Granted it takes me 2+ hours to finish one and yesterday was the first day I got in two (because I was sipping til 1130!) but I'm soo glad my taste stayed the same. Here's what I do:

3/4c water
1/4c half & half
1****
1scoop Any Whey unflavored
1scoop Big Train Chocolate Mocha or Vanilla Latte
mixed up in my magic bullet

I've been experimenting with different extracts like coconut, raspberry, banana and peanut butter to make different flavors. This morning I combined peanut butter and
banana...delicious!

Please share your favorite protein shake concoctions!

I dont have the exact measurments as I am more of a "dump things in the blender as I go" sort of person. My fav protein shake is Root Beer float. I use:

1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 cup of milk
root beer extract
1 cup ice
1/2 cup water

Will any of these cause a new pouch to dump? That root beer sounds yummy! Doesn't have sugar does it?

Oh, that sounds yummy!  Do you buy the root beer extract the same place you get vanilla extract?

yes, you can buy the root beer extract where you get the vanilla extract. I have found that Walmart carries it. Some grocery stores don't.
To answer the other question.....the amount needed I don't think would cause a new pouch to dump. I am very sensitive when it comes to protein shakes. I have a hard time with Click even though I love it and I am almost 3 years out!

My current favorite is about 10 ounces soy milk, one scoop Syntrax Nectar cappuccino, a spoonful of instant decaf coffee and a little splender.  I put it all in a cup with a lid and shake well, then add three or four ice cubes.  Yum.

I'm glad you're liking your shakes.  It helps so much to find one (or more) that you like.
