Your Best Shake Recipes Please

Well, I have been on full liquids for one week and have two more to go (Oct 5 is my next app. when they will switch me to mushies) and I have to tell you, I now HATE chocolate shakes! Someone replied to a previous post about adding SF FF Pudding mix to your shake to thicken it up a little (I can't drink watery shakes) so today I added SF FF Cheesecake flavored pudding to my shake and I am saved. Chocolate cheesecake - Yum.

1 Scoop 100% whey protien powder in chocolate
1 to 1 1/2 tsp SF FF Cheesecake flavored pudding (Jello)
1 cup Carb Countdown Fat Free Milk
Blend and enjoy!

Does anyone else have any good ideas on how to make these things drinkable? Recipes would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Okay! Here's my favorite!

1 scoop EAS vanilla soy protein powder from wal-mart
1/2 - 3/4 cup pomegranate juice
a couple handfuls of frozen peaches
splenda to taste

I whizz it around in my personal blender & voila!!

This has been mentioned somewhere on LBT, but I bought some Davinci sugar-free flavored syrups, and have just added them to instant breakfast, plus a 1/2 scoop of UNJURY unflavored protein.
I WANT to make the blender shakes, but I end up eating a protein bar (Zone Perfect) instead, just because it's faster.

I use a vanilla powder fro mWal mart, I use skim milk and a Bananna ice & blend or if I use chocolate protein powder, I will add 2 TBSP of peanut butter, skim milk ice & blend very filling

If you like coffee with cream, you might like this

Blender 3/4 full of ice
cooled coffee to just below the ice level (I use leftover coffee that I pour into a pitcher and refrigerate overnite, or make it and let it cool to room temp)

add french vanilla creamer to taste (I use regular but there is a splenda blend)
protein powder
chocolate syrup is optional for mocha

blend, adding ice as needed to thicken to taste.

my hubby likes it minus the protein and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream & choc syrup... says it rivals DQ's Moolatte

Lynn, there is a thread on here and I am trying to find it, that gives you a link to all kinds of different protein shake recipes. It is an awesome list and I am trying to find it. Maybe someone else can remember who it was posted by. Meanwhile I will keep looking for it. I like the low carb chocolate milk, GNC 100 % Whey protein powder and a 1/4 cup of mixed frozen berries. I then strain it to get the seeds out...can't stand the seeds. I love it and it tasty yummy!!

I add a few tablespoons of bran cereal to beef them up, plus it gets fiber in.

This is posted word-for-word from someone else that I got them from:

I use frozen fruit, I buy it fresh then freeze it..I mix in UNFLAVORED protein as I cant stomach some of the flavors...I use some yogurt at times...but mostly just the fruit..with it frozen, it gets thick like a shake! You can use Crystal light with the frozen fruit and protein too! It is yummy!

Anyone tried Jamba Juice? We have one around here and I know you have to be wary of the surgar, but you can get them pretty customized by now.
