Just post the shake you had today, especially if it was an improvised recipe or one of your favorite concoctions.
Just now, improvised:
1 whey/casein RTD shake (had to pick some up from 7-11 as I’m out of powders)
1 scoop chia seeds
1 tbsp coconut oil (scraped into a shot glass and microwaved to turn into liquid)
1 tbsp pure cacao powder
15g l-glutamine
5-10g creatine
~ 400 calories
About to have this before bed…
2 scoops Grow! whey, 1 can coconut milk, 1 teaspoon strawberry flavoring, remained is whole milk.
Not sure about the breakdown but it had a good amount of protein and lots of calories…
My morning shake:
Whey 2 scoop
Oats 1/2 CUP
Eggs 2 egg
Banana 1 LARGE
Milk 2C
Lots of calories and protein; gotta love it!
Oh, and I tossed a “smidge” of mint extract to make it taste like mint chocolate chip.
And it did.
And it was good.
p.s. that’s more than 26 carbs, typo i know.

DO the chia seeds have any taste? How are they different than flaxseed meal?
Breakfast:
1 cup frozen strawberries
2 rounded TBSP ground flax
1 rounded TBSP natural PB
2 rounded scoops Grow! whey
1/2 cup cottage cheese
enough water to make it into a drink
I guesstimate this is around 600ish calories and 60g of protein
I have been weening off the whey…
tried a bunch of brands but they all make me sleepy.go figure.
so Usually I have a shake like this
One scoop whey
4 scoops hemp
2 tps greens plus
either cottage cheese or greek yogurt
2 to 3 cups water
I will throw in some fruit
banana or berries if Im home near a blender
something like 550 calories
60 g protein
a good amount of healthy fats

Just had this:
vanilla protein powder
1 packet mandarin/orange crystal light pack
1 scoop chia seeds
Chilled in freezer for 30 minutes
Amazing…like a frothy, orange lazarus.
k8,
They have no flavor and are WAY better for you than flax, in my opinion.
1 cup chocolate calorie countdown
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp flax seeds
1 serving greens powder or Superfood
3 fistfulls spinach
2 scoops Metabolic Drive

Cool, I’ll have to check them out. In the above shake, how much water/ice do you add? sounds like a nice “ice cream” like dessert
Actually, it was a RTD vanilla whey/casein shake. So, about 14 oz of fluid total.
I wouldn’t add less than 10 or more than 12 oz of water/milk if you are using straight powder.

1-2 scoops grow whey
big handful spinach
10-14 oz carb countdown
2 tbsp flax

1/2 tsp xanthan gum
…almost tastes like pistachio pudding and looks like it. I’ve been looking for pistachio flavoring, but can’t find it.
Maybe you should try fat free/sugar free pistachio Jello pudding?
