Thumbs up Best shakes ever!

I think my husband has concocted the absolute best protein shake out there, but I don't want to get bored, so I will share mine if you will share yours.

I use American Whey because it is lactose free and has no artificial sweeteners. To make is taste GOOD (yes really good) here is what we do:

One scoop of vanilla
One scoop of chocolate
2 tsp of Hershey's baking cocoa
4 ice cubes
One banana, broken into pieces
Water to fill the blender (about 20 oz total ingredients)

Add all ingredients (in the order listed for best blending) and puree until smooth and thoroughly mixed. ENJOY!

The vanilla makes it creamy, and the chocolate balances the flavor, two scoops of either flavor is just not the same. The cocoa thickens it just enough to fill you up for a while and flavors the shake but only adds 50 calories, no sugar and no fat. The banana does add some carbs, but it gives me the potassium that I need so my muscles don't ache because I workout so much. If you find it is too thick, reduce the amount of ice or let it sit for a few minutes before you drink it so it can melt some.

We use the Hamilton Beach personal blender that has a pop on travel lid so you can mix and go easily. Here is the link to see what I am talking about, and K-mart is the cheapest price I found.

Hamilton Beach Personal Blender with Travel Lid - Model 16440911 at Kmart.com

I hope you enjoy this recipe and I hope you will share yours with me.

I like to use Anywhey protein supplement from GNC and 2 packets of Swiss Miss Diet Cocoa (50 calories)
Mix with water and ice and it is good!
