I'm looking to adding a protein shake for a meal replacement for breakfast. Most of the time I don't have time to eat breakfast or I just skip it all together. ( I know how important breakfast is) I know you can buy flavored protein powders but what else if anything can I add to it so I don't get sick of the same thing everyday. Any suggestions?? :happy:

    I like to add pineapple (either fresh or canned) and some coconut extract (found in the baking section at any grocery store) to my vanilla protein and then it's like a Pina Colada!! Sooooo delicious, filling and healthy!! I also add some left over coffee sometimes for a mocha flavor and sometimes I add peanut butter (because I am addicted to PB!!!)

    I keep different kinds of frozen fruit in the freezer and add them to my Vanilla protein shake,making a new kind everyday..so I don't get bored.So I can have a strawberry one day and peach another,or any other flavors.You can also add some fruit like an orange,orange yogurt. and make a really tasty one.There are endless combinations.Enjoy!!

    If you like pumpkin pie: pumpkin, spices, vanilla protein powder, dairy milk/soy milk/ or yogurt.

    I also put chocolate protein powder in my oatmeal with a Tbsp of peanut butter...tastes like a no-bake oatmeal cookie!!

    After I train I usually have this:

    To 1 cup of water add -
    1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
    1 tbsp ground flaxseed
    1 tbsp crunchy raw peanut butter
    1 cup of fresh blueberries
    3 ice cubes

    Frappe that mother!

    Sometimes I'll substitute a banana for the blueberries. It's delicious and tastes like a milkshake. It's great after a hard workout!

    I use either Shaklee's Energizing protein (http://alturl.com/gdkro) or one of their Cinch (http://alturl.com/tuv46) products (I trust the integrity of their soy-growing and processing techniques) with either a banana, or frozen strawberries, peaches, or blueberries. I also use their Performance products for optimum hydration, when I'm working out: http://alturl.com/aus8m as well as any other time of my day. It helps to hydrate better than water alone.

    I never get tired of this one. It is my version of a Mean Mocha from Booster juice.

    1 scoop Chocolate protein powder
    1/2 frozen vanilla yogurt (chapmans is delicious)
    1/2 cup almond milk
    2 tablespoons instant coffee

    Thats it. Blend and enjoy.

    About 260 calories
