How do you make your protein shakes?

Sounds like what I do RTD. I have not found any I like either.

 I use the Gold Standard Whey Protein in French Vanilla and mix it with Soy Milk in a shaker cup. Sometimes I add a packet of Starbucks Via Italian Roast Decaf. If I'm travelling, I just use the protein powder and the instant coffee - no soymilk. I also use the Unjury Chicken Protein Powder.

I don't like the Protein Powder mixed in the blender because it gets a froth that I don't like,

For about an 8oz serving I use Necture - lots of flavors or just vanilla
milk/water/almond milk  4 oz
Fage or Safeway Open Nature plain greek yogurt 2oz
a few berries I picked and froze last summer - blueberries, raspberries
and mix it with a stick blender right in my glass, strain if needed.

I love my stick blender. It came with a large plastic cup with a lid. I can make a double serving in the am and carry it with me in my cooler.

Another one that cannot stand the powdered ones. I have two that I tolerate (almost like)... Pure Protein (they come in 23 or 35 gram bottle/can). Muscle Milk Cafe Latte (they have a 100 calorie that works great for breakfast and has some caffeine for when I need a morning jolt). I tried mixing my own coffee protein thing and it was an epic disgusting fail.

HI  I HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER 1 PROTEIN SHAKE HATER UNTIL I FOUND A POWER AT KROGERS  CALLED ARIA  $12.00 . I GET VANILLA  IT IS SWEETEN WITH STEVIA . ITS GOOD !!!!!!!!  

MY MORNING FRAPPE

3 SCOOPS OF POWDER  21 GRMS PROTEIN
2 TBL OF COCOA
1/4 CP COFFEE
SPLASH OF CREAM
IUSE A BIT OF BR SUGAR BU YOU COULD USE YOUR CHOICE
ICE CUBES

BLEND   ITS GREAT

I use Syntrax Chocolate Truffle protein powder.  Here is my recipe - I drink one every morning and it gets me to lunch without hunger.

2 oz. cottage cheese
2 oz. water
1 scoop protein powder
BLEND in the Magic Bullet
Add about 2/3 of a "Red Solo Cup" of Ice
BLEND again until smooth
It will almost fill the 20 oz Solo cup and is delicious.

I also love Nectar Chocolate Truffle:
1 scoop
1/4 c. Fage Greek yogurt
8oz cold water
2 T. Torini raspberry sugar free syrup

Blend in shaker bottle & pour over ice in CamelBak bottle.

2nd favorite:
Same recipe but substitute 8 drops peppermint extract for the raspberry syrup. Tastes like a peppermint patty.

3rd favorite:
Nectar Cappucino mixed in morning coffee - decaf

4th favorite:
1 scoop Nectar Vanilla Bean Torte
1/4 c. Fage yogurt
2T. Torini Brown sugar Cinnamon sugar free syrup

Hope these give you some ideas. I don't use fruit in mine since surgery because my docs plan doesn't allow it.

My new favorite is a green smoothie. I blend up a bunch of kale, spinach, flaxseed meal and unsweetened organic soy milk in the blender and then freeze it in ice cube trays. For my shake, I thaw 3-4 cubes in the microwave, then add 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk or almond milk, 1 scoop Body Fortress Vanilla Whey Isolate powder (30 g. protein), and 2 tsp. of white chocolate flavored sugar free pudding mix powder. I shake it up in my blender cup and enjoy! It is much more delicious than it sounds, I actually like this more than the many chocolate or fruit flavored shake recipes I've tried :)
