protein shakes?

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

HollyWood Buzz

1/2 banana or 1/2 Balance bar, any flavor (diced)
1 envelope hot chocolate mix
1 cup cold coffee
ice cubes

Blend & have for breakfast! Saw this recipe in Glamour magazine. I LOVE it.

Not really a recipe, but I LOVE to mix 8 oz of Almond Breeze Almond milk and a scoop of Jillian Michaels' Vanilla whey protein powder together after a workout....tastes just like a vanilla milk shake!

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!

My absolute favorite (and I've had many people try it, they love it too):

1 c. almond milk (or whatever you prefer)
1/2 c. frozen cherries
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp. peanut butter or 2 tbsp. powdered peanut butter

Blend and LOVE!!

I have literally DOZENS of recipes I've collected over the years. If interested, inbox me. Don't want to clog up this thread with recipes you may or may not want. Current faves of mine: Eggnog Protein Shake; Banana-Berry-Flax Protein Shake; Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake.

love all the recipes. Mines was getting old.....I love Jay Robb Vanilla Whey with strawberries, blueberries, half banana, flaxseeds, chia seeds, 1 cup of pinapple or apple juice and ice.

These all sound so yummy. I haven't really gotten into the adding phase yet. I add ice and banana to my Jillian Michaels Double Chocolate powder or just milk and powder since it it pretty good on its own. My next powder will hopefully have a higher protein content for the calories though.

Syntha-6 is amazing

indeed their vanilla ice cream flavor is delicious. *drool*


But... their calorie to protein ratio is too high for me.

Here's what i like to do below!
I dont use ice and prefer a thicker creamier shake!

Strawberry-Banana Shake
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana
2 scoops strawberry optimum nutrition whey
1/2 cup apple juice
(optional i throw in creatine)
Blend!


Chocolate Banana Shake
1 frozen banana
2 scoops chocolate optimum nutrition whey
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 packet of splenda
(if im feeling snazzy a squirt of chocolate syrup or even better 1/4 pint of blue bell's no sugar added vanilla ice cream)


Berry Berry shake
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 frozen banana
2 scoops strawberry optimum nutrition whey
1/2 apple juice



Best of luck!

Edit: by the way these all have 44+ grams of protein and less than 450 calories I should also probably mention (and i could be wrong) the ON whey is the best calorie/protein ratio at 22 grams protein for 120 calories. if you aren't feeling like cleaning the blender just use a blender bottle with 1 scoop whey, water/milk, packet of splenda and shake!
