    I'm back with recipes!
    I like a HUGE and very thick milkshake consistency...

    I use at least 200g total frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, mangoes, banana, etc) or a mix of fruit and ice, in a powerful blender
    Add about 30g whey protein
    Any flavourings you want - coffee, PB/peanut flour, extracts, etc
    8-10oz liquid - I use 8oz almond milk plus additional water if needed
    and about 70g, or two large handfuls, of baby spinach.

    The consistency is awesome. I'm telling you. Don't knock it til you try it! And no greek yogurt required :bigsmile:

    Looks something like this:

    My version of a mocha shake :

    1/2 gallon original almond milk
    4 scoops chocolate protein powder
    3 tbls instant coffee (i use decaf)

    mix well in a blender and freeze in 8 oz containers

    I was a mocha frappe addict before i started my weight loss journey so i was very excited when i put this together and tasted it

    I actually do 12oz servings and its 173 cals per serving with the brands i use.

    i have one daily with lunch!

    just thought i'd share but i'm sure i'm not the first to try this.

    Raw egg... have fun getting a random stomach flu one day.

    I don't do fancy things with shakes, but I do bake with protein powder. I make protein banana muffins, brownies, ice cream etc.

    I've only ever used my protein powder and water - that's it. Shake and drink. I'm currently on Syntha 6 Isolate, Chocolate flavour.

    If I want things like fruit or spinach or anything like that, I just eat them....

    Might look at this for when I'm back at home and in my normal routine with access to shops and blenders and the like. With these full on shakes are you using them as one of your small meals/snacks for the day?

    Wow my shakes are really quite boring but I guess I am on caloric restriction at the moment so I don't want to waste too many calories on a shake, would rather eat them.

    I always put
    1 cup skim milk
    8 ice cubes and
    a scoop of protein powder and blend it up.

    I like the consistency of the shake and they always taste yummy.

    I mix it up a bit in that I use Optimum Nutrition choc malt, cookies n cream or extreme choc milk flavour. When I am a little more exciting I use one of several other brands of choc or vanilla flavoured protein powders that I am trying to use up and add something different like some mango, bananas, berries or some peanut butter. This thread is making me think I should get a little more creative though, but the shakes I make kinda taste like a yummy thickshake but they aren't naughty...

    Almost every morning I have:

    Blueberries, baby spinach, kale (super good for you, and you can't taste it), shredded carrots, Spiru-Soy Protein Powder, 1/2 banana, ground flax seed, CoQ10, cinnamon, and strawberries. In that order I put it all in my Nutri-Blast and whirl away. Yumm-O!!! I feel like if I were to blow the rest of the day, at least I've gotten all my nutrients in the morning.
