    What brand are you using? That makes a big difference. I use Jay Robb's 100% whey vanilla. I typically add half a banana to thicken it, some ice to make it really cold, and then whatever flavorings - right now I'm on a Crystal Light cherry pomegranate kick so I'm adding a bit of that to it and it tastes very yummy. You can flavor them that way. You can also add coffee if you like a cold coffee drink.

    Do a search for protein shake recipes - there are a ton of suggestions!

    Thank you, some amazing ideas, especially love the coffee ideas, I think I need to switch my protein powder to vanilla to be able to make them though :)

    If you like coffee, Reaction Nutrition has a seasonal pumpkin spice latte flavor out right now. It is soooo good with unsweetened almond milk. I wake up craving it in the mornings. Sometimes I add a little coffee as well. I haven't had great luck adding protein powder to my coffee (for me it clumps really badly) but if I mix a chocolate or vanilla protein powder with water and then just add a little coffee, it's good. Good luck!

    Dymatize Protein and water..... yum!! mixes smooth and quick. but if im after a "shake" ill add 2 scoops protein, whole milk(1/2 cup), a few ice cubes, 1/2 banana, and 2 Tbsp of natural peanut butter. loads of protein, and good carbs/fat....
