC Total Lean Lean Shake protein powder in blueberries n cream flavor earlier this week. It was good and with 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 c. frozen starwberries, and ice, it tasted like a desert. But it's also 180 calories per 2 scoops with 30 g. of total carbs (4 g. of sugar) and only 9 g. of protein. I think I'll stick to my GNC Pro Performance Vanilla Whey (25 g. protein) for my everyday shake and break out the blueberries n cream only every once in a while.

    That said, they also have an orange cream flavor I may try at some point.
