My husband and I have been experimenting with protein shakes lately. They are so fast and convenient! I just started using a new protein powder and it is downright gritty! Not my favorite.

What are some protein powders you enjoy? How do you mix your shake?

One of my favorites is chocolate powder, banana, almond milk, teaspoon of cocoa powder, 8 ice cubes. Froth it up and it is decadent. I'm open to any suggestions!

    I use Shakeology (chocolate) and mix with unsweetened almond milk, ice and peanut butter. I've made with banana as well, but my favorite is the peanut butter). It keeps me full until almost lunch...

    I've used Trader Joe's Whey Protein powder (vanilla) and I loved it! Also right now I'm using Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion (milk chocolate) and it's really good too.

    I prefer to mix them with a whisk b/c I don't like how frothy it gets in a blender or when I shake it up. So it can be a little gritty if I don't mix it long enough but otherwise I really enjoy them!

    I use Designer Whey (Vanilla). I mix 1 scoop with 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 tbsp flax seed, and 1/2 of a frozen banana. So delicious!

    I use Jillian's natural whey protein and mix it with unsweetened almond milk. I've only tried the vanilla and I love it!

    I use cytosport Muscle Milk and their 100% whey. I take the whey after I workout with water and the muscle milk before bed with almond milk.

    I use PHd Diet Whey, Belgian Chocolate flavour. Flavours nice, but I feel like I'm gonna be sick when drinking it (I think it's a mental thing). I mix mine with water as it's too thick with milk for me to drink.

    i use body fortress super advanced from walmart. i've tried vanilla, chocolate, and cookies n creme. they are all ok but they do have that protein grittiness that i don't like. i mix a scoop of powder in with a container of oikos plain greek yogurt and add some cinnamon. i'm not much on drinking just protein powder + water in shake form due to the texture. i really like the vanilla protein powder with blueberry greek yogurt and some cinnamon - it reminds me of eating blueberry pie... the grittiness is reminiscent of graham cracker crust (at least i tell myself that's what its like! haha)

    i also tried the protein mug cake last night... you take one scoop of powder (i used chocolate) and add one egg white. i also added some cinnamon, like 1/2 tsp (which completely covered the grittiness and protein taste of my powder), then microwave for 45 seconds. it is kind of rubbery, but i topped it with a container of plain greek yogurt, 80 grams fresh strawberries, and a tbsp hersheys lite syrup and it was GREAT.

    i also use body fortress super advanced from walmart. My favorite so far is the peanut butter chocolate. 1 scoop of that + one cup of unsweetened almond milk + a frozen banana + 5 ice cubes and a little bit of water. blend it all up and it is delicious. sometimes a few strawberries are good too. when I blend mine up it isn't gritty. that protein also isn't bad with just plain water if you want it to be lower calories. 1 scoop of the protein and one cup of the almond milk mixed tastes like chocolate milk!
