My favorite shake lately is:

Hemp protein
frozen berries (1/2c)
water or crystal lite
oats or oat bran (1/2c)

Throw it in the blender and drink up!

Amazing breakfast!

In a small bowl, microwave 1/4c oats with enough water to cover (1/2c), set aside.

Place 1c frozen blueberries on the blender, add enough water to cover. Blend until smooth. Add cooked oatmeal , 2 scoops strawberry-kiwi Nectar whey protein (or your favorite fruit or vanilla protein) powder and another cup of water. blend until smooth!

Really refreshing and tasty!

Cheesecake Shake
Go buy some lowfat Jell-O cheesecake mix, and add one tablespoon to this mix: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ¾ cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup ice cubes, a dash of Splenda, and just enough water to mix it in a blender. To make this really special, add a couple of drops of vanilla extract and a graham cracker. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Protein Bar Recipe NON-COOK

5 tbsp natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
* 1/2 cup dry oat meal or whole grain hot cereal (uncooked)
* 1/2 cup oat flour (double the dry oats if you do not have oat flour)
* 6 scoops chocolate whey protein (approximately 132 grams worth of low-carb protein powder)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
* 1 cup non-fat dry milk
* 1/2 cup water (depending on what type of protein you use, you may need to add more)
* Modifications: Use vanilla protein and replace ~1/4 cup of the oatflour with a variety of nuts, seeds, or dried berries.

Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add peanut butter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry. Add water & vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using a clean wooden spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper. Keep refrigerated

tasty post-workout shake (use the amount of dextrose/malto-dextrin and protein you need)

55oz water (almost 2 qts)I keep 2 qt containers of water in the fridge because shakes taste better with realy cold water, IMO
1 tub strawberry-kiwi crystal lite (makes 2 qts)
dextrose
maltodextrin
vanilla isopure (zero carb)

shake well, or stir with a whisk (sometimes it mixes easily, sometimes it doesn't. haven't figured that out yet).

My favorite variation to a plain shake -

We buy a big bag of frozen strawberries from Costco, so i just throw in about 5 or 6 with vanilla mix. I use water, orange juice, or sometimes milk. It saves using ice but has the same effect.

You can freeze your own fruit for it too - just lay all your selected fruit pieces individually on a cookie sheet, put in freezer until you see they are solidly frozen, then put them into big ziplocs. Then when you need them, you can just grab a few and they won't all be stuck in one big chunk. Enjoy!

I see that most of these are for a certain flavor protein. What if you have a flavored one already. I use the Muscle Milk light (cookies n cream). Does it matter? Some of them I think would taste disgusting if I added it. If so, any ideas for mine?

Umm - I think the muscle milk cookies and milk is great by itself, but if you wanted to add carbs oats would probably taste okay.

It is definitley better then most I have tried. I was just trying to come up with different ways of consuming it other then a drink. Its always so damn clumpy! Someone told me to mix it with pancake mix and make pancakes out of them, will this even work?

I use the same powder actually. It does taste a lot better than most other brands. I have tried the chocolate and the cookies and cream.

I usually add:

1 cup of milk
1 banana
1 egg
5 - 6 strawberries
1 tsp of chocolate pudding mix

Its really good. Very chocolatey (if you like that sort of thing). I have added blueberries in place of the strawberries and it tastes really good. Plus the extra stuff adds a few more calories and protein. Oh a table spoon of peanut butter (with the chocolate powder) is also tasty.

You just gotta experiment a little. If it dont taste that good, just chug it down quick and try not to vomit :P

Do you also mix it with the 10-12 ounces of water? or do you skip the water if you add the other stuff you just said
