    this is a really long thread, so I am not sure if this idea has been shared but I make a strawberry cheesecake protein shake:

    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    3 ice cubes
    1 cup almond milk
    4 frozen strawberries
    2 tablespoons of fat free sugar free instant cheesecake pudding mix

    strawberry cheesecake protein shake! My absolute favorite!!

    what kind did you get?
    bc bsn syntha6 vanilla is delicious, with just plain water

    THIS! I take the same protein powder (and I've always gotten Vanilla flavored protein powders) I'll usually mix in a banana, skim milk and some frozen strawberries and it tastes great. Sometimes I'll leave out the banana to cut out some calories, but it still tastes great.

    If you are taking low carb protein powder always make sure that you take at least 1 tbsp of fish oils or flax seed oil at around the 10-11 gram range. I avoid mixing protein powders with other dairy products such as yogurt or milk. If I do happen to mix it with milk I then go for soy milk.

    I make a banana mango smoothie that taste AMAZING! Take one small banana, 3/4 cup chopped mango, 3/4-1 cup ice (depending on how thick you like it), 2 tablespoons plain or vanilla yoghurt, one scoop of vanilla protein, 1/4 cup almond milk, put it all in a blender and enjoy! This makes a 20oz shake, I put it in a venti Starbucks reusable cup and it fits exactly!

    I like my vanilla shake protein smoothie. One scoop of vanilla protein powder, one snack cup of sugar free jello vanilla pudding, 1/4 cup ice, 1/4 cup water, and one teaspoon phyillium husks. Blend in blender. Makes one serving. Tastes just like a vanilla milke shake. I defy anyone to tell the difference. Its great and only about 170 calories or so.

    I bought the Jay Robbs and swore by it. It's an eggwhite protein powder so it has no carbs. At the time I was on the South Beach Diet. Back then other powders were higher in carbs than they can be now so I don't get Jay Robb's anymore -- too expensive, too.

    but no protein power is good to me without something in it. I use a cup of frozen berries and a cup of spinach- blend. you can't taste the spinach and the "smoothie" will be 2 of 5 in the 5-a-day requirement of fruits and vegetables right at the gate in the mornings. I drink these in the mornings on the way to work.

    Another good smoothie suggestion is vanilla protein powder with orange juice and a little milk and ice. Orangesicle!

    And finally, Vanilla powder, 1 T Hershey's unsweetened cocoa, 1 T peanut butter and some milk, too. AMAZING.

    Just made this baby this morning and loved it. I'm a sucker for chocolate, so I added some in to get a great flavor:

    -one scoop vanilla whey (i use Pure Protein's vanilla cream - 25g per scoop!)
    -one tablespoon 100% cocoa powder
    -one frozen banana
    -a handful of frozen blueberries
    -almond milk (just pour until it mostly covers the frozen fruit)

    blend together and enjoy! mine actually came out almost like a whipped topping, so i kept adding almond milk and finally a small bit of water to bring the texture back into smoothie form. tasted like a chocolate milkshake without the guilt. ;)
