I use Isopure Unflavored Protein powder which I use in a lot of things, protein shakes, pancakes, mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes, etc. I have a hard time with flavored protein as I quickly develop an aversion to the flavors that I try and like at first. So I opted for the unflavored and have been using it for about a year now.

Here are two of my favorite smoothies. Keep in mind that I usually make these last a few hours so while it may seem like there's quite of big of sugar from fruits, I'm drinking this throughout the morning for breakfast and my morning snack.

Green Power Pina Colada
1 cup fresh pineapple (can used can if it's in 100% juice)
1 banana
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 8.4 can sugar-free red bull (optional - this is the "Power" part)
1-2 cups crushed ice (add less or more until you get the consistency you prefer)

*** I've tested this on people (husband, daughter, softball team, etc) who absolutely can't stand spinach and they still love it! *****

Pulp Power Fusion
1/4 Strawberry Nectar
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 banana
1/2 cup -1 cup orange sherbet (if you can find sugar-free, use it.)
1 8.4 can sugar-free red bull (optional - this is the "Power" part)
1-2 cups crushed ice (add less or more until you get the consistency you prefer)

I like to get creative with protein shakes... look into adding sugar-free jello or pudding mixes. These last FOREVER because you only need to generally use about a teaspoon, but they add some serious flavor!
