    Get this protein powder from Costco, best on market for Protein/Value. 27 grams & 140 cals per scoop. 75 scoops per 6lb bag at $50 a bag. I buy Vanilla as it mixes well with about anything. Add 4 Strawberries for strawberry Vanilla flavor. Likewise for 4 Tangerines, or 2 table spoons almond butter, 1 banana, etc... you can mix with 6-8 oz 1% milk for a little more protein/calories or it's fine with just water. Sometimes I add a raw egg if I need even more protein. Mix with a Little Braun Hand mixer (the one from Total Recall with Arnold ;-) ) The great thing about Costco, you don't like it bring it back for a refund, no problem.

    Cyrosport 100% Whey Vanilla Protein Powder - Protein Powder <---- This is in the database you can look it up. Made by same folks who make Muscle Milk.

    My shake

    1 scoop protein powder flavor of choice
    1/2 - 1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
    1/4 cup milk


    For mixins I add one or more
    1 Tbsp freshly ground flax
    1 Tbsp freshly ground almond slivers (into a powder)
    1Tbsp smucker's sugar free jelly

    Sometimes I leave out the milk and just mix it in a bowl and eat it. Works the same, and no reason a protein shake can't be a protein bomb in a bowl. Usually 300 calories or less.

    If it's a Dr. Oz promoted idea, you'd probably do best to avoid it.

    But for future reference, here is the recipe calculator.

    I've been reading about shakes that include some crazy things. I'm looking for something that doesn't cost more than just buying them. Fruits, veggies, yogurt, a powder supplement...etc. I'm on a low calorie diet of 1500/day. So, I need a pre/post workout recipe if ya have one!

    Thanks in advance!!

    How about you try making a shake with:

    fruit
    veggies
    yogurt
    or a powder supplement?

    Metabolic Rest in chocolate with some skim milk or coconut milk is good, occasionally I will put in 0% Greek yogurt, or skip the milk all together and just put the powder inside the yogurt, its VERY GOOD!

    I also love vanilla Greek yogurt with strawberries and a banana!
