    -1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    -1/4 cup canned pumpkin

    PUMPKIN PIE PROTEIN SHAKE!

    I mix chocolate flavor protein powder w/ milk and pretend it's chocolate milk.

    Any advice on how to make protein shakes taste better! Or is there a really good tasting one out there. I need to drink a protein shake to help with my protein intake as well as to keep me full longer but I can't stand the taste

    I hate those drunks too so I make my own, I use Bluebonnet dual action french vanilla protein powder from Amazon. I mix it with a banana or raspberries or other fruit plus milk. I usually add a packet of Splenda as well. They're really yummy and not at all chalky.

    This looks good...I drink Atikins chocolate delight, its the only one I like and I can keep some in my file drawer at work. I think I will buy some of their vanilla (yes I know its a soy formula but I like its vitamins and ease to use in a pinch)....but anyway, I think I could mix up some of their vanilla with some pumpkin pie spice and enjoy it over ice. Nice irea

    Oh wow, do not drink it on its own!!! Most are horrendous that way!!!

    My favourite is the chocolate whey protein at Costco (leanfit?), 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, handful spinach, 3 ice cubes and blended in the magic bullet. Sometimes I add greek yogurt, PB2 or a banana.

    I LOVE my protein shake in the morning - look forward to it and have had one almost every day or TWO YEARS! So filling!!!

    I find plant based protein drinks taste the best, I also think they are better absorbed into the body but I could be wrong there.

    The BSN Dessert powder is so good. I have a very strong sweet tooth and I really like it. I got the chocolate and the whipped vanilla cream and I like the chocolate better because the vanilla is a bit too much vanilla for me. I make it with unsweetened almond milk and sometimes add in PB2 or a tablespoon of malted milk powder. I mix with ice too. When I use just the vanilla I always add the PB2.

    I mix protein powder (either Optimum Nutrition double rich choc or vanilla ice cream) in my daily snack of 6oz Fage 2% plain yogurt and 200ish grams raspberries and strawberries. Fiber, protein(lots) and a little fat, yum

    I like the premier protein, strawberries and cream flavor. It comes as a liquid instead of a powder, so no nasty protein clumps.

    If you hate them why drink them? I just don't understand

    It was recommended that I drink some form of protein drink to help me feel full longer. I only get 1220 calories per day and to get 64 grams of protein a day i would have to eat nothing but leAn meats because I can't do dairy

    You only need 64 grams of protein and you can't do it without a shake? That's crazy talk. 64g of protein is 256 calories out of your 1220 total for the day. Anyone can manage that easily.

    ^^This. I hit 126g protein in 1241 cals (omitting my nightly chocolate from this). The 12 I got from the half scoop of protein powder flavoring my plain yogurt is bonus., pushing me to 138. 35 of those are dairy. Still would be at 90ish, minus dairy and minus protein powder.

    My husband blends vanilla protein powder, orange juice, and ice. It tastes like an orange julice.

    Special K protein shakes are a joke. We're talking about 20 or more grams of protein per shake. I love Premier Protein or Pure Protein in Chocolate or Vanilla.

    Svelte makes really good protein drinks that don't taste like protein drinks. The french vanilla is the best. You can usually only get them at health food stores. They come in little cardboard packages.

    I always make a shake.. chocolate protein powder with chocolate frozen yogurt. Yummy. Just make sure you have the calories for it.

    I make it with almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and instant coffee, and ice. I add a bit of PB if I have the calories. Coffee, chocolate, and pb might sound gross but it's one of the recipes I learned when I worked at Jamba Juice.

    Now I wish I had enough wiggle room in my diet for one of those tonight :laugh:

    I absolutely love Spirutein Chocolate. And I love it with iced water... not milk. It's way too thick with milk.
