    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.

    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.

    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! :smile:

    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!

    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.

    Another idea is to try almond butter instead of peanutbutter (never had some but just bought some :D)
