shake add-ins

[italionstallionl]

anyone out there add anything to spice up their shakes? if so what is it

[max von]

i like to add yogurt to mine and some fruit mainly banannas


max von

[wedgylx]

banana's and peanutbutter make a shake deliscious

[italionstallionl]

i like strawberries

a little tip i came across, if you want to make your shake thicker and creamier add in a little sugar free fat free jello instant pudding, it works pretty well

[wedgylx]

I've heard of the pudding thing but never tried it. i think i'll give it a shot this week

[italionstallionl]

its good and is only like 25-35 cals per 1/4 pack of pudding mix, so it doesnt add much to your shakes, but makes them really creamy. ive tried white choc, choc fudge, butterscotch, and vanilla. they are all pretty good

Stallion, I am a fan of pistachio!!! Great report as well.

[italionstallionl]

do you add that to your shakes, or you just like it as pudding because something about pistachio protein shake doesnt do it for me, seems kinda weird

[dinoiii]

Nope - add it to my vanilla shakes, mixed with little water and ice cubes....I shit you not!!!

[wedgylx]

I'm trying it tonight with my vanilla micellar shake. I'll let you know what I think. I have pistaccio and chocolate so I'll try chocolate tommorow

[wedgylx]

gotta admit....pretty good. Even in micellar which is suprising. I'll be using this more often 8)

[max von]

itallion
never thought of pudding you may have stumbled on some thing with that on im going to go to the store tonight to try that on

great post

max von

[italionstallionl]

keep us posted how it is

[max von]

tried it last night with chocolate and that was pretty good i liked the way it mixed up and added a nice change up. I bought some butterscotch i love that and am going to mix that with chocolate make like a turtle shake lot of options now thanks this is really cool

max von

[italionstallionl]

add butterscotch sparingly at first, it is quite strong and really really sweet. i like it, but i dont use much. havent tried it in chocolate, only vanilla

[max von]

ill keep that in mind your right i dont want it to sweet that i cant drink it thank ive got all kinds of ideas to try going through my head

max von

[italionstallionl]

lol, it sounds like you are a kid in a candy store---enjoy

[max von]

i am and its all your fault see what you started

lol
max von

[italionstallionl]

lol-i do what i can

i tried this as well, thought it was decent, a good change, but not something i have done very often

add cinnamon and extra vanilla extract

a lot of times i will add just extra vanilla extract to my vanilla protein

[max von]

Thats the next one that i will try keep the recipes comming ill keep trying then

max von

[italionstallionl]

i bought pistachio pudding today as well as banana cream to give it a shot, we'll have to see how it is

im kinda nervous

[max von]

bananna cream sounds pretty good to bad they do not have the internet at my grocery store i could type you from there and ask you what you think of this flavor

max von

[italionstallionl]

lol, that would be pretty interesting

[wedgylx]

Banana Cream....I definitely need to try that.

I've been going with

6oz skim milk
8oz water
1 scoop Muscletech Nitrotech PM
.5 scoop EAS VP2 WPI
1/4 pack jello (pistachio)

Tastes Incredible

[italionstallionl]

i tried the pistachio tonight, thought it was good, but definitely not something i could do continuously. a good change, i put it in vanilla, anyone try it in choc?

[italionstallionl]

i am having choc protein with banana pudding, i wasnt sure about that becuase i dont really like any type of artificial banana, and this is no different. not my type of flavor, but some others may like it

[wedgylx]

I love anything banana so I'll give it a shot soon.

[max von]

I did the banana creme with vanilla it was really good kinda sweet though but would recommed it

max von

[italionstallionl]

yeah, the banana is just not to my liking, i definitely know some people that would like it, but the fact that i dont really like bananas makes it pretty obvious why i wouldnt like the banana pudding

[dinoiii]

Banana Cream huh...kinda sweet - may be just what the doctor (needed) ordered!!

thanks for the tip guys!!!

[max von]

dinoiii

give it a try that one and the butterscotch are still my favorites so far

max von

[SNS8778]

I have tried a lot of different ways to spice up basic flavor proteins.

I have added sugar free flavored syrups. I like to add cinnamon. Also have added flavored coffee creamers.

I like to make pudding with Protein Delite by Scitec.

Now, here's my unique one. Protein with coffee and espresso.

[italionstallionl]

protein with coffee AND espresso, damn, thats pretty intense. you sure would have to like coffee to enjoy that one.

do you add it to vanilla or chocolate protein

[wedgylx]

Now, here's my unique one. Protein with coffee and espresso.

Sorry steve, but that sounds disgusting lol


i tried mixing protein into my sugarfree hot cocoa once and the protein sort of made a solid substance and floated to the top. Also stank to high-hell.

Protein pancakes taste awesome though

[wedgylx]

I'm about to try butterscotch/chocolate combo I'll edit this with my opinion in a few minutes

Tastes great :D

[max von]

wedglyx

carmel and chocolate is the one i like kinda like a turtle shake try it this one rocks

max von

[max von]

i love drinking espresso ill to try that one


max von

[italionstallionl]

if you want your shake extra chocolatey you can add some sugar free cocoa powder, this makes it really chocolatey

[max von]

italion

thats a good idea i love that chocolate you guy have come up with some great ideas for protien that really help shake it up

max von

[italionstallionl]

fruit flavored shakes anyone?

just looked in my closet, saw some sugar free jello and figured what the heck, ill give it a try. i threw some strawberry jello in with my vanilla protein, pretty good. ill do it again

[max von]

italion

you are killing me with all these ideas to try my wife thinks i am nuts you need to wright a book with all your recipies i think your on to some thing here

max von

I was thinking of getting unflavored protein for just that reason. I hear unflavored protein in water tastes like water....that cantbe bad either!

