Recently, I decided that I was undoubtedly bored with my vanilla protein shake mix. But with a Costco tub of it.. what was I to do?
This is what I came up with:
_________________________________________
Pistachio Creme' Shake
(So far, this is my favorite!!)

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon pistachio sugar free pudding mix
1 cup milk or water
_________________________________________

Strawberry Cheesecake Shake

1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon sugar free cheesecake pudding mix
4 large frozen strawberries
1 cup milk or water
_________________________________________

Orange Creme Shake

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 snack cup of mandarin oranges
1 cup milk or water
_________________________________________

Apple Pie Shake

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk or water

    I have my own version of the apple pie one, definitely my fave. Another favorite of mine is vanilla protein, almond milk, peanut butter, and a banana. It's DELICIOUS.

    I make a "Orange Creme Shake" with orange psyllium powder (2 tsp) and a scoop of vanilla protein.

    Tops up fiber and protein at once.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana:
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    Milk
    Half a banana
    2 tbsp chocolate PB2
    Ice

    So freaking good. ETA I've made it with chocolate, but the taste is a bit off. Vanilla works better.

    Also, because I have no problem eating pumpkin year round:

    Pumpkin Protein Shake:
    Vanilla protein powder
    Milk
    1/2 cup pumpkin
    1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1 tsp brown sugar
    Ice


    Haven't ever used pudding mix, I'll definitely be trying the strawberry one...

    I recently had one with strawberries, banana, pineapple and toasted coconut with almond milk and ice. Kind of tasted like a banana split smoothie!

    Pineapple and coconut extract - piña colada

    Sugar free Toriani syrups..there are sooooo many flavors!!!

    Instant coffee & cacao powder - mocha (or just instant coffee or espresso, or use cooled coffee as your liquid)

    Or use Cooled herbal teas as your liquid (like chai)

    Also, you can add a handful of baby spinach to anything and you won't even taste it.

    I like to add PB2, a frozen banana, some almond milk, and a medjool date. A lot of times I only use a splash of almond milk and keep it super thick like ice cream, perfect dessert after my evening workouts.

    I always buy Chocolate PB protein because I think "eww vanilla is so bland, who can drink that stuff?!?"

    now I get it you smartie pants! I'm about 4/5 done my ChocolatePB protein and so sick of it! Vanilla is next! Thanks so much - Life saver!

    I add vanilla protein powder to oatmeal. It's really good with 1 cup of oatmeal (cooked in water), 1/2 cup berries (I use strawberries and blueberries), and 1 scoop of the protein powder. Sometimes I also add in cinnamon. The protein powder sweetens the oatmeal enough that I don't have to use sugar or other sweeteners.
