How do you make your protein shakes?
VSG on 01/13/12
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.
Here's some recipes---

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!
