Shake recipes for plain protein powder?

[Cross-stitch gal]

Hi.
I recently purchased some protein powder to maybe help me keep/gain weight. So far, I've used it in milk shakes with ice cream which seems to work well. But, was wondering if any of you might have any recipes you use? I'm not really interested in putting eggs into the shakes though. The stuff I have on hand is: Gensoy Ultra natural flavor.

Thanks
Lisa

Hi,

i take Vega Sport Performance Vanilla (it's a really good and easy on the stomach, i take it since it doesnt have soy or flax or whey. completely vegan)

i have it for breakfast mostly but here's what i do:
coconut water
frozen banana
juice (i juice carrots apples and celery and other veggies and mix them into one)
sometimes coconut ice cream or coconut butter
a few blueberries
sometimes a date
than i add the powder
i also add my daily calcium and some vitamin c
and some drops of bee propolis
and kyogreen

there's alot of possibilites, i sometimes open and add my capsule supplements into it also

it tastes really good and mostly tastes like vanilla.

Vega is a good option. Also hemp powder is high in protein.

I'll see if Vega is at my work, have seen hemp powder there though. What is the hemp powder like?

i added hemp seeds to it earlier, but my naturpath absolutely wants me to stay away with anything that has high phytoestrogens (soy, flax, hemp, and so on) due to its properties and eventually leading to cancer in the body.

Some good plant protein powders:
Vega is good if you can afford it.
Sunwarrior. All there products are top notch, one of the few brands I actually trust. Good bang for your buck.
Garden of Life Raw Protein.
But the best bang for your buck is going to truenutrition.com
You can customize your own plant protein to your liking, if you buy it in bulk its cheapest option by far than any other source.

Oh and Hemp is nutty tasting, it isn't too bad.
