Question:
Protein

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone out there has a good tasting smoothie that I can drink for breakfast and that I can add protein powder. I would appreciate it!! Thanks!    — MissAuntieK (posted on July 3, 2000)

I've discovered a really good protein drink - which I purchased in the Vanilla flavor - called Spiru-Tein. Check it out at your local health food store. It also comes in individual serving packets so you can try the various flavors. You mix it with one cup of skim milk. Sometimes I add frozen blueberries, banana, or peaches. It provides 100% of the daily requirement of ALL VITAMINS and some minerals and tastes good, to me anyway! You could add some of the other people's suggestions to this also - just realize that you add calories when you do that. Bon appetit'

My easiest smoothie is made with strawberry or vanilla yogurt (I always buy the low-fat store brands, they usually only have about 10g sugar which is less than an equivalent amount of fruit) and strawberry Designer Protein. I use 1 container of yogurt, 2 scoops of protein and a cup of ice. Another good one uses any citrus flavor yogurt, 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 scoops Natural flavor protein and 1/2 cup ice. 1/2 a banana seems to improve most any smoothie, and be sure to use a blender for the smoothest drink. As Barb said, be creative. Use whatever you have on hand in the form of fruit, juice or yogurt. Any 'berry' yogurt with a banana, natural flavor protein and ice is good. Orange juice with vanilla yogurt, ice and natural flavor protein gives you a 'creamsicle' flavor and texture. Vanilla protein would be good in it, too. Have fun!

I'm a vegetarian, so I combine the following ingredients: 3-4 ozs.tofu (silken), 3-4 ozs, soy milk, skim milk, OR non-fat yogurt, one or two of my favorite fruits (if you use fresh fruit, add ice cubes, otherwise frozen fruit works great) & protein powder. Tastes awesome!!!
