    We do the GNC chocolate flavored with ice, skim milk, a banana, and 2 tbls peanut butter. It's pretty good but I hate having the extra calories and fat from the peanut butter, so I'm interested to see what others have to say as well.

    I don't do sodas any more, but if you do, I think vanilla in diet orange soda is amazing -- tastes like a creamsicle!

    Ok, that sounds awesome :) I don't drink much soda these days, but that definitely sounds worth a try!

    I use a very grassy vegan protein powder and I find this completely masks it in shakes:

    1 scoop protein powder
    1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
    1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
    A medium banana
    1 tbsp. peanut butter
    2 squares Hershey's Dark Chocolate (from the 1.45 oz. bar)
    1/4 tsp. stevia (optional)
    Dash salt

    I blend it all up and freeze it for 30 minutes then re-blend and drink. When I have time, I just slice up a banana, lay it out on a dish, freeze it before hand and I can skip the re-freezing step altogether.

    I have never really been into using protein powder but can anyone tell me the benefits of putting it into your body. Do you do it before a workout/ after a workout? Can you all give me some info on protein powder.

    when you find out can you let me know?

    LOL No one is answering this question in here. I guess Ill have to post it somewhere else.

    I agree... I am not a fan of protein shakes, but I LOVE these!

    Oatmeal and peanut butter (this is usually what I have for breakfast, yum)
    Greek yogurt and cereal
    Milk and cereal

    And I like to sprinkle protein powder on my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches... it adds an interesting texture and tasty chocolatey flavor! haha

    Protein keeps you fuller (satiated) for longer
    It is recommended that you have protein at every meal - less impact on blood sugar levels
    Also, it aids muscle repair & recovery after weight lifting


    I hope this helps....

    I blend mine with plain yogurt, peanut butter, and banana and freeze it for frozen yogurt.

    My current favorite way is to mix with a couple tablespoons of water, an egg white, and a tbs of chunky peanut butter and fry in a pan over very low heat as pancakes. Super convenient and so good!

    I use strawberry flavored and mix it with Lactaid 100% skim milk. Too hot for oatmeal, so I'll have to remember that, and bananas are on the grocery list. lol

    I make green smoothies using protien powder of vanilla flavour. Bannana, spinach, some fruits ( frozen or fresh), water, flax seed, and blend in my vitamix blender.

    Good way to get in my fruits, greens and protiens.

    Good luck and keep moving.

    I make green smoothies for breakfast, and add the protein powder. I usually do this:

    Vanilla Latte Protein Shake

    1 Tbs chia seeds
    1 Tbs freshly ground flaxseeds
    150g frozen raspberries
    150g frozen spinach
    2 teaspoons instant coffee
    1 to 2 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream protein powder
    add water, sometimes ice cubes

    You don't even taste the spinach! Other times, I leave out the coffee and add chilled green tea, or spiked waters

    ETA: I forgot, sometimes I add stevia or xylitol... I have a bit of a sweet tooth...

    Nice, I also add acerola berry powder, wheat gress powder, spirulina powder and sometimes a dash of vitamin c powder. I wanted to keep it simple for most members. I love green smoothies.
