    I just made this and it was sooooo good!

    1 scoop of vanilla flavored powdered protein

    half a banana

    2 T of peanut butter

    sprinkle of cinnamon

    1 c of vanilla soy milk (or your personal milk choice)

    Handful of ice

    Enjoy! :drinker:

    I do the same thing but instead of a sprinkle of cinnamon, 1tablespoon Nesquik and I don't add ice because I use frozen bananas. So yummy

    handful of ice
    3 oz water

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I have been trying to find something to replace my much missed Dunkin Donuts Large Iced Coffee with Half Cream and Half Sugar... this may do just the trick

    sounds good, I will try that, first I have to ask did you get the protein powder from wal-mart or a health food store and the vanilla soy milk, cinnamon?

    Walmart is probably cheaper. That's where I got mine and it's a soy-based protein. EAS Advantage. Soy milk just store brand-I got mine at Kroger.

    I use Body Fortress Whey Protein from Wal-mart. It's affordable and good stuff. I like the whey protein over soy because it's a little more refined and doesn't make me gassy. They have some great shake recipes on their site at www.bodyfortress.com. I've tried just abpout all of them. The Peppermint Patty shake was not good beacuse the amount of peppermint extract that the recipe called for was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too high and made it taste like Listerine!

    I make a simple smoothie by using 1 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, 1 cup frozen fruit (without added sugar), and one scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. It's not too sweet and give me fruit and protein as a treat or breakfast. I love using mixed berries or the mango/strawberry combo. If I have bananas I'll had half of one. I have added a 1/4 cup of OJ if it's too thick.

    This has been my favorite for awhile now:

    6-8 oz of Dole or Market Pantry Orange/Pineapple/Banana juice (it makes it taste a little more exotic or tropical than just plain OJ)
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1/4 cup honey flavored (or vanilla or plain) GREEK yogurt
    about 1/2 cup to 1 cup (get it from Costco) Wawona Festival blend frozen fruit (mango, pineapple, papaya & strawberry --- I find that frozen fruit is MUCH cheaper, lasts A LOT longer, you have more variety this way & it adds to the consistency)
    additional ice cubes as needed.

    I haven't made any other types since I concocted up this one. You can add half a banana or any other fruit.

    Adding the GREEK yogurt added a bit more protein and made it a lot more filling.

    I do one with vanilla protein, FF Frozen yogurt, cinnamon, and applesauce. It's an apple pie shake.


    How much of each ingredient do you use??

The Peppermint Patty shake was not good beacuse the amount of peppermint extract that the recipe called for was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too high and made it taste like Listerine!

    I use the Body Fortress Whey Protein from Walmart too, there are 5 flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Cookies & Cream.
    Whey protein is better than soy protein for a variety of reasons.
    So far I think my favorites are the strawberry and the Choco PB. The chocolate PB I can put in a shaker (sold for 2 bucks right next to the powders) with skim milk, shake the crap out of it, and drink it like that, no blender needed. It tastes like Reese's cups! The strawberry is good that way too.
    It's good on the go because I just weigh out a portion into a tiny tupperware and carry it with me with the empty shaker. Then any time you need it you can grab a 16 oz skim from a convenience store, shake and chug!

    The fancy recipes are yummy for at home, too, obviously, but my way is an awesome solution for when you're on the go and starving and thinking you have no healthy options! :)
