Protein Shake recipes that actually taste good?

Hello, one of my favorite concoctions is this:
1-2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 scoop protien
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Ice and water! (Add however much you want depending on how thick you like your shake). hope this helps!

I like to add cocoa powder and extracts to my vanilla protein powder (i.e cocoa & mint, cocoa & raspberry/strawberry, cocoa & coconut). Kids can drink protein powder as well, but since it is a supplement I would recommend they receive it from their regular diet.

1c vanilla ice cream
1.5c orange juice
2 scoops vanilla whey

It probably won't hurt your kids, but whether or not it's good for them (thinking bigger picture) is up to you and your family. Kids are governed/limited more by what we have in the house and what we cook for them than they are by hectic schedules, work lunches, etc. I guess if I were going to do something like a shake for my kids, I'd do something like the carnation instant breakfast drinks. But that's just me.

1 cup frozen berries, or a frozen banana; 1 ice cube; 1 cup almond or coconut milk (you could use soy for even more protein); 1/4 cup low fat ricotta or Greek yogurt; 2 scoops Chocorite protein powder. The frozen fruit and ice cube result add to the thickness, the ricotta or yogurt add to the richness. Very tasty and filling, about 320 calories, 11g fiber, 26g protein. One favorite combination of mine is chocolate protein powder plus a frozen banana or frozen cherries. I'd add flax or chia but I can't because of the blood thinner I'm on. The peanut butter-banana combo above sounds great, too.

Yeah, frozen banana is the key. Also, when avocados start to go bad, it's a great way to use them. Cut them into 1/4s and freeze. I go to Cabo often and there's a coffee bar on the beach there that serves a "Milky Way" shake. It's Coconut Milk, Almonds, a frozen Avocado and Vanilla Protein Powder. Avocados add the same creaminess of a banana with much less carbs.

Another favorite of mine is Vegan Mocha flavored protein powder, unsweeted Cashew Milk, frozen banana (you don't even know the banana is in it) and some Cacao Nibs. Think like a Coffee Chip Mocha Frozen drink.

My wife loves OJ, Vanilla Vegan Protein powder and frozen pineapples and just a bit of frozen banana. She might add some mango in hers too. Great after a long cardio day.

We have freezer bags of bananas, berries, pineapple, mango and sometimes avocados too. We buy when on sale, cut and freeze. The avocados are tricky to get apart though. They freeze together into a mess so we use smaller sandwich bags on those. There's also one international grocery store that sells overripe bananas for like 19 cents a pound.

I use garden of life vanilla chai organic protein. Mix it with some soy milk, lemon and add in a teaspoon of chia seeds. It's simple, but I really love it.

Where I get mine they have a taste station. (Popeye's)

Maybe look for a place like that where they let you taste before buying.

I buy "Isogold" and like peanut butter chocolate flavour.

Frozen banana and/or frozen coffee ice cubes make a lot of protein shakes taste better. You might need a different protein if you don't like what you have by itself. See if you can get some single trial packets. I emailed Quest and they sent several to me. I also tried PEScience. My favorites are Quest Salted Caramel and PEScience Snickerdoodle (but their peanutbutter cookie is also really good.) I'm not a huge fan of either brand's chocolate powders even though I usually love chocolate--I think its too sweet or something.

Adding fresh or frozen strawberries to a chocolate protein shake, is one of my favorites!
