    one half of a banana
    whole milk
    two tbs of ovaltine
    one or two scoops of whey protein powder either flavorless or vanilla
    tbs of vanilla extract

    yumyumyum

    usually comes to about 200 something calories

    recently i have been drinking black coffee with whey protein powder, and ovaltine :D sometimes skim milk.

    My bf's friend made him one with ONLY whey and water. :sick:

    I had to laugh because he said it was gross. I put yummy stuff in his when I make them.

    I have one every day in the mid-morning, just a shot (1 scoop in ~6 oz of water).

    At home I'll sometimes mix it with fat free milk, or make what I call The Deluxe - milk, banana, and peanut butter. I let my macro count for the day dictate it.

    if i'm on the go, water.

    if i need a few extra calories for the day i use milk. i also use milk if i'm making a smoothie (chocolate whey, milk, peanut butter). today i put a little chocolate whey in my coffee and it was divine. can't wait to try it in iced coffee.

    1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla egg white protein powder, & 1 very loosely packed cup of frozen fruit - great for lactose intolerants.

    Vanilla powder with frozen fruit and water and lots of ice (maybe some greek yogurt)
    Chocolate - either with pb2 and water and ice, or with instant coffee and ice and a little stevia. Sometimes I do just chocolate and blend with water and cottage cheese and then add ice and blend.

    In my shaker bottle I use just water; if I'm using a blender I use skim milk, tbs. of natural peanut butter, tbs. of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a banana.
