WOW... omg this totally doesn't count... this is desert!!

I'm going to peruse these recipes when I have more time...I'll post some more of my favorites. 



S’Mores Shake
2 scoops chocolate PROTEIN
A few marshmallows (or cream)
1/3 cup of graham crackers
3 tablespoons of light chocolate syrup
12 ounces of skim milk
1/3 cup of ice

[ripitupbaby]

I bet it was good!  This one is a little "healthier"

The Turtle Shake
1/2 cup water

1 or 2 scoops chocolate protein

1 oz pecan halves, chopped

2 tbsp natural peanut butter

1 cup pasteurized egg whites

1/2 cup ice cubes

[ripitupbaby]

OK I conquered my fear of raw egg whites last night.  They are actually pasteurized...

I did one scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 cup All Whites, some ice, and a splash of water.  It was really good, definitely better than just powder and water, and better because it's less powder anyway.  It didn't do much more for my hunger though... I wanted another one about 10 minutes after the first one.

My wife made me these for my birthday recently.

However much milk you prefer, add your protein powder to your usual dose. Sprinkle some instant coffee in there, and if you've got a vanilla or french vanilla protein flavor, it will come out pretty close to a "mocha joe" type flavor. Or a coffee shake.

Or freeze your leftover coffee into ice cube trays and use them in the blender to make your shakes.

I've tried using a cup of espresso...I didn't like the texture of the shake once the coffee was mixed in. The way I first described gives a thicker consistency like that of a milkshake at a fast food place- my preference only.

I'm down with the fast food milkshake thing.  Sounds pretty damn good right about now.

BTW, have I mentioned that BSN Syntha 6 is my new favorite protein powder?  The Chocolate Mint is to DIE FOR. 
Of course, it's got too much good stuff in it for me to use regularly during contest prep, but it is soooooo good.   

[powerpack]

I agree Syntha 6 is the best tasting shake out there.
Mocha is amazing

I haven't tried the mocha yet, but I am drooling thinking about it.  The Chocolate Mint is really awesome.  It's ALMOST like one of those Yule Flip Peppermint Chip Blizzards that Dairy Queen serves during the holidays.  MMMMMmmmmmm...........
UGH, they have a Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor!! 
I even like the strawberry, and I HATE strawberry protein powder.   

Perhaps a little heavy on the carbs for contest prep, although it's a pretty good nutritional combo for post-workout:

Syntha 6 Serving Size: 1 Rounded Scoop (44g)
Syntha 6 Servings Per Container: 30

Calories 200
Calories from fat 50

I know I know I know!

Even when contest prepping, I still think a small amount of carbs PWO is not a bad thing.  I've been doing 1/2 scoop of Syntha (or Beverly which is a little lower in carbs) and 1 scoop of Palumbo's protein, which is zero carb/zero fat.  Pretty soon, I WILL drop the Syntha altogether, and then at four weeks out, I will say goodbye to protein powder.  What a sad day that will be.

Yeah i usually take about 25grams PWO while prepping myself.  I think I may cycle my carbs a bit this time.  You know how to get in shape so do what you do 

Lots of people say to cut the powders out too, but I got the most shredded of my life drinking them right up to Friday.

Another recipe I kind of liked...

Use vanilla powder, a little bit of lime juice and add a few graham crackers (smash them with your hands over the blender) and you've got yourself some Key Lime Pie.

I think I have a packet somewhere, that has about 30-40 recipes in it. From EAS when I first started buying their stuff and using protein powders.

Banana Pancakes

2 c. Bisquick Heart Smart baking mix
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 bananas, mashed
1/4 c. Eggbeaters
1 1/3 c. soy milk
2 Tbsp. granular Splenda (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. banana extract
1 tsp. almond extract
water ( for consistency needs only )

Mix together all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, either with a spoon or with a whisk. Batter will be thick, so add water until the batter is to the consistency that you like. Thicker batter makes smaller thicker pancakes, while thinner batter cooks quicker and spreads out to make thin pancakes. Be sure to grease the pan with either fat free Pam Spray or with a Healthy Balance type of margarine spread. Pour batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan.

Makes approximately 18 pancakes. 67 calories each.
