    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!

    I add a triple berry mix from walmart or if I am using it for breakfast I add a greek yogurt, I cant tolerate milk, to make it into a smoothie it comes out to about 200 calories. Plus it tastes great!!

    - One scoop of protein
    - Two tablespoons chia bran
    - One tablespoon psyllium husk
    - One teaspoon spirulina/greens
    - One tablespoon MCT
    - Half teaspoon cinnamon
    - One tablespoon instant coffee
    - One serve BowelBiotics with digestive enzymes

    And that's lunch! Doesn't taste super-amazing (I'm using wildberry flavoured whey at the moment, which is pretty tasty on its own), but man, this will sort you out.
