Outdoorsy Type Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I want something fast to eat in the mornings after I run. What is your protein shake/smoothie go to recipe? Product? I don't mind some calories and a little bit of sugar as it's a post work out meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Unsweetened vanilla almond milk ( or whatever milk you drink), generous scoop of cocoa powder, a frozen banana, and peanut butter. Tastes like dessert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I make smoothies for the kids every morning. I use TGS Whey for protein in fruit based drinks. It is unflavored/unsweetened. I have a vitamix and this powder dissolves in a way that makes the smoothie like ice cream. The most common on the kids drink is 1 banana 1 cup mango 1 cup pineapple 1 cup strawberries 1/2 can coconut milk orange juice for fluid (or the left over flavors of juice boxes that no one drinks LOL) 1/2 scoop (10 grams of protein) TGS powder is unnoticeable to the kids. If I add 1 full scoop, then I add extra raspberries or marion berries to cover the flavor. We vary it from there. On top of those listed, in my freezer I have: Peaches Raspberries Mixed berries Blueberries Marion berries Cherries Random melons that we didn't eat all of, so I froze parts. sometimes it has peanut butter or chocolate.

6packofun Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I really, really like strawberry Shakeology from Beachbody but it's ridiculously expensive. :( Trying to find a replacement. That said, when I use it I make it with unsweetened almond milk, a big dollop of no-fat vanilla Greek yogurt, and half a frozen banana and/or some frozen blueberries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I usually have a protein shake for breakfast, I found Plant Fusion protein powder- I don't do well with milk/whey protein powders... (I like the chocolate) I usually have it like this: 1 scoop choc. protein powder 1/2 banana (sometimes I substitute a handful of frozen strawberries or frozen cherries, yum) 3/4 cup almond milk 1/2 cup coffee 7-8 pieces of ice. If I want more protein I throw in a tablespoon of pb. I'm hooked on adding the coffee, funny, I don't actually drink coffee, but I need it in my smoothie now.

That said, when I use it I make it with unsweetened almond milk, a big dollop of no-fat vanilla Greek yogurt, and half a frozen banana and/or some frozen blueberries. yeah, I really liked the shakeology too, but couldn't afford it. I found the Plant fusion was good, and seemed to have good stuff in it, and also I really liked the taste of Vega one chocolate, but it was a bit more expensive than plant fusion and the deciding factor was that it left small clumps in the mixer that were harder to clean out. I like that I can order from amazon when I am running low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbbulliv Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I put avocado in my smoothie. Not as sweet as banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMi 4under3 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Bluebonnet brand strawberry flavor whey isolate. Fresh or frozen strawberries. Almond milk or water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2OandE Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I do plain yogurt, 3/4 cup frozen strawberries, 1 banana, 2 Tbsp Flax seed and 3/4 cup water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 My goto at the moment is a banana, frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk and protein powder. I cycle though. Before that it was frozen strawberries, almond milk and coconut powder, banana optional. Ds's fave is banana, peanut butter, sweet vanilla soy milk & protein powder. Dd is the most creative and I don't know her recipes, but it is always a fruit, spinach, soy milk, and who knows what else often chocolate is involved :).

kwickimom Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I love Shakeology. All of the flavors and all the combos :) I have tried a bunch of different shakes, but these by far taste the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
