    Special K is terrible and full of carbs and sugar. How are you currently making your shakes?

    With Chocolate you can do a lot one of my favorites is simple:

    1 scoop chocolate protein powder
    Ice (I use 8-10 cubes)
    1 Cup Spinach
    1 Tablespoon Butterscotch Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding Mix
    1 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
    Walden Farms Caramel Syrup

    My two favorites are Raw Fit and any flavor of Plant Fusion. Both are clean, vegetarian protein powder blends that are free of soy, wheat and dairy.

    Hiya

    I use JuicePLUS - you can choose what to mix them with (come in Vanilla or chocolate), there are some great recipes (including adding fresh fruit).

    My favourite is:
    Vanilla powder
    200ml Alpro Dark Chocolate Almond Milk
    100 ml water
    crushed ice
    & blitz!
    I have been told (but haven't tried yet) that if you then add orange essance, it tastes like a terry choc orange, or peppermint essence for an Aero! lol

    The complete shakes have 4 uses:

    1) weight control (full of nutrients & can be used as a meal replacement
    2) Pre exercise energy drink
    3) Post exercise recovery drink
    4) Nutritional supplement

    It's 16.50 for a tin (12 servings per tin).
    (I am a rep for them - but if you check my diary you will see that I use the products myself on a daily basis).

    I love love love Vemma Bode Chocolate Ice Cream shakes... I drink at least one a day and make it with 2% milk. For a total of 16 grams of Protein. Add mix to milk in a container and shake it up, so easy.

    I have created something pretty tasty from my yucky chocolate powder (also forget the name).

    1 scoop yucky powder
    couple handfuls of ice
    1 cup of milk (choco is great - white works too though)
    2 small oatmeal cookies
    2 tablespoons peanut butter
    400 cals +/-

    PB and oatmeal really mask the flavor of the yucky powder.

    I think banana would be a great addition to my oatmeal PB shakes!
