Any protein shake ideas?

[Taylor]

I use the optium nutrition protein whey...vanilla

i've been using ice, 1 cup of water, 2 scoops of whey, and 3/4 scoop of gatorade for the quick sugar rush...anything else i could throw in there, or a different combination?

what i make doesn't taste too great, but it gets the job done

It depends on what the shake is for--pre-workout, post-workout, meal replacement.
I've seen two shakes listed lately on here--YJ's shake, which could be pre-workout or meal replacement and Vanders tuna shake, which I'm afraid to try!

I found these recipes a few months ago on SM using the search function. You may find more if you try using it.

Well with a post workout shake you would want a simple carb/protein combo. before bed i would change it up a bit. i would throw a little bit of dry oatmeal and maybe a little PB if your bulking.

[JUICE]

i just stick to the

8-10 oz. water
2 scoops of protein
1/2 cup of oat
2-3 strawberries
1 banana
handful of ice.

Tastes good

[Kayak Jones]

ON double choclate 1.5 scoops.
1/2 banana
large spoonful lowfat cottage cheese
1 cup water
5-6 ice cubes
spoonfull of natty PB- omit if cutting but it's better with it in there

[Stonecold54]

just use champion nutritions Mocchacino shake...the shit doesn't need any other things with it. Tastes amazing.

your stomach can digest uncooked dry oatmeal? i should try.

For me im trying to put on some mass, and here is my recipe:

-2 scoop whey protein
-a handful of almonds
-a slice of pizza
-1 scoop ice cream
-an apple
-8 oz whole milk
-and 8 oz spring water

dry oats get wet when they hit your stomach why wouldnt your stomach be able to digest them?

and by the way, the only thing your going to put on with the shake you listed above is a fat gut. ice cream and pizza is junk. does nothing for you but turn to fat. i would change it to something like this:

2 scoops protein
2-3 Tbsp Natural PB
1 banana
scoop of dry oats
10-12 oz whole milk

cut the rest of that crap out of there.

i guess there is some reasoning as raw oats, when ingested, may cause gastric distress. Since you have consumed them raw, they may swell and expand in your stomach.

i've never had a problem with raw oats, but a buddy of mine gets cramps all day if he eats them raw...........lol

[Mommie2Hottie]

I have been experimenting with my shakes. I make mine in double batches and add a packet of Jello fat-free, sugar-free pudding. I actually thickens things up a bit and deepens the flavor.
