Peanut Brittle Protein Shake
This is a delicious favorite I discovered quite by accident as I sat staring at my "boring" vanilla protein powder and wanting something sweet. This mimics peanut brittle only in taste. It won't send your blood sugar soaring and it's a fun way to get in some healthy unsaturated fat.
Ingredients:
2 scoops vanilla protein
1 tbsp sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix, dry
1 tbsp natural peanut butter, chunky
8 oz. cold water or lowfat milk.
3-6 ice cubes
Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and serve. I like to add the peanut butter in last so it stays a little chunky, just like the peanut brittle it is replacing.

The Hulk
This is a pistachio flavored shake that I came up with one busy morning for my son. He loved it because it was green and walked around the rest of the day doing lat spreads that "ripped" his shirt. I loved it because it only added 19 calories to my protein shake.
Ingredients:
2 scoops vanilla protein
1 ? tbsp sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
1 mint leaf or a few drops peppermint extract (optional)
1 few drops green food coloring (optional)
8 oz. cold water or low-fat milk
3-5 ice cubes
Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. This tastes great without the mint so don't worry if you don't have it around. The shake is a light green even without the food coloring but if you want it green (like The Hulk!), you'll need a few drops.

3 dashes cinnamon
1/8 c sugar free maple syrup or equivalent amount brown sugar replacement

Super Healthy Honey Banana Shake
Super healthy shake that tastes pretty damn good - the flax seed oil helps the nutrients digest gradually so you get a steady supply of protein, I always put some honey in, cause it's healthier than sugar, and after a workout it will feed your body's need for simple sugar.
Ingredients:
1 cup of pure water
1 big scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
3/4 cup of natural yoghurt
1 banana
1 tsp of flax-seed oil
2 tsp of honey
1 tsp spirulena
The spirulena definately changes the color and flavor of this shake alot! So if you cant get used to the taste simply leave it out. The shake provides carbs, protein and plenty of vitamins/minerals, so you can easily use it as a meal replacement.

The Best Overall Tasting Homemade Protein Shake
This recipe includes cottage cheese - the king of all cheap, easy, high BV protein sources ! Don't worry, you can't taste it and the blender eliminates the texture.
Ingredients:
16 oz. skim milk
2 cups no-fat cottage cheese
3 scoops Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Powder (vanilla)
1/2 cup non-fat, reduced-sugar vanilla yogurt scoop of your favorite fruit (I like frozen strawberries & banana)
Splenda or Sweet-n-Low to taste (about 2 packets)
Handful of Ice
Directions:
Blend together and chill. Makes 3 two-cup servings.
Guzzle for an awesome post-workout shake. The high-glycemic-value carbs spike insulin to deliver protein to your muscles. Add dry oats for more complex carbs, and add more cottage cheese to boost the protein! Add more milk if the mix is too thick.
