Well I do shakes, but my newest breakfast is plain greek yogurt mixed with protein powder. Tastes just like pudding. I also put it in my oatmeal.0

¼ cup honey
¼ cup water
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

I lined a 8X8 pan with wax paper, Put the mixture in the pan and press down. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes then flip it out and cut into 12 bars. we wrapped them in snack sized bags that way I can just grab and go!!0 -
Honestly that sounds pretty terrible. When you cook, make real food that is high in protein. Don't ruin food that isn't.0

Protein Pancakes!!!
The basic recipe I originally found was
1 egg (or two egg whites)
1 scoop protein powder
Mix it up and pour small amounts onto a greased griddle.
These were more like crepes and are fairly eggy tasting.
However, there are a LOT of really interesting protein powder flavors available. This time I used banana cream Muscle Pharm Combat powder. Your chocolate powder with a few chocolate chips would be yummy! I've always just stuck to plain ol-vanilla whey powders, but now I'm opening up a whole new world :-) I even saw a cinnamon roll powder and am betting that would be divine!
In addition to the basic ingredients, I added a sprinkle of slivered almonds and some flax meal for fiber. The batter was a bit thick by then, so I added a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt because I thought the tang would go well with the banana flavor. You could always just add a splash of water/milk/almond milk to thin the batter as well.
I've been playing with this recipe for a while now and while the flavor was there, they were pretty darn dense. this time, i also added a teaspoon of baking powder. MUCH better!!
I didn't think they needed any sweetener, but YMMV. Flavored liquid stevia would probably be nice. OR, a squirt of DaVinci or Torrani sugar-free flavored coffee syrup
Even my husband liked them and he has no dietary restrictions, so he's usually fairly fussy about "diet crap"
