So I've never tried a protein shake before, but I've heard they're good for after a workout. Over the weekend I found some single serve packets of whey protein and soy protein and decided to try it out. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of shakes to make with them though. Does anyone have any favorite protein shake recipes they would be willing to share with me?

(btw the protein flavor is creamy vanilla)

Thanks!

    I use Jillian Michaels protein powder (vanilla) and use it for breakfast sometimes

    I add 2 TBS of fat free greek yogurt
    Any fruit - ie berries, bananas, whatever you like
    I scoop of protein powder
    water (amt is according to instructions)

    I mix the greek yogurt and water first using a hand blender
    Then a I blend in the protein powder
    Then I blend in the fruit.

    Tastes less powdery this way

    I found my NEW FAVORITE last night!

    2 scoops Chocolate Whey protein powder
    1 Tbsp Peanut Butter
    6-8 ounces Fat Free or Skim Milk
    2-3 ice cubes

    Throw it all in a blender, blend until smooth!

    Tastes like a peanut butter cup. Wonderful, especially since I have been craving Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs.... :)

    I made my own. Old Fashion Oats,+ nesquick (chocolate or straberry), add all ingredients to a food processor until resemble power. Blend few tablespoon of the power mixture to a glass of fat free fat milk and blend everything together. I use sugar free chocolate, so taste it and add honey or aguave to it.

    I use Optimum Nutrition (cookies and cream)

    Tastes good enough to mix with 250ml of soy milk and drink straight up - no extra ingredients required

    I do almost the exact same recipe as rchupka87 does.

    1 banana
    1-2 scoops whey protein
    2 tblsp peanut butter
    2-3 cups of ice
    1 cup fat free milk
    A few dashes vanilla extract (optional)

    Blend it up. When I use two scoops protein, I usually split this with Kellybean, as it can make lot!

    I love adding vanilla protein powder to green smoothies for a protein boost and to make them creamy. Here is a recipe for my favorite green smoothie using protein powder (reminds me of a PBJ):

    1 scoop vanilla protein
    1 frozen banana cut into small slices (fresh works also, but shake will be less thick)
    1-2 TBSP of natural peanut butter (depends on calories I have available)
    8-10 strawberries depending on size of strawberries
    4 cups of baby spinach leaves

    Blend strawberries with 2 TBSP of water to form a liquid. Then add spinach leaves and blend until leaves are fully blended into the liquid. Add protein powder and blend again. Add natural peanut butter and blend. Then add frozen banana slices and blend. Grab big glass and enjoy. Depending on protein powder used and amount of peanut used, calories will vary. Mine are just under 500 calories using 2 TBSP of PB, but I tend to drink this one as a meal replacement. Enjoy!

    My absolute favorite is just 2tbls of peanut butter, water according to directions, and 1 scoop. (I put it into the freezer for like 15 minutes to make it super cold...just like a milkshake, but much better for me!)
