    I don't drink a lot of shakes but my favorite would have to be Chocolate Cherry one I make

    1/2 cup frozen cherries
    1 cup coconut milk
    1/4 c 100% pomegranate juice
    1 scoop chocolate whey
    ice if you like
    blend all together

    SO good!

    This is my favorite one. Plus a ton of ice. Sometimes I put 1/2 a frozen banana. q87jgu77ahd5.jpg

    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.

    Muscle milk chocolate or the Arnold Schwarzenegger's vanilla protein. They are great with only water. My favorite shakes right now. 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of kale, little strawberry, bananas, 2% mil, and orange juice. Sometimes I add beets.

    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.
