Not sure if you have as a friend "gooteek " but he is always putting his shake recipes on his profile and from what I can tell he is tries something different every day. He has some pretty good ones and I have tried one or 2. He uses Shakeology but you can us any protein powder.0

plain fat free yogurt
frozen strawberries (that were bought fresh -frozen at home)
fresh blueberries
a few spinach leaves
your choice natrual sweetner0 -
Try using soy or almond milk instead of normal milk, more protein. Also throw some berries in, they are great anti-oxidants and taste great. Sometimes I also like to throw in one scoop of frozen yogurt, it adds something cold and creamy and is a much better alternative to ice cream. Depending on what fruit you put in, a tsp of cinnamon adds a great flavor and is great for your metabolism and regulating blood sugars (goes really well with banana).
Hope that inspires some ideas!!0 -

Almond milk (40 cal.), 2TBS. almond butter, scoop vanilla protein powder, ice (sometimes a cup of coffee)
Fage greek yogurt (1/2 c.), 1 cup froze mixed berries, or 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries, almond milk, ice, pro. powder
1 cup skim milk, powder, cup of coffee.
Fage yogurt, skim milk, pro. powder, sugar free choc. syrup
Good luck!!!0 -

Vanilla protein powder
Unsweetened cocoa powder (should be like 20 cal per serving)
1-2 Very ripe bananas to get the most natural sweetness possible
Skim Milk, or your choice of dairy substitute
Optional: Additional sweetener to taste0 -
For a super super quick breakfast, I blend 1 can chocolate Slim Fast and 1 cup frozen berries.0

I usuallly buy the frozen fruit and just use 2% milk. Works pretty well for me. Or you can use fresh fruit.
I cup of fruit and 1 cup of milk.0 -

I recommend them to anyone!!! I can give you a link to explain more if you want! Feel free to add me for encouragement or any questions you have!0

1 cup of frozen fruit (Target makes a frozen tropical mix of bananas, pineapples, mangos and peaches)
1 cup of V-Fusion Light juice (Acai Mixed Berry or Concord Grape Raspberry are my faves)
Absolutely delicious and couldn't be easier. If I'm having one after a workout, I throw a scoop of soy protein powder in the blender with them.0 -
Summer fruit smoothies are some of my favorites! I like green smoothies because of the high nutrition content, but you could leave that part out. I shop at farmer's markets for fresh, organic, in season fruits. Frozen could be used instead. Toss this stuff in a good blender!
Mango Peach Smoothie
1 mango (pealed and seeded)
2 peaches (seeded)
3/4 cup Goodbelly Mango flavor (or just use water)
1/2-3/4 cup filtered water (blend and add more to thin as needed)
1 1/2 cup spinach (1 generous handful) (optional but YUMMY!)
1/4 block tofu (optional, add to increase protein content, I use Silken Sproutofu when I add this)
Mango Pineapple Smoothie
Same as above only replace peaches with 1/4 of a fresh cut pineapple
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
1/2 pint blueberries
1 banana (pealed)
3/4 cup Goodbelly Blueberry Acai flavor (or just use water)
1/2-3/4 cup filtered water (blend and add more to thin as needed)
1 1/2 cup spinach (1 generous handful) (optional but YUMMY!)
1/4 block tofu (optional, add to increase protein content, I use Silken Sproutofu)
variations: 1 pint blueberries and leave out the banana
replace blueberries and banana with 1/2 pint strawberries
Will post my winter smoothies another time.
ENJOY!
PS: I have to be milk and diary free...so no yogurt or milk in these.0 -
I usually blend 4oz of almond milk, 4oz of low fat yogurt, 1 Tbs of peanut or almond butter and 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries. Sometimes I add a handful of baby spinach. Add ice for a thicker, colder smoothie. Fills me up for hours.0

I usually do this rather then a protein shake, they're too sweet for me.
Berry shake:
1 cup frozen no sugar added mixed berries
1/4 to 1/2 cup fage Total 0% Greek yogurt
1 cup rice dream
1 scoop Procel unflavored protein powder
1 heaping tsp whole husk psyllium powder
You can use different types of frozen fruit and sometimes I halve the berries and add a whole banana.0
