I need ideas for protein shakes and smoothies. I'm drinking a Chocolate whey shake with whole milk, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. It's pretty tasty, but it lacks substance.

optimum nutrition whey protein powder + silk unsweetened original almond milk. i toss it in a shaker cup and shake it for a few seconds then drink.

sorry, that's all i got

Chocolate Shakeology + unsweetened Flax milk + banana + Walnuts + a little maple flavoring.

 

[poofyhairguy]

My smoothies are usually kale (or baby spinach) + frozen bananas + frozen berries (strawberries or blueberries) + honey + water + sometimes a little hemp protein

The key to it all is frozen (not fresh) bananas.

This is pretty much what I do. Although, I will sometimes throw it in a blender with a banana.

Usually when I make a smoothie at home it's strawberries, banana, mango, and orange juice. I try to use fresh fruit whenever possible but sometimes I use frozen as well.

 

[smackababy]

I feel I should add that if this isn't for nutrition and just as a snack, I generally just throw some random fruit on hand in a blend with some ice and blend that.

i'm just trying to lose weight lol

Wow.. Didn't expect so many mentions of soy/almond/flax milk. No cow lovers among you?

 

[ponyo]

I just throw in leftover veggies and fruits. Same with the liquid.

Every now and then I throw in a splash of half-and-half in with my water if it is my birthday or something.

Lactose Intolerant here. And, almond milk tastes better anyway, at least, the unsweetened kind.

im just trying to lean up so i'm using it because it's got less calories and carbs than milk from cows. definitely more expensive too though.

Same here though sometimes I'll add mixed berries or a banana in and put in a blender.
