What is your favorite....???

Protein shake recipe    Its so hot I don't want to cook, I've been making bad choices, and I need some new ideas.      I have been making a shake with 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, some OJ, lots of ice and half of a banana.  It has lots of fruits sugars, but is very refreshing.   I need some inspiration, HELP ME PLEASE!!! Mary

Hey Mary! I use vanilla protein powder, pineapple juice, 1/2 banana, capful of coconut flavoring and tons of ice to make it nice and thick!!!! Yummy!!!

My absolute favorite protein powder I get at walmart.... its called Body by fortress and it is around 11.99 for a tub.    I buy the choc and this is how i make my shake.. I have a magic bullet...   LOVE IT! take the plastic cup add 3 ice cubes sometimes use water, sometimes carb countdown milk   never measure - maybe 4 oz? 2 scoops of protein powder 1 teaspoon of decaf instant coffee (love the mocha flavor) 1/2 packet of sweetnlow 1 teaspoon of hershey cocoa powder then i whip it up.... I think its prob more protein then our bodies absorb at one time, but I always make it this way, because i just figured the stuff was so inexpensive and what if my body could absorb more ?  lol and I like it.. I do this mon-fri sometimes... they also make a vanilla... and you could substitute frozen fruit for the ice if your body will tolerate it. :)

Here is also a link to a bunch of recipes for some shakes that a member of OH posted a while back.   I havent tried some of them but they look great! :) http://swords.cc/ohcc/bariatric_recipes.html 

What is the best vanilla and chocolate protein? I tried the Matrix 5 chocolate and didn't like it.

I, like Jess, actually like the less expensive stuff from Walmart.  I also really like this protein powder from Publix.  Its designed for women with extra calcium and is on the aisle by the produce with the granola and stuff.  I'll send you the brand name later, I'm at work.  Have a good day Mary

Thanks,    those look great. Mary
