    If it is going to be breakfast or a large snack, my favorite is:

    1 scoop chocolate protein powder
    5 frozen strawberries
    handful of baby spinach
    1/3 of an avocado
    1 banana
    water or milk, depending on what I feel like

    creamy, huge, filling, and delicious

    Greek yogurt, berries, water, coconut oil or avacado, protein powder. Sometimes I add chia seeds or ground flax seed if I remember.

    water+powder

    I've read studies that say you want to have carbs in it (fruit etc), the insulin response helps the muscle cells to bring the protean inside the cell...I'm not an expert, just what I read.

    I always use 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 3 tbsp of Nutiva Hemp Protein & Hi Fiber powder, and 1/2 of a frozen banana. The rest I just improvise.
    Something that is delicious that a lot of people don't consider adding is carrots or dates. I love making,"carrot cake," smoothies with some cooked carrots, cinnamon, and ginger.
    Dates are amazing for naturally sweetening things, especially if you are trying to cut any processed sugar.
    Or add 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce to sweeten.

    1 to 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk (less = thicker shake)
    1 or 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
    1 to 1.5 frozen bananas (more = thicker)
    2 TBS unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder (this will be REALLY chocolatey)
    1-2 tsp Truvia, depending on your taste (or other sweetener of choice)
    big, healthy shake of good cinnamon

    Tastes like an ultra rich chocolate shake. Was my dinner tonight and it feels like I'm having dessert for dinner.

    When you use the pb2 do you out it in the shake as powder or do you mix it with water first then put it in?

    Just curious,

    I also think it makes a huge difference in the thickness of the shake depending on the order in which the ingredients are blended. I first blend the almond milk and pb, then add the powder and blend, then frozen banana and blend and finally the ice. It's just like a milkshake and it's great when i'm having reeses pb cup cravings!!
