Share your favorite protein shake recipes! I'm looking for new ideas. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Coffee Coolatta Shake:
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder (pretty good with vanilla too)
6 oz. unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
3-4 ice cubes
1 tbsp. nutella
1-2 tsp. instant coffee (to taste)
SO good!

Peanut Brittle Shake (got this one from bodybuilding.com)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
6 oz. unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
3-4 ice cubes
1 tbsp. natural chunky peanut butter
1 tbsp. jello sugar free instant butterscotch pudding mix

    I like to mix ice in a blender with a chocolate low carb slimfast, 2 Tbs PB2 (and a small banana unless if you aren't allowed the calories). Extremely good and satisfying, if you omit the banana it tastes like a Reeses shake.

    This is not a smoothie protein shake...but rather just a protein drink...either way it's super good.
    1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
    1 packet of any flavor of Crystal Light (the strawberry is my favorite - but I've been trying to reduce my intake of fake sugar so lately I've been using their "Pure" line. No chemicals)
    Fill with water to your desired taste - eg: less water = stronger flavor
    Shake and enjoy!
    Low Calorie High Protein! ;-)

    Holy geez, I just have to say thank you to those of you who are sharing recipes. I'm still reeeeally new to this, so I'm still stuck in the "I'll just buy a bunch of pre-made shakes from Costco" mindset. These are wonderful, and you can get so creative with them!

    Pina Colada Protein Shake
