As the title says, wondering how folks make them? I think mine would qualify more as protein drinks because all i ever do is add powder to milk or water and mix with a spoon. So maybe that is my problem....

I make shakes with the following:

1 1/2 scoops protein
8 oz of water
1/2 - 1 cup of fruit
serving of fiber (benefiber)

I like stuff super sweet - so I throw in a packet of Truvia, too.

 8 ounces almond milk or water into my shaker cup (which has a screen at the top to break up any clumps), add the powder and shake like crazy. With the Nectar brand I usually pour it in give it a light shake (it does not do well with a blender or crazy shaking) and then let it sit in the fridge for 15 to 13 mins, all the powdered desloves in that time and I give it another light shake and drink. 

I used to use the blender etc and add ice, but it was tooo much work.

 I couldn't deal with protein mixed with milk so I mix vanilla powder with 4 or 5 ounces of water and then add 2 to 3 ounces of fruit juice and a tablespoon of SF syrup.  Stir with lots of ice...the colder the better.  I alternate between orange/vanilla and pineapple/coconut.

2nd listing on eggface (sorry don't have it available at the moment)---search protein shakes--lots of ideas there also.

These are good to give you flavor ideas--even if you can't or don't use fruit.

My day - to - day go to is chocolate or vanilla protein mixed in coffee with a bit of almond milk and a shot or two of sugar free torana or davinci syrup.

Lately though I have been making this and it is Yummy!

Scoop chocolate protein powder
few ounces almond milk
big spoonful cottage cheese
big spoonful Greek yogurt
1 raw egg
handful of ice cubes

blend the whole lot together and it is medium thick and tastes like chocolate cheesecake, with tons of protein - very filling,  and a nice start to my day!

I have been making protein Smoothies in the Morning and they really help me get in my protein and water.

3 Frozen Strawberries
1/4-1/3 Banana
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1 cup- 1.5 cups Crystal light- Strawberry or Orange Strawberry
4-5 ice cubes

I use a blender to liquefy. It is SO YUMMY and really gives me that boost that I need in the morning.
Hope this helps!

Pull back tab.....pour over glass of ice.  Drink.

I have unfortunately not found a powder that agrees with me yet.....except for the unflavored Unjury.  I can deal with that in Crystal Light.

I'm gonna try some Syntrax Nectar....until then I am sticking with Premier Protein and Muscle Milk Light.
