If you like gingerbread, Oxygen magazine has a recipe for a delicious Gingerbread cookie shake: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup vanilla enriched Rice Dream, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 T molasses, and ice cubes. Blend and drink ! Mmmmmm

I also like a Creamsicle, which is a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of vanilla protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat vanilla yogurt. Blend and drink.

The Protein Packed Pina Colada smoothie is blended with the following ingredients: Cup cottage cheese, cup canned pineapple or cup pineapple juice, half a frozen banana, half a cup of milk, 1 T coconut, half a scoop vanilla protein powder, and a cup of ice cubes.

The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with half an avocado, juice of a lime, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 T coconut, a cup of milk, and 1-2 packets of Stevia (optional).

The Chocolate Maple Shake is made by blending a cup of milk, 3 T protein powder, 1 T cocoa powder, and 1 tsp maple syrup

Last but not least, for a change, I blend a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat coffee yogurt. Also good!

I'm new to the world of protein shakes, but after investing/splurging in Quest's Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder, I've recently discovered a wonderful world I'm afraid I never wish to leave.
Really, that stuff is amazing - super sweet, yet it has wholesome ingredients and is nutritious! I strongly recommend it as it tastes well with just about any milk alternative (even water), nut butter, spice, etc. out there!
So far my favorite is this:
-1 scoop quest vanilla milkshake protein powder
-1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or original cashew milk works fine, too!)
-1 frozen peeled banana (make sure it has a lot of brown so the consistency is thick, not slimy)
-1-2 tbsp justin's maple almond butter (or trader joe's cookie butter is good, too!)

Really, everything tastes great with this stuff.

My absolute favorite "green" smoothie:
First blend together...
4 cups Kale
1 cup Almond Milk
Add...
1 frozen banana
1 tbsp creamy Almond Butter
dash of cinnamon
little squirt of raw local honey
1 tsp of black chia seeds

I have also added 1/2 of an avocado when I am using it as a total meal replacement.
