OMG... This is WAYYYYYYY better than my usual Water-Whey Powder drink. It tastes great. With some ice, it a cool way to chill under the sun. Pure awesomeness

i love it, way better than my usual clumpy spoon stirred shake that nearly makes me dry heave.

Did it give you good results? did you see any change in muscle mass?

i would recommened buying a shaker cup, or even just using a cup with a lid that you can shake with. mixes quite smoother and i personally hate chunky texture. i enjoy drinking my optimum whey out of my shaker cup.

I know it must taste great, but im more of the type of guy looking for results, so does this get you big? or doesnt it? please let me know, i also use pro complex protein powder and it's awesome...

Of course it works, it's simple logic in the kitchen. i have been making these exact same milk shakes the last 6 months, i buy frozen fruit and berries and sometimes even make it a chocolate shake with banana and peanut butter. The frozen fruit is good for flavoring and add's a great source of vitamins.

Could I replace the skim milk with whole milk? and the whey protein with casein?
Posted Wed, 12/28/2011 - 17:08
Yes!!!! It's stated in the preparation of the shake. READ!!!!

this is a similar recipe that i use but i add 20g of oats 1 weatbix and 100g cotage cheese great for breaky and pre workout shake
Posted Tue, 07/05/2011 - 13:39
How many of these would you suggest in a day and at what part or the day would you suggest it? I work out after work around 4:30 4 times a week.
Posted Tue, 07/05/2011 - 13:40
Also, what about 2% milk?
Posted Sat, 12/03/2011 - 00:07
hey is there any substitute for the protein powder?
Posted Fri, 12/16/2011 - 13:34
Well you could just eat a whole foods source of protein instead of a shake.
Posted Sun, 12/04/2011 - 21:20
throw in sum oatmeal
Posted Tue, 01/03/2012 - 21:54
Agreed. I put in 1/2 cup of oats. I also use 12oz skim milk instead of 8oz. Yes, this will get you big--I used to have one of these every day. Now I am on my cutting phase so if I ever have one of these it will be a lower portion and a meal replacement.
Posted Fri, 01/20/2012 - 11:52
does the whey powder has to be w/o flavor? example: i have Gold Standard 100 whey(extreme milk choc)
Posted Fri, 02/10/2012 - 14:49
How can I modify this drink making it low calorie, and at what time of the day should I drink this?.
Posted Sun, 02/12/2012 - 10:36
This is a really good protein shake, I use it often during the week. FYI, recently I started adding those little Via packs of instant coffee from Starbucks. If you like coffee and need a little afternoon jolt, this works great. I know it sounds strange, but somehow the peanutbutter, banana, chcolate, and coffee tast all come together.
Posted Sat, 02/18/2012 - 14:48
crunchy peanut butter might be a good twist.
Posted Sat, 03/03/2012 - 01:23
Make it Vegan:
Substitute skim milk for almond milk (tastes a helluvalot better) or hemp milk (see below).
Substitute whey for hemp protein (is a complete protein with all essential amino acids).

I am :
------
Trying to gain weight and build muscle.
Gender = Male
Age = 32
Weight = 170 lbs
Height = 68 inches
I do zero exercise.
According to the BMR calculator I need "2125 Calories Per Day".
Can this shake be used as a complete meal replacement?
If it cannot be used as a meal replacement can you suggest a liquid meal replacement or how can I modify the recipe to be a complete liquid meal replacement ?
What is the effect of adding the oats to the recipe?
(The reason I focus on liquid meal replacement is that given my current work and living situation liquid meal replacements would just be easier to work and more convenient with.....for now)
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Posted Mon, 03/19/2012 - 10:58
This is a very good meal replacement shake choice.
Posted Mon, 03/19/2012 - 16:12
Thanks for your response Steve, if I added oats to the shake how much oats would I add?
Also, what would the oats do as it relates to my goal of "trying to gain weight and build muscle"?
Posted Tue, 03/20/2012 - 15:10
Hard to say. I would try a half cup max at first and see what the texture is like.
Posted Fri, 04/27/2012 - 20:06
can you use any protein powder like Serious Mass Protein? because this Protein powder calls for 2 large scoops of it and milk.. can you just add these ingredients and provide more protein for bulking up?
Posted Thu, 05/03/2012 - 18:43
i don't drink milk. the protein powder i use mixes with water. is it still any good without the milk??
Posted Thu, 05/03/2012 - 23:33
Wow realy its superb thanx...
Posted Tue, 05/29/2012 - 16:43
Try this one... I have it every morning after gym
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 banana
1/2 cup quick oats (blend alone first or use food processor to create power form)
1 tbs natural peanut butter ( I like teddie )
2 cups skim milk
2 scoops favorite chocolate protein powder
Never measured it but probably about 7-8 hundred calories

Hi! I am 30 female, 112 pounds, 5ft, I've been working out for about 3 months. I am looking to get toned and get mucsle definition. I can only go to the gym 7pm-9pm I dont' like to eat that late, so I am trying to find a good protein shake (peanut butter taste preferably ;) that I can drink after the gym right before bed. also, that won't make me gain weight and will help re-build muscle. Please advise :) thx!
Posted Sat, 10/13/2012 - 00:13
A quality casein protein powder mixed with light or skim milk will make a good before bed protein shake. It comes in all the same flavors as whey protein. Casein protein promotes a sustained anti-catabolic environment while you sleep. I would sustain from mixing in fruits or peanut butter right before bed.

I am a vegetarian and I am training for my tennis season. I want to build more muscle but I don't eat large quantities of food at once. Would you recommend more protein shakes or carbo loading for me to bulk up?
Posted Tue, 01/08/2013 - 20:36
Don't buy whey protein isolates!!!! Also, don't mix with eggs as they will slow down the protein assimilation which is counterproductive to consuming after your workout.

Hi!
I do this for breakfast most of the days:
1 scoop of Aptonia Whey Protein Isolate Chocolate
1 Banana
125ml Almond Milk
and after training (I'm a dancer with classes Mon-Frid from 6pm to 10pm) I usually do this:
1 or 2 scoops of Myfusion Probiotic Series Whey Protein Strawberry
200ml water
I'm on a path of losing those last bits of fat and get definition. Oh and I'm 21, 5'3 and since this morning 112lbs.
What do you think? I would really like some advice and opinions please :)
Posted Fri, 04/19/2013 - 20:29
I think everyone is under-rating "real" food - lean meat, beans, green veggies, etc :-)

I am 13 years old and being bullied at school because I am weight ( 5'5"/162lbs). I have started walking 45 minutes a day and working with weights to build my upper body/tone. What type of breakfast shake to you recommend.

Posted Sun, 05/19/2013 - 06:53
To double the calories of this shake use 6 cups of whole milk and 2 tbsp of peanut butter.
