Protien Shake Receipes?

[jessiel2x 0]

So I would like some protien shake reciepes. I bought some frozen fruit and some plain yogurt for after surgery May 26th (3 DAYS) I haven't gotten any protien power yet. But the nutritionist said that I could drink Slim Fast Low Carb because it has 20grams of protien per shake. But I thought I could use some variety considering I have been on Opti-Fast since the 18th (Totally Sucks:eek:) Anyone have any good receipes or ideas! Thanks

Tomorrow I am going to try putting strawberries in with my vanilla unjury Protein.

I have been doing chocolate Unjury 1/2 a banana and a Tablespoon of PB2 (powered peanut butter) and that is really good.

GNC Be-Buff for women, in chocolate, tastes like nestle quik when mixed with Skim Plus milk. I added fresh strawberries and a banana in the blender to it today, not too bad. Also, Odwalla Vanilla al'mondo Protein Shakes are really good, BUT, They have been running through me after I drink 2 oz.

***BTW*** Between the liquid diet, and being banded 4 days, 10lbs down!!!!

I ususally have a Protein shake for Breakfast (even though I haven't had my surgery yet - 17 days and counting though) and I use the following:

EAS Vanilla Protein Powder (20G protein)

1 banana

3/4 to 1 C frozen fruit (I buy big bag at Sams - it's a mixture of strawberries, pineapple, peaches and mango)

2 pkgs. splenda (or 1 pkg stevia)

cold Water (I use 1-1/2C)

Blend until frozen fruit is blended ... it's very thick and very filling.

I prefer to use low-fat milk in my smoothies instead of yogurt, and I LOVE them. I use vanilla Protein powder, and then I add a banana and some low-sodium, sugar-free natural PB.... or sometimes I'll add frozen fruit (strawberry and kiwi is one of my favorite combinations.)

Yummy! Enjoy.

I'm a fan of simple and quick. I use the vanilla flavored Adkins' shake and put 1 and 1/2 capfuls of sugar free DaVinci Raspberry Syrup (I buy it at BJ's) in it. It tastes like a raspberry milkshake with 15 grams Protein and 1 carb. I tried all the other stuff and making of shakes from frozen berries, but for me this is the best tasting and quickest method.
