So this is dead simple, but probably the most delicious shake I ever had.

400 mills of milk
1 scoop Whey 80 Vanilla protein
2 Bananas

Run it all through the blender. Can use less milk and 1 banana to cut calories, still frickin amazing.

    Haha, you're speaking my language! For just pure indulgence I would keep it at the peanut butter, oooohh or maybe some mango aswell!

    Sorry, but chocolate trumps vanilla.

    bananas. you had to go ruin it with bananas.

    great that it works for you though. and nice to see someone else who likes the plain vanilla flavour in their protein powder.

    Yeah I always loved vanilla. The last time I used protein powder it was a little too plasticy in flavour but the industry really worked out their flavours over the last decade and now it's tasting just amazing. I also always loved bananas and that coupled with vanilla is really just a winning combo for me. It's basically a desert for lunch and I am actually looking forward to it every day.

    I realize taste is a subjective thing, and @trigden1991 I'll be sure to give you your 3k smoothie for when I wanna bulk.. You know, after the first 50kgs of fat is gone. :smirk: Actually thinking about it it shouldn't be too hard. Double cream, peanut butter, chocolate sauce and salted caramel (with your added protein scoops of course) topped with whipped cream. Should do the trick!

    i know how you feel, just take a slightly different path. mine is frozen plain-yogurt cubes with some kind of berry in it, and the vanilla protein. i started out adding the yogurt to try and kill that faint metallic-weird of the protein powder, then the berries to tamp down the yogurt's sourness . . . now i'm just hooked. milkshake for breakfast muahahahaha. who says that you have to grownup?

    Me, too, generally. That's because I find that vanilla mixes well with pretty much everything I'd put in a shake.

    This shake sounds OK, but fairly boring. I guess if you absolutely looooooove bananas, this would seem better.

    I detect a distinct lack of peanut butter.

    I live in scandinavia so I buy from gymgrossisten.no. It is the cheapest alternative where I live and so far the tastiest I tried. It's whey based and I think that's the best alternative in terms of blending. I will have to try it with yoghurt and have that for breakfast instead of my usual eggs before going to the gym at some point, sounds nice!

    I have a profound love for both banana and vanilla. They are probably my two favourite things within their category, and as far as flavours I like to keep things simple and taste what's actually in there. I am a bit of a foodie so I like to maximize the flavor of what's there, cooking caloric restrictive stuff and pushing the most flavour out of it has been a really fun challenge! Definitely going to try the peanut butter option tomorrow though, it sounds amazing aswell.

    Not strictly on topic but the best shake I've ever had was the PB&J at Hollywood Studios, Disney World.

    Or or! The Kinder Bueno shake at that burger place in Hampstead, I forget the name, no matter given it's in London so moot for most users.

    I don't know what they have (Jeg kigger på min mobil lige nu), but I often order from bodylab.dk which has zero calorie syrups (similar to Walden farms if you're in the US).

    If you can get you hands on these I highly recommend them! They also have powdered peanut butter (just like PB2), which is also awesome.

    If you're watching your calories you can easily make a shake with:

    Skyr (I like the laktosfri arla)
    Frozen banana
    Chocolate zero syrup
    Pb2 powder

    Or sometimes I'll do:
    Skyr
    Frozen banana
    Frozen strawberries
    Raspberry Zero syrup


    Experiment away!

    If we're going to talk about the best shakes EVER...

    Katz Deli "cheesecake shake" is my hands down favorite. Three scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, full fat milk, and an entire slice of New York style cheesecake blended and topped with additional whip cream, graham cracker crust, and strawberries. I'm not 100% certain, but it has to be over 1,500 calories by itself
