Protein Powders

the protein powders sold at gnc, what is the percentage of usable protein in those drinks that they make?

and does anyone have any recipes for high protein shakes that i can make at home?

Re: Protein Powders

Here you go, my concoction:

Into a blender,
10 ounces milk (skim is best for calories)
2 Tbsp. pure cocoa (no sugar in cocoa)
1/4 tsp Xanthan gum (for thickening)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 sachets artificial sweetner
1 egg
1 ounce protein powder
5 ice cubes.

Blend on super high till all ice is smithereened...scrape down as necessary, the protein and the cocoa tend to stick to the sides.
Optional is a drop or two of coconut or banana extract (look in an international- type food store.)


Thick and delicious, probably the best milk shake you ever had. Adjust the ingredients to your own tate after you make the first on exactly as above,

Between 40 and 50 grams protein.

(Psst, don't tell anyone...this is my secret recipe )

Re: Protein Powders

Unless it's your pre/post workout shake, you can add natural peanut butter and/or cottage cheese to chocolate protein powder. You can't really taste the cottage cheese after it's been through the blender and it makes the shake nice and thick.

You can also add different flavors of sugar free/fat free pudding mix. As well as extracts like vanilla.
