Cook this: Strawberries and Cream Protein Shake
I鈥檝e found Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard 鈥渧anilla ice cream鈥� flavored protein powder, was superior to other brands I鈥檝e tested. You鈥檇 never know there was protein powder in the shake. Can be found at The Vitamin Shoppe, GNC or online.
Strawberries and Cream Protein Shake
Serves: 1 ( 22 fluid ounces)
5-8 large strawberries, hulled, quartered (1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup low-fat strawberry yogurt
1/4 cup sweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (try Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard, 鈥渧anilla ice cream鈥澛� flavor)
8 ice cubes (1 cup)
Place all the ingredients into a blender or the 24-ounce size cup of a vitamin nutrient extractor. (Volume of the shake will increase up to 22 ounces). Blend until smooth. Serve in a tall glass.

Note: for a thicker, whipped consistency, replace the fresh strawberries with frozen, using only 3 ice cubes instead of 8. The texture is more like soft serve ice cream. Serve with a spoon.
