Can someone please tell me how to make a protein smoothie? The shakes I purchased are horrible.

@@meSparkle83 - Depending on which stage you are in, here is a link to some recipes - http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-favorite-protein-shake-recipes.html. Which ones did you purchase? The Premier Protein ready made shakes are good. For protein powders, I use Precision Engineering whey Protein Isolate (be sure it says Isolate) and for unflavored I used Doc Hale's Whey-licious. You may have to experiment with different kinds but I was pretty lucky to find this early in my search. I hated Isopure and nectar Syntrax though both of those are popular choices with others.

Hope that helps!

@@meSparkle83 - what shakes were those? What flavors do you enjoy? If you want to do a coffee version there are some great ideas here: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/349504-starbucks-homemade-frappacinno-sf-high-protein/

I purchased premier Protein powder..

I loved premier ready made so I assumed the powder would of been great as well...

I'm ordering the nectar vanilla bean & Cookies n cream but it's going to take a few days to get to me.

I have a big 3lb jug n I wanted to see if using it for smoothies would be better.

Honestly I steer clear of all/most powdered Proteins. I just cannot stand that gritty Protein taste.

I really stick with Premier Protein ready made shakes for that reason.

I make smoothies with 1/2 cup frozen berries (any kind), a 1/2 a banana, a scoop of Protein powder and a cup of Water or Crystal Light. The fruit helps cover up the Protein Powder.