[max von]

thats what i just bought was some unflavored just for that reason but my chocolate i have found lots of different puddings to put with that jello is a cool idea

max von

[SNS8778]

I personally think that unflavored protein in water is one of the worst tasting things I have ever tried in my life. Everyone is different though.

[italionstallionl]

[quote="I wont be buying it for a while I have more whey than i know what to do with.[/quote]

same here i would love to take a pic of my closet and post it, lol it looks like i am a protein-a-holic

[wedgylx]

I bet i have you beat italian lol

[max von]

thats way to funny guys i bet that looks more like a store than a house

max von

[italionstallionl]

am having chocolate protein with butterscoth pudding right now, not nearly as good as vanilla with butterscotch, but again something i will probably do to switch it up

[italionstallionl]

wed, if we were roomates, i bet we could start a supplement store out of our room with all the stuff we have in "inventory"

[wedgylx]

haha definately. Its like Chris has one of his stockrooms in my closet.

[italionstallionl]

anybody try choc protein with pistachio pudding?

[dinoiii]

Is the choc w/ pistachio good? I have just had vanilla.


My current inventory of proteins + aa related products:

24 Micellar Casein Protein 2lb. jugs
1/2 GF Pro - Dirty Ass taste
17.5 WPIs 2 lb. jugs
2 BCAA by company not sold on DA (bought before I knew DA was around)
2 Glut + BCAAs
Few sample MRPs
~ 2 dozen RTDs


So how do I compete?

[italionstallionl]

damn, dinoiii that is a lot of protein, do you get a discount for buying like 1000 at a time or what?

[max von]

Dinoiii you are the man that looks pretty good wish i could afford to stock up like that

max von

[italionstallionl]

well i decided to give choc protein and pistachio a try. its definitely nothing i have ever had before, it is different, but not bad. however, i like vanilla with pistachio much, much better and will probably not do choc and pist anymore.

it was definitely worth a try

[max von]

Italion

do you taste the pistacios cause i hate the taste of them

max von

[italionstallionl]

lol max, yeah, i mean i guess if you dont add much pistachio pudding you wont taste it.

just wondering why would you use the pistachio pudding if you dont like the way it tastes?

[max von]

Italion

i have never done that one before but i am always up to knew ideas but i dont think ill try this one

Hey for info i made syntex nectur pina colada cooler tonight and added some pinapple to it ice cubes a little water and mixed it up tasted great

max von

[italionstallionl]

got a couple more things you can do to switch things up

use diet v8 splash instead of milk/water, i use this in the morning to make a fruity protein shake

get some sugar free davinci flavored syrup and add that in, i got some off the internet, i got cookie dough and caramel, they are great

[max von]

Italion

the rest sounds good but i cant do the v-8 dont like the taste of that

max von

[italionstallionl]

its v8 splash, its a fruit mixture instead of the typical v8 tomato/veges, check it out, it would probably be really good with the nectar

[wedgylx]

the V8 splash tastes AWESOME and its almost zero calories

[max von]

Okay ill try it i was getting it mixed up with the other v-8 that only good for bloody marys

[Sandman]

I wouldn't really call this a shake "add-In" but I often add a vanilla shake packet to some oatmeal, add some cinnamon and applesauce. I spoon onto a pan and bake for about 10 minutes to make "oatmeal" cookies. I never really researched if baking takes away from the nutrition but they taste GREAT.

[noob]

Guys,

I've found the shake!!!

I'm not for sure how "healthy" this is, but I'm more concerned about drinking a "partially" tasteful shake than calorie intake.

Approximates:

1 heaping scoop of chocolate whey
2 regular scoops of vanialla ice cream
1 pinch of cocoa
1.5 cups of ice

blend throughly.

I have been able to drink shakes much simply because I couldn't stand the taste, but this combo competes with Sonic Milk Shakes!!! :)

Good stuff...


Noob

[italionstallionl]

noob, try different types/brands of protein, you might find you really like the taste of one just blended in water or milk

[skip]

i bought a lot of the Jello pudding powder and they are great.

Banana cream pie with ice in a blender tastes like a shake.

[Sandman]

Good idea guys. Noob you really need to try the Instone Chocolate shake. Trust me when I say this is the closest thing I have had that taste like a STEAK and SHAKE milkshake (note...using fat free milk does help even more). Instone also has a Vanilla spice which is pretty good considering I hate vanilla. I believe they put cinnamon in it which gives it a good taste.

There's a milkshake that tastes like a STEAK? Wow, I'm been missing out. :P

[italionstallionl]

lol, no. a steak and shake milkshake. steak and shake is like a fast food restaurant, but a step above. their milkshakes are amazing (and like 7-900 calories each)

Ah, I gotcha...

Question--- I have LOTS of the instant- sugar free, fat free jello of various flavors. How much jellow powder do I add into the shake mix?

Do you normally just blend milk or water, ice, protein, and jello?

Thanks.

[italionstallionl]

i add as little jello as possible that still makes it good and craemy. i would say it usually works out to be 1 serving (1/4 package).

yeah, i go for milk or water (depending on the time of day, and how many calories i have already had that day, or a blend of milk and water) ice, protein, jello. if its vanilla protein and vanilla jello i might add a dash of vanilla extract or a little cinammon

cool; thanks man!

[Sandman]

Noob, while your at it...you might as well throw in a steak too to up your protein intake.

Kidding aside, it's a crying shame you don't have a "Steak & Shake" nearby.
Life isn't complete until you have a "side by side" milkshake.

And italionstallionl, if you let your wife order the milkshake and you only drink her's, calories are dropped to 875....which makes it ok to have.

Later
