I just bought a Ninja blender today and would like to start making my own smoothies. In these last few months I have spent a small fortune on Gladiator smoothies at Smoothie King. What would be the best brand of protein to buy and why? I would prefer 45 g or more.

 I use GNC's Cellucor Super Sport Performance Whey - excellent nutritional stats - 130 cal/30 g protein/minimal fat/carbs.   You can use as many scoops as you want.

I'm a syntrax nectar fan as well.  I liked the Unjury...but for the additional cost...just didn't like it that much more

My FAVORITE morning shake:
1/2 banana (50 cal, no protein)
1 cup almond milk (30 cal, 1 protein)
1/4 tsp dark cocoa (expensive, but worth the splurge!! 10 cal)
1 scoop Nectar Truffle protein (100 cal, 23 protein)
1 tsp flaxseed (10 cal, no protein)
1 tsp PB2 (Dehydrated Peanut Butter, 8 cal, 1 protein)
1 cup ice
Blend it on high, I use a VITAMIX
YUMMY and FILLING!!!

I'm addicted to smoothie king gladiators. I have the store make it. I bought the powder and made it at home and it was horrible. So I go to smoothie king once a week

 I use Jarrow unflavored (off of Amazon).  The price is good and no problem getting it to dissolve in a smoothie.  If you want 45 grams you just use more than one scoop- no big deal. 

I just got a Ninja last week.  Doesn't grind the ice as well as I had hoped, but at least better than my old blender.  I will be saving pennies for the Vitamix and passing this down to one of my nearly adult children in the future.  I do like the food processor and ability to do dough in it though- finally took the huge Kitchen Aid mixer off the counter.
