    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.

    Splash of coffee

    Chocolatey goodness. :)

    I add about 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract to my vanilla protein mix with ice to make a homemade shamrock shake without the green coloring. Refreshing!

    I definitely have not been creative enough in my smoothies! I just tend to throw in some milk, protein powder and frozen fruit. (This is a thread about vanilla powder, but if you've got chocolate then try the following: 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup frozen raspberries and 1 T peanut butter. Tastes like dessert!)

    I always mixed it with OJ and thought it tasted like an Orange Julius!

    I also do the spinach!

    And I never thought of doing it with Chai! I will have to give that a shot. Like a chai frap or something.. Mmm.
