What's your Protein/Nutritional Shake Recipe?

It's a lot like yours, actually. I usually do them after a hardcore kickboxing workout.

1 frozen banana
1 cup Lactaid chocolate milk (or any kind of chocolate milk)
2 Tbsp PB2 chocolate
1 scoop Green Foods chocolate wheat grass powder (can you see the theme? )

It's like heaven in a blender. And at 330 calories, it would make a great meal replacement. But I like it as a treat...but only after a hardcore workout.

My favorite right now is apple pie!

2 Scoops Herbalife Formula 1 Vanilla
1 Scoop Protein Vanilla
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Frozen Apple cut into chunks
1 Cup of Skim Milk
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
Dash of ground cloves
Unsweetened Apple Sauce (optional)

I think people are talking about the huge fruit smoothies you'd get at a juice bar or coffee shop -- 20 ounces of pure sugar, and people think it's health food because there's fruit in it. But if you watch what goes in it, smoothies can be healthy. For me, it's about all I can stomach first thing in the morning, and getting that good fuel in early makes such a huge difference in how good I feel the rest of the day. I use:
- Whey protein powder (from antibiotic-free, no-added-hormone cows...can't find organic here) (1 scoop = 18g protein)
- Oikos organic greek yogurt (4 oz container = 12g protein)
- Almond milk (if you've only tried Silk and don't like it, other brands are much less thick in consistency) (1/2 cup)
- Organic flax oil (1 tbsp)
- Spices (depends on the day, but usually some mixing of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom)
- Psylium fiber (1-2 tsp)

Mine is 323 calories, but 110 of that comes from the flax oil; I'm good with that considering I won't eat fish.

My go-to right now is:

1 TB Chocolate Shakeology
1/2 c almond milk
1/2 c water
1/2 c frozen cherries
1 TB SF FF Cheesecake Pudding Mix

have you tried the vegan yet..... im a beachbody coach and want to start the shakelogy next month

I LOVE my protein shakes! I try different things just to mix it. Some have proven to be not a good combo but you never know until you try it out. I agree with a earlier post that its all about what you put in it that makes it unhealthy. I have at least one a day for breakfast. You can alter the ingredients so make it a snack instead of meal.

I alternate between greek yogurt or protein powder
Fruit of choice (usually use freeze it so I don't have to use ice)
Water and/or milk (I just pay attention to the calories in the milk I pick)
Natural peanut butter
Oatmeal

My favorite is my powder, water, little milk and fruit. Toss it into single serve blender cup pulse and walk out the door.

My current fave is Chocolate Vegan Shakeology, one scoop with 10 oz partially frozen coconut milk...bangin good and a full day's worth of veggies in a chocolate shake! Life is GOOOOOD! lol

I love good fruit in my protein shakes! Generally, I've been gravitating towards:

- A banana
- 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup of 1% milk
- Scoop of vanilla whey protein powder

Nice and sweet but healthy. The frozen fruit "thickens" the overall shake. Low fat. With a full banana and the fruit, I'm generally clocking in about 375-400 calories... which works quite well for my diet. Everything can be reduced easily though, half a banana or skim milk can drop the calories while still providing a tasty protein heavy shake.

I generally am aiming for a 2:1 carb:protein ratio in my shakes. Spiking your insulin can increase your muscle's ability to uptake protein, and if you're eating at a deficit, you don't really need to worry about insulin spikes and fat gain.

8oz water.
1 tbsp natural PB.
1/4 cup oats.
1 teaspoon instant coffee.
1 teaspoon sugar free chocolate instant pudding.
1/4 scoop body fortress chocolate whey protein.

I have been on the Food Lover's Fat Loss System and this is one of the smoothies I have daily. I don't like ANY artificial sweetners, so my recipe doesn't have any, but the orignial recipe calls for 2 packets of whatever artificial sweetner you like.

Mocha's Kisses Smoothie- 226 Calories- The perfect morning snack


Swiss Miss - No Sugar Added Hot Cocoa, 0.5 envelope
Coffee - Brewed from grounds, 1 cup (8 fl oz)
Body Fortress - (C) Super Advanced Whey Protein - Vanilla Corrected*, 33 g (1 Scoop)
Spring Valley - Ground Flaxseed, 1 tablespoons
Mccormick - Ground Cinnamon, 0.5 tsp. (2.3g)
Mccormick's - Pure Vanilla Extract, 0.5 tsp. (5mL)

Mine changes a lot. My favorite one would have to be my blueberry (or strawberry) cheesecake one:

1 c. frozen berries
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Body Fortress)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 oz. fat free cream cheese and/or 1 TBSP of sugar free jello cheesecake flavored pudding mix
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 TBSP virgin coconut oil (optional, but I can usually use the calories; I workout hard)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c. cottage cheese
ice
water or milk (just enough for whizzing up)

Blend to creamy deliciousness and enjoy. YUM!

i use cookies and cream herbalife protein milkshake there tasty and helped me with losing weight

I LOVE frozen broccoli in mine!! I mean it is even hard for me to drink a shake if it doesn't have some type of veggie in:bigsmile: (sometimes I use fresh spinach) So mine right now is:

1/4 cup or so of frozen berries.....usually blueberries
1 cup frozen broccoli
I scoop Whey protein powder from orgainic grass fed cows (my fave is the chocolate flavor)
1 cup unsweetned almond milk
stevia to taste.

don't know the calorie count cuz I usally just focus on the carb count and protein which is very good for this!:flowerforyou:

Mine is exactly the same but with fresh berries and chocolate whey protein powder (1/2 scoop). That's about 250-300 calories depending on how much fruit I add. I like how everything blends in together and the combined taste.
