I'm considering picking up some protein powder soon, to help hit my macros, and I think that just protein flavoring by itself might become dull after a while. And could definitely use some ideas. I know a few people blend up more than just your normal protein powder + water. Or powder + milk. So lets hear about them. We may be able to get a pretty decent thread going crammed full of ideas for people to scroll through to try new things, so they don't get tired of the same ol' same ol' Cookies n Cream protein powder taste. So how about this... Post a list of ingredients used in the shake, including what kind of powder you are mixing in. Then a pre-blend and post-blend picture, so there is a visual to go with it. I know I'm fond of pictures, and I'm sure others are too.

So I just burned out my second blender making smoothies? I use frozen fruit instead of ice and it usually comes out to filling 2/3 of the pitcher. Am I making them too thick? I like eating them with a spoon. Which types do you all recommend? My last one was a cheap Oster 12 speed. http://www.amazon.com/Oster-6812-001-16-Speed-Blender-Glass/dp/B0019MLLCO/ref=sr_1_17?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1371820531&sr=1-17&keywords=oster+blender Ive read that the cheap ones are not menat to be used daily and more professional(expensive) ones are better. Ive read on another post that people liked the Ninja and I can probably spend the $100 for something like that if I know it will last. Any advice would be appreciated.

I know I know drinking juice is bad. Even the "healthy" stuff like Bolthouse and Naked Juice that are supposed to be good for you are loaded with sugar and you don't get the fiber like you would if you just ate the berries and apples etc....HOWEVER, what if I say threw a handful or two of berries and a slash of almond milk or water? Would that be just as bad or would I reap the benefits? Thanks!
