What do YOU do with your protein powder?

My favorite way to have it is to mix it with lo-cal chocolate milk, peanut butter and a banana.
Its pretty filling and tastes soooo good, but a little high on the calorie side. That's why I only have it after a weight workout. To give my muscle what they need after a heavy weight workout.
Otherwise, I mix it with skim milk or skim milk and fruit.
I tried it in Oatmeal and greek yourgart but didn't like it.
I've tried it in protein bars (made by someone else) and they were tasty.

has some shake ideas, I made the cake batter one today and thought it was pretty good.

^these (replace the coconut flakes with protein powder -or any dry ingredient, such as nuts or seeds- and either add the flaxseed or, if you're like me and never have that ingredient, replace it with more oats)

1 C. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
40 g. spinach
200 g. frozen strawberries
2 scoops Dr. Mercola's whey vanilla
100 g. Fage 0% fat Greek Yogurt
1 T. Frontier Vanilla
1 T. xylitol

Blend in the Vita-Mix. Delish....I have it several times a week for breakfast/after work-out.

I usually eat it with french cheese, or oatmeals. i never take it with water or milk. I also use it in lot of recipes.

I also snort it sometimes

maybe i should also try to inject it to my vain, perhaps it will work better, goes straight to your blood stream

Already tried, but with whey isolate, it turned thick mixed with red globules. next time I'll try to ask for whey concentrate

If you think whey isolate is bad, you should try the casein. Oy vey!

Have mixed it with pasteurized egg white, lol, but that doesn't help you, it was an effort not to do so many powders and be more natural, so it may be an option, ie, go for pasteurized egg whites instead but you would still prob need to hide the flavor, they are a bit yuki.
I have also added the chocolate flavored protein to oats in a morning, it was ok, but I find a straight protein drink the easiest.
If you really wanna make a fruit smoothie and use your powder that way, that is real nice, but well calories...


I mix mine with water not milk.

I made a Banana and Chocolate Smoothie with my protein powder this morning for breakfast.

Bananas - Raw, 85 g
Pauls - Trim Low Fat Milk, 200 ml
Balance - 100% Whey Protein Wpc/Wpi Powder: Chocolate, 30 g
Uncle Tobys - Oats - Traditional, 10g
Coles - Linseed Meal (Flaxseed),
Equal - Sweetner (Australia), 1 g (Sachet)

Super filling and very tasty!

I put it in smoothies, shakes, yogurt, oatmeal, cookies, cold oatmeal, and anything that it can mix well with

First find a protein powder you like the flavor of but here's my fave recipe. Choc Shakeology, half water, half skim milk, half a banana, tbsp greek yogurt blended, add an oz of sliced almonds and pour into popsickle trays and freeze. Its a delish, healthy and low cal frozen treat. You can also subsitute soy or coconut milk.

Myself, well I mix it with almond milk, ice, Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder, and some instant coffee granules. Protein mocha frappucino!

I've got to get some instant coffee to try this now.

Seems like a lot of you partied a little to hard in the 80's. Just can't shake the snorting habit, can ya? I personally like to take my whey as a straight shot. The tears, choking and gasping lets me know it's working.
