Whats in your shake??

I just bought Jillian Michaels Vanilla Cream -- can you say gross? I can. Gross.
I normally buy AMP Whey in Chocolate from GNC. I'm going to go back to that brand after I choke down this JM stuff,

I normally throw PB and a half a frozen banana with 1/2 c skim milk. It's pretty good!

Pre-Workout... 1 scoop of Whey, 1 Cup of Whole Milk, 1 Apple...
Post-workout 1 Scoop of Whey 1 Scoop of Casien, 2 Cups Whole Milk, 40 Grams of Dextrose

I use Optimun Nutrition Whey and Casien. the Vanilla is pretty good and doesnt clump much...

I make a smoothie with milk, yogurt, frozen fruit and a scoop of protein powder. I like unflavored protein powder, all the flavored ones I have tried are way too sweet for me.

I LOVE these! (I add a scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder, and leave the sugar out altogether)

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

I cannot wait to try this! My kids LOVE pumpkin pie so I'll bet they LOVE this!

Designer Whey Protein Powder- Chocolate, 1 scoop.
PB2 Peanut Butter Powder, 2 tbsp.
Almond Breeze Unsweetened Chocolate Milk, 8 oz.
1 semi-frozen banana
Cinnamon, 1 tsp.
Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, 1 tsp.

(As you can see, I like chocolate)

I vary up the fruit, sometimes bananas, sometimes strawberries. Sometimes I omit the cinnamon or the peanut butter powder. It all depends on what I am craving!

I usually use Optimum Nutrition extreme milk chocolate whey, a banana and 1% milk. If I'm trying to up the calories to make it more like a meal, I'll add in a tbsp or two of pb. Sometimes I also use dark chocolate almond milk.

I use Isopure Zero Creamy Vanilla (No carbs, no sugars). I like to add non-fat yogurt or greek yogurt and strawberries, blueberries, and PB* . . . makes it taste like a PB& J. Or sometimes I do cinnamon and apples to make an apple pie shake. I have also done orange to make like a Creamsicle type shake.

*You could also substitute the peanut butter with raw almonds or almond butter to still get the nutty taste

I usually use 1/2 dropper of Liquid Stevia and a little bit of Trader Joes Pure Bourbon Vanilla to add a little more taste.

I use Visalus. I make a variety but my favorite is chocolate almond milk, chocolate pb2. Tastes like a reese peanut butter cup.

These sound great! I'm new to thr protein shake world and have been experimenting with different flavors and combos.

I like: vanilla protein powder, oatmeal, 1/2 a banana, frozen mixed berries, almond milk, some ice cubes and spinach ... don't knock it till you try it!!

I accidentally bought ON's (Optimum Nutrition) Whey Protein in Chocolate, next time I'm definitely getting Vanilla. Their Chocolate Protein is good, but Chocolate doesn't mix well with everything. So currently I use ingredients that go well with Chocolate.

1 scoop of Whey Protein
1 Fresh Banana
1 cup of Silk OR 1 cup of Non-fat Plain Yogurt, or half of each
4-8 ice cubes depending on whether I use Silk or Yogurt

And on occasion I add
1/2 cup of Frozen Strawberries OR 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter



I have mixed berries and other frozen fruits for when I go through all my Chocolate Whey and am able to use Vanilla instead.

Have you tried her Chocolate? I am curious because I love her triple chocolate whey and was going to try her vanilla... now I am scared to spend the money if it will taste nasty :-/

I use the GNC Lean in vanilla bean & add frozen peaches (no sugar added) & fresh strawberries. It's delicious! - and this is coming from a girl who totally hates protein shakes.
