Default Here are some great Protein Shake recipes

I have tried about half of these myself. Great tasting and great for you. Make sure you try the peanut butter banana.


Berry Good Shake
Ingredients:

* Mix 2 scoops of Raspberry Yogurt Protein Delite or other protein with
* 4 strawberries
* 15 blueberries
* 16 ounces of nonfat milk
* 1.2 cup of ice cubes.

It is so good that you should serve it with a little umbrella in it!

Protein-Carb Almond Blast

Ingredients:

* Mix 2 Scoops of Vanilla MyoMax Meal or other protein with
* 10-12 oz of skim milk
* 1.2 cup of dry oatmeal
* 1.2 cup of raisins
* 12 shredded almonds
* 1 tbsp of peanut butter.

It's like pudding!
Strawberry Nut Shake

Ingredients:

* Mix 2 Scoops of Vanilla Isolean or other protein with
* 1 cup of fat-free strawberry yogurt
* 6 shredded macadamia nuts.

Plub Ice Shake

Ingredients:

* Mix 2 scoops of Vanilla Scipro or other protein with
* 1 ripe plum (pitted) juice of 1 lemon
* 16 ounces of ice water
* 1.2 cup of ice cubes.

Peppermint Oatmeal Shake

Ingredients:

* Mix 2 scoops of Alpine Milk Chocolate Protein Delite or other protein with
* 1 cup sugar free vanilla ice cream
* 1 cup oatmeal
* 2 cups non-fat milk
* 1.2 cup water
* a splash of peppermint extract!

Chocolate Coffee Shake

Ingredients:

* Mix 2 scoops of Alpine Milk Chocolate Protein Delite or other protein with:
* 1 cup of skim milk
* 5 ice cubes
* 1 cup of water
* 1 spoonful of instant coffee!

Tastes like a gourmet concoction!

Plum-Lemon Cooler

Ingredients:

* 2 scoops vanilla flavor whey protein powder (Whey Best, Scipro)
* 1 ripe plum, pitted
* juice of 1 lemon
* 1 tablespoon multi-vitamin powder
* 16 ounces ice water
* 1/2 cup ice cubes

Wild Berry Boost

Ingredients:

* 2 scoops vanilla flavor whey protein powder (Whey Best, Scipro)
* 8 raspberries
* 4 strawberries
* 15 blueberries
* 16 ounces nonfat milk
* 1/2 cup ice cubes

Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffle

Ingredients:

* 2 scoops chocolate flavor whey protein powder (Whey Best, Scipro)
* 1 teaspoon creamy peanut butter
* 16 ounces nonfat milk
* 1/2 cup ice cubes

Creatine Catalyst

Ingredients:

* 2 scoops vanilla flavor whey protein powder (Whey Best, Scipro)
* 5 Granny Smith apples
* 5 grams (one teaspoon) Creapure䠣reatine powder
* 1/2 cup ice cubes


Peanut Brittle Protein Shake
This is a delicious favorite I discovered quite by accident as I sat staring at my "boring" vanilla protein powder and wanting something sweet. This mimics peanut brittle only in taste. It won't send your blood sugar soaring and it's a fun way to get in some healthy unsaturated fat.
Ingredients:

* 2 scoops vanilla protein
* 1 tbsp sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix, dry
* 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, chunky
* 8 oz. cold water or lowfat milk.
* 3-6 ice cubes

Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and serve. I like to add the peanut butter in last so it stays a little chunky, just like the peanut brittle it is replacing.

The Hulk


This is a pistachio flavored shake that I came up with one busy morning for my son. He loved it because it was green and walked around the rest of the day doing lat spreads that "ripped" his shirt. I loved it because it only added 19 calories to my protein shake.
Ingredients:

* 2 scoops vanilla protein
* 1 ? tbsp sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
* 1 mint leaf or a few drops peppermint extract (optional)
* 1 few drops green food coloring (optional)
* 8 oz. cold water or low-fat milk
* 3-5 ice cubes

Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. This tastes great without the mint so don't worry if you don't have it around. The shake is a light green even without the food coloring but if you want it green (like The Hulk!), you'll need a few drops.

Oatmeal Meal Replacement Shake
This is a homemade meal replacement that contains all the nutrition of a hearty bowl of oatmeal. It's got complex carbs, protein, and a little good fat to extend its contribution to your energy stores. If you expect the rest of the day to be hectic, why not double it up and take half of the shake to work to ensure you don't skip a meal just because you'll be stuck in a meeting.
Ingredients:

* ? cup dry measure oatmeal, cooked in water and cooled
* 2 scoops vanilla protein
* 3 dashes cinnamon
* 1/8 c sugar free maple syrup or equivalent amount brown sugar replacement
* 1 tbsp chopped almonds (or flaxseed oil or natural peanut butter)
* 12 oz. water or low-fat milk

Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. If your short on time, just use dry oatmeal or oat flour.

Nice work there!
Oatmeal is a great source of fiber as well! Many people don't get enough fiber, and water for that matter
