I read protein shake recipes online the other day and saw quite a few that add Coffee-Mate (just one tablespoon or less is all you need) for flavor. It only adds about 35 calories and just a tiny bit of sugar. I have been doing it for a couple of weeks and I love it! I still use the whey protein from GNC, the vanilla and chocolate, and add the Coffee-mate. If you use the chocolate protein mix and use the Black Cherry Streusel Coffee-mate flavor it tastes just like you are drinking a chocolate covered cherry! It is sooooo good! There are so many flavors, so you can make so many different shakes.

i drink syntha 6 protein shakes. you can get them at gnc i get the mochaccino and chocolate mint they are lean shakes and really good. sometimes i put then with ice and a banana in the blender. they can also be a meal replacement.

Wow bking! I put some butterscotch Jell-o pudding mix in my vanilla protein shake and it was so good! I have added fruit and cocoa but I would have never thought of butterscotch! Thanks! I have not tasted butterscotch in over five months. It's one of my favorite flavors.

i drink shakle vanilla shake with low fat milk

Considering that protein shakes are important because I am a gastric bypass patient, I say I love using vanilla shakes, adding some banana flavoring and some frozen strawberries...yummy! Add ice, some Cool Whip...has very little fat..just carbs...very little is needed. It's awesome.

I use the whey protein from GNC (the vanilla flavor) and use milk instead of water and add any kinds of fruits --- such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries... and so forth--- remember to drink this prior if you have a strenous workout and after---

The chocolate protein I use is Whey Protein. I use 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 scoop of protein, 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup and 1 1/2 FROZEN bananas. Freezing the bananas thickens the shake and you don't need ice cubes. This shake is delicious however, too many calories for a snack so I would drink mine for lunch.

What kind of chocolate protein shake do you use? Do you use it as a snack or a meal replacement?

Is cabbage good to eat? I don't really care for spinach or kale. I have a great vegetable soup recipe that has a lot of cabbage in it.

Great suggestions, I'm really loving the fact that you guys are helping each other out and posting your questions here. This is serving its purpose. keep it up.

I like using fresh strawberries...a 1/2 cup of orange juice, ice water, with vanilla protein mix from GNC

I like adding 1/2 cup of low sugar/no sugar added organic vanilla yogurt to my shakes...I also use skim milk instead of water...sometime I pour some coffee with ice in the shake too....expresso smoothie anyone?

I love using frozen berries too...a mix of blueberries and strawberries with vanilla protein mix is really good....When I want to "treat" myself...I'll use 1/2 a banana and peanut butter and low sugar chocolate syrup

I love using sugar free jello in my protein shakes...the sugar free butterscotch is amazing!! I add a little in my chocolate protein shake with half of a banana..It keeps me full and satisfied
