Protein Powder Recipes

I LOVE McDonald's Frappucinos (that is, before I limited my fast food). I made a protein shake that tastes remarkably similar. I froze some strong decaf coffee in ice cube trays and put about 6 of the small cubes in my mini-blender with a scoop of Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Simply Vanilla protein powder, 8 oz. unsweetened almond milk and a splash of Cafe Fresco Irish Cream SF Syrup. YUM!!!

Can you all post some of your favorite protein powder shake recipes? I want to put them on my OH blog (giving you credit for the recipes of course), so I can use them after I get sleeved.
