These are good idea's! I am so lazy, I just get the Yoplait Smoothies and add milk and protein if needed. I will have to try these.

I buy a 2kg bag of frozen fruit for 10$. It is packed with strawberries/melon/peach/grapes. I put some of those in the blender with milk and protein powder. It makes a delicious thick and cold smoothie. Beautiful stuff.
I also freeze my own bananas since they are so cheap too, and sometimes I add yogurt if I have some.0 -
I made one today and it was pretty yummy.
1 banana
1 c. strawberries
1 c. milk (I used 1%)
1 scoop Optimum Nutrition Extreme Chocolate protein powder0 -
Can protein shakes keep you full? Or is that why w add the ground oats?
the oats will help. so will ice. for me anyway the thicker the shake is the fuller i feel. somehow it tricks my mind into thinking i'm full, but remember you still want to eat 5-6 small meals a day
i wouldn't recommend having a shake at 7am and then not eating again until noon.
ok cool and do I grind the oats myself or is something I get from the store?
This might sound crazy buttttt [lol] what if i cooked the oats first then added them to the shake and blended it all up. Would that be nasty?
you can grind them in a coffee grinder
or yes you can cook them first and just put them in the blender. it is an acquired taste like i said. it will make the shake a bit gritty
yogurt is another good thing you can add to thicken up a shake. Liberte makes some high protein yogurt that i really like.0 -
1 scoop of body fortress cookies n cream protein
5-6 frozen strawberries
1/4 cup of plain nonfat greek yogurt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 banana
1 tbsp organic honey
2 tbsp ground flax seeds.
add water for a smooth blend.
You can also sub the banana for frozen blueberries or raspberries.0 -
I don't do anything all that exciting, but here goes:
8 oz skim milk
1 scoop (34 g) Pure Protein Vanilla Creme protein powder
1 cup frozen berries(you can use fresh, but frozen makes it really thick, like a milkshake)

I drink chocolate Shakeology every day. I make it with 1 cup unsweetened Almond Breeze chocolate almond milk in my shaker cup and then let it sit in the refrigerator until it gets really cold and thick. Tastes like a double chocolate milkshake for only 185 calories.
