One of the simplest things I do for a protein shake is mix water with 1 scoop of protein and 1/2C quick oats. Protein, good carbs, and some fiber to fill you up.

1 scoop whey
1 cup (8 oz milk)
1 banana
1 tbsp peanut butter

This sounds good ..I will have to try it.. I use the Herbalife Meal Shakes and add fruit to them..

meet "Sludge":
Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter. Mix well. I know it's not a shake, but it's VERY FILLING!

normally I just throw almond milk, protein powder, and some heavy cream in my blender bottle and go. It's not really rocket science.

My 2 favorites:

8 oz Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
1/2 cup frozen dark cherries

8 oz Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 scoop Strawberry or Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (or other fruit of your choice)

This is what I use as a breakfast replacement nearly every day. Filling, good nutritional profile, convenient to make & take. The only difference in my recipe vs. what is below is that I make mine with double strength refrigerated coffee to give it a caffeine kick:

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
2 scoops Optimum Nutrition 100% whey protein (from GNC)
2 tablespoons PB2 or (better, cheaper) peanut flour
12 oz of water
12-15 ice cubes
blend until smooth

Shakeology is *fantastic* -- I have used it once a day every day since January of this year & have lost an amazing amount of weight (well, amazing to me anyway) and feel great! More about Shakeology can be found at: http://myshakeology.com/Ernest24 Each delivery includes at least 30 different recipes to try, if daily variety is important.

Best wishes!

500ml Full fat milk
2 scoops of whey protein
30g of flax seed
1 tble spoon of peanut butter
2 tble spoons of chocolate nesquick (because I hate the taste of peanut butter)
4 tea spoons of benefiber (soluble fiber)

Works out at between 700-800 calories.

There is nothing special about shakeolgy, it's very over priced, also that guy wants to sell you some. Don't be fooled, counting calories, making informed decisions & hard work drop the weight, not a magic shake with "olgy" attached to the end to make it sound sciency!

Rae6503 · July 2012

8oz coffee
vanilla whey
ice
1 to 2 packets splenda
blend

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup water
vanilla whey
1 to 2 packets splenda
blend
*less water makes kind of a ice cream like substance.

1 cup skim milk
1 banana
vanilla whey
ice
1-2 packet splenda
*optional: 1 cup frozen strawberries (but this doesn't fit well in my single serving blender)
*That's the highest calorie one I do.

Thanks everyone! These should keep me going for a while with a good variety!

@shiftysheep
No fear! I get my whey from walmart, lol. I'm not going to spend a ton of money (that I don't have) on something just because it sounds scientific. ^-^ I like Jillian Michaels whey powder, its like $10 and lasts me around 2 weeks at a time. Vanilla or chocolate, they both taste awesome.
