We went around the room and asked everyone for their favorite protein shake recipe. Some were super simple, some more complex... and some not even a shake at all.

Skip the shake... go straight for the oatmeal. Mix the following in large bowl making several servings and cook until done. Then each morning take our your small portion for breakfast.
-Steel Cut Oats
-Flaxseed
-Protein Powder
-Cinnamon
-Slivered Almonds


Mark
Body Fortress Strawberry protein powder
Milk
Ice

Pam (that's me)
Iced Protein Coffee
Protein Chai Tea - served over ice in the summer, hot in the cooler months


Which one sounds the best to you?  I'm intrigued by Lori's Apricot Mango Fuzzy Navel concoction and I love the idea of doing a healthy oatmeal for breakfast. I can see experimentation coming on...

  2. @Fredda -- Holy cow! Those both sound amazing! Nectar Cappuccino and Nectar Vanilla Bean are two of my all time favorite protein powder flavors. And I love the idea of adding the cherries and cherry flavoring to the second shake idea. Thanks for sharing and welcome to my blog. :-)
