Shake up my shake!

Chocolate triggers migranes so its out. I have vanilla protein powder. What do you add to yours to change up the taste?

I've tried cheesecake pudding mix, pistachio pudding mix, almond flavoring, orange flavor, strawberry, and peanut butter but will wait to do that again til the pb2 shows up.

Thanks!

I mix it into my coffee with sf syrup for a "latte."
I mix the protein powder with the syrup first to make a paste then add the coffee. You can't add protein powder to hot liquids without getting a major clumpy mess that you can't drink.

I have this every day for breakfast. If I haven't gotten enough protein in for the day I sometimes have another one at night.

Thanks Winnie! I do that in the mornings sometimes. I'm still working on getting used to the taste. Never thought to make one at night. That sounds very comforting, thanks for the idea!!

Some cinnamon, ginger and clove or nutmeg makes it into a chai-wannabe shake.

I've been wanting to try the pumpkin pie recipe I've read posted on here - add a bit of pureed pumpkin, and some pumpkin pie spice and blend it. It sounds yummy, but I still haven't done it!

It is beautiful :) We are pretty spoiled around here. And moldy due to rain.

I am such a bad Eugene-ian and still haven't been to the country fair! I know tons of people that do though - it's quite the event around here!

Haha, well, the country fair isn't for everyone. Im friends with a family who helped found it so used to camp with them for the weekend. Always had a blast just people watching! I haven't been since I moved to 'Bama.

My favorite is a spoonful of instant decaf coffee. I also like to throw a vanilla shake in the blender with half a banana. Butterscotch pudding mix is also good. And I've done raspberries, fresh or frozen. I like my shakes in the blender with a handful of ice for the most part. And they are all extra yummy with a spoonful of Cool Whip free on top, plus they look pretty that way.

Thanks Kelly! I LOVE the banana idea! I'm going to try your other ideas too! Will have to get some whipped cream to put on top for a pretty shake! I'm worth it!!

Put it in a pretty glass, too. I swear that makes it taste better!
