    I make mine up in baggies and freeze. Kale, spinach and fruit. Then when I'm ready to make it in the morning I dump it in the blender with a quarter cup of OJ, ice, and vanilla protein powder. Just tastes like fruit. Easy.

    Magnum quatro, vanilla or chocolate. The yummiest, smoothest, and only 140 calories, .5 grams of sugar. Great reviews online too :)

    I mix my protein in with my morning smoothie. I do a banana, strawberries, ice and fitmiss vanilla chi protein powder. So yummy!

    I use Orgain. I like the texture if I make a smoothie in the blender with a banana and soy milk, or mix it into some overnight oatmeal. If you just stir it into whatever liquid you want to use, it's awful.

    I make a protein shake using 1 or 2 servings of liquid egg whites(protein), 1/2 frozen banana, cocoa powder, almond milk or water, ice and -other mixed fruit or pbII if desired- the amount of water will make it a shake or a protein bowl - I eat mine with a spoon like a frosty from Wendy's.

    I use a protein powder in the AM sometimes, usually only on days that I "work out". It's just quicker and easier and saves me time, but I will usually just try to have 2 eggs to get my protein (I can get about the same protein for less calories with eggs over powder drink).

    That said, I just use the Body Fortress chocolate powder from Wal-Mart. It's like $17.88 for a whole tub, and I'm cheap and not picky. I've never noticed it to be gritty, but I'm not the most discerning consumer, either. And like I said, I'm not picky.

    I find that Optimum Nutrition blended with almond milk and a banana, blueberries or some other fruit is great. Very filling and appetizing.

    I'm not a big fan of drinking my foods - it makes me hungry.

    As an alternative option which takes me under 4 mins to make in the morning I have 100g scrambled egg whites with spinach, mushroom, ham over a slice of white farmhouse toast, sprinkled with cheese and black pepper and a huge mug of coffee

    27g protein for 275 calories
    (cartons of egg white, frozen spinach, sliced honey roast ham and pre-grated mature cheddar cheese)

    This actually sounds delicious and I loathe eggs.
