Protein shake

beau80 Posts: 8 Joined: 2003/02/22	2003/03/02, 10:16 PM How do you guys mix your protein shakes? I have the GNC whey protein...vanilla flavor and I mixed it with water earlier and the taste was awful. I would rather drink straight whiskey than that stuff. Can I blend up some banana and orange then mix the protein with that, or would that be a bad thing? I take two a day, the first one is 30 minutes after I work out, and I know I shouldn't mix the fruit with that one, but what about mixing the fruit with the one that I take later in the day? Or if anyone has any good suggestions to mixing one I am all ears.

Tastes kind of like a "Wendy's" frosty - really good - and I don't feel as if I am cheating too much. FYI: 1/2 cup frozen Yogurt= 98 Calories 1.8g Protein 2.5g Fat 17 Carbohydrates

Half a cup of low fat cottage cheese it good too. You can add or subtract, depending on the amount of carbs and protein you want. =============
