Protein Shake Recipes Needed!!!

I purchased a new blender from Sam's Club. The Oster Professional Series. Figured I am now a person who requires a blender on a daily basis. Can't wait to use it!
Truthfully, I am getting tired of the plain vanilla, chocolate and strawberry protein powders in a shaker to get me through my post op days. I just need more spice to life. Please help! Can you send me what worked for you?
I had LAP-BAND®® Surgery on Monday, March 1st, so I am only a few days Post Op. Can't do the mushies just yet.
Confessional Time: I ate a few things yesterday I feel very guilty about.
First, I ate Egg Drop Soup. I figured there were no LAP-BAND®® risks and that the small egg pieces in the soup would not be frowned upon by my doctor. More protein, right?
Secondly, I enjoyed 1.5 cups of
Chester's Butter Flavored Puffcorn. My parents came to visit me, and we ended up watching a movie after a long day of shopping. My mom kindly thought of me and offered this as a snack instead of eating real buttered popcorn. It dissolved easily before swallowing. However the idea of eating junk food so soon after surgery really isn't wonderful either. I can go on to tell you it was baked, had zero trans fats, and all that other marketing wizardry on the bag that leads us astray from the healthy path, but we all know at the end of a dieting day it was junk.
Guilt aside, I may use this later though as an alternative to popcorn when I do splurge at the movies. Just in small pre-portioned amounts.
Happy Saturday Everyone!
