I buy a No Bake Cookie protien shake from a gym that isn't my own every lift day. It's amazing! But, it's also $4.50 every time! And, I have powder at home. I tried to make it myself today after my workout and that was a huge FAIL!!!! Didn't even taste close to it.

Anyone have good recipes that you make for your shakes at home? Other than the basic milk and powder?

The one I eat that I love has pb, oatmeal, milk, water, ice, and chocolate protein powder.

1c Organic Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 c frozen blueberries
1 banana
1 scoop protein powder
handful of ice
YUM!:drinker:

1 scoop vanilla protein
1 jar of baby food carrot flavor
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
stevia, vanilla extract, allspice, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon to taste
tastes like pumpkin pie/carrot cake

1 scoop chocolate protein
pb2
1/2 banana
3 strawberries
chia seeds (optional)
1 cup almond milk

1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup milk/almond milk
cinnamon, stevia, allspice
1/2 cup oats
...apple pie


1 scoop vanilla protein
3/4 cup cottage cheese
strawberries
1 cup almond milk
stevia to taste
- strawberry cheesecake (you dont need the protein powder if you dont want, still high in protein w/ cottage cheese)

mMmMmMm i've made so many shake concoctions...the best ones are the ones you literally throw together haha

You could try this to see if its similar to what you buy. This is one of Chocolatecoveredkatie.com's many fab recipes. I add protein powder to all her milkshakes. I use plain but I am sure vanilla or even chocolate powder would work.

Sugar Cookie Milkshake

(serves 1)

2/3 cup milk of choice (try canned coconut milk for an ice-cream-like shake)
1 frozen, over-ripe banana or 1/2 cup of your favorite ice cream (see nutrition link below, for my many substitution options!)
scant 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
optional: 1-2 tbsp raw cashew butter (I like to add this)
optional: add cinnamon for a snickerdoodle shake!

Blend everything together until very smooth. Don’t add ice; it will dilute the flavor.

I drink vanilla T7 protein shake. I mix it with 1 cup of milk and 1/2 packet of Crystal Light orange. Tastes like a creamsicle.

I know the crystal light is horrible for you and filled with chemicals but I just can not choke protein drinks down any other way. I also can't stand the taste of protein bars. I'll find one I like for a few bars, then it will start to taste like chemicals to me.

The Thrive T7 protein powder is available here, if you're interested: http://thriveweightloss.com/products/303-thrive-t7-protein-powder

It's really good for protein powder.

omg YUM i never thought of putting crystal light in protein shakes... i always put 1/2 packet of crystal light mixed in my greek yogurt though....now THATS yummy!!
