PhD Diet Whey - White Chocolate

bumpity bump

Are you guys having these as a snack or a meal replacement?

For me- almost always it's a meal- usually breakfast.

1 large frozen orange or two small ones (peel before freezing)
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
2 cups of almond milk
1 drop of vanilla extract
5 ice cubes

..and blend it up reaaaal nice.

I also just recently started with shakes and I use Greek yogurt ones after workouts and whey ones in the morning with breakfast (in a to go cup on my way to work).

For the whey so far I have tried Jillian Triple Chocolate Shake and I like it very much.

1/2 scoop Jillian chocolate whey (you could use the whole scoop if you like)
3/4 cup light vanilla soy milk
1 tsp Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder
1 packet stiva
crushed ice
water to thin

For after workouts I love Greek yogurt and so far I like the following smoothie

1/2 cup Dannon Plain Non-fat Greek Yogurt
4-5 large strawberries
1/4 cup mango
lime juice
1/4 cup light vanilla soy milk
1 packet stiva
crushed ice
water to thin

It's pretty yummy and the fruit and citrus can be mixed around any which way. What I did find out the hard way this morning is that chocolate whey and Greek yogurt in the proportions I made it were GROSS. So, whey is good by itself and yogurt is best with fruit.

Ohhh, finally you could always crush in some nuts like almonds, pistachios, or walnuts for texture and added protein boost. AND you should search for LASSI recipes. These are Indian drinks with a Greek yogurt base and cool flavor/spice combos. I am going to make one this week:

1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup crushed ice
1 tbsp chopped pistachios
2 packets stiva
1/4 tsp ground cardamon
4 canned peach halves (I found sugar free ones) - this could also be sub-ed with fresh fruit like a mango

This makes 2 servings and sounds awesome. Happy blending!

I like to drink the following over 2 days

1 package spinach
2 cups frozen mixed fruit
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 serving size crystal light
1 teaspoon flax seed
2 to 3 cups of water

blend well and enjoy

bump for later
