    Thank you for sharing your protein shake recipe.
    Nice site. very informative :)

  2. Karen M says:

    Thanks I will check these out – do you have caloric information by chance?

  3. Steve says:

    I really don’t have the nutritional information for most of these. Some are so simple that you can probably figure them out in your head. It would take me far to long to compile that info for all these recipes, so you won’t be seeing it anytime soon. Sorry.

  4. thefightgeek says:

    great list of shakes. Thanks.

    cheers

  5. Baby boomer says:

    Great recipes, I’m a baby boomer and need a protein shake every morning just to maintain muscle mass, this will really make it easier, thanks.

  6. JANAE says:

    Will these shake aid in weight loos or weight gain?

  7. Steve says:

    I haven’t mentioned which shakes are weight gainers or weight losers. Some of them make mention of ’skinny’ or ‘gainer’ or some other tell-tale word. Otherwise look at the ingredients. If it has a fatty ingredient like oil, cream, weight gainer powder, peanut butter, etc… OR a high sugar ingredient, than it’s a weight gain shake. Otherwise it’s either a plain protein shake or a weight loss shake.

  15. Chris says:

    Which gives the most solid weight gain, protein and fat or protein and carbs?

  16. Steve says:

    Chris:
    Protein and fat is good for lean muscle gain, while protein and carbs is good for an overall ‘bulking’ phase. You might also choose P&C pre workout or post weight training workout, which you might choose P&F in the morning, before or after a cardio workout, at night, or if you are on a low carb diet.

  17. Danielle says:

    Two Questions: 1) Do you take a Super Greens type supplement, and if so, have you found ANYTHING that makes the taste and consistency more bearable? I’m having a hard time getting it down and have heard that smoothies or juice might be a good option.
    2) Any suggestions on a brand of blender to make good smoothies, shakes, etc? Willing to invest if it’s really good. Thanks!

  18. Tyler says:

    do people really use raw eggs

  19. Steve says:

    Danielle:
    1) I don’t take Super Greens, sorry.
    2) I’m not 100% sure which blender I have, in fact I haven’t used it in a year or so.

    Tyler:
    People do use raw eggs, but they shouldn’t. There’s really no need to put raw eggs in protein shakes or anything else unless you’re going to cook it.

  20. David says:

    I add cooked egg whites (hard-boiled) to my protein shakes. As long as you add a banana and some frozen fruit you can’t taste the eggs.

    8 oz Soy milk
    1/2 cup frozen peaches
    1/2 cup frozen strawberries
    1 large banana
    Hard-boiled eggs (no yolk)
    –> 1 egg = 7g protein

    It’s incredibly easy to change the flavor and texture depending on personal taste. Just substitute different fruits, maybe add some juice, or other flavored soy milk (chocolate, strawberry, coffee, etc).

  21. Stephanie says:

    As far as taking a Greens supplement, I’ve tried Greens+ out of Cananda, and the only way I can get it down is through a smoothie, and even still it’s awful. I’ve found that peanut butter masks the taste of it. My friend likes it with blueberries and peanut butter, but I prefer it with strawberries, or even mixed fruit with peanut butter. To me, the thicker the shake, the better. Maybe try it with bananas and peanut butter and chocolate whey. Chocolate seems to mask it better than vanilla too.

  22. Steve says:

    Stephanie: Greens supplements seem to ruin everything. I frequently enjoy acai beverages, as you may know, but anything containing acai mixed with greens always tastes nasty. You should definitely attempt to mask your greens with flavor-heavy ingredients like peanut butter and chocolate. Maybe you should switch to low-sodium V8 juice. =)

    Awesome!! Thanks, now I can add some life to my post workout protein shake or even a great quick morning breakfast!!
    Would you recommend, though, the egg shakes for me? (I am a girl, 18 and building muscle with the goal of decreasing fat loss from my body, no intentions of gaining weight at all tho!)

  24. Terri says:

    I have been reading some of the questions and the one that really caught my eye was Danielle’s regarding super greens. I use to take a product called Barley Green by Aim, and I just took it in Apple juice, it was quite pleasant tasting though. I am not familiar with Super Greens however, so it may have a stronger taste. I always found Barley Green tasted like hay smells, if that makes any sense to you.

    Very nice recipes!
    Actually, I am 27 years old and have started working out around 4 months ago with a target of gaining weight of about 10 lbs. But till now there is no much change in weight except some cuts in my muscles. I was just wondering if I need extra protein to gain weight. Please suggest.

    • Steve says:

      Moon:
      If you are working out and getting cut, you need to increase calories. I suggest increasing protein until you are at 1 lb of protein per lb of DESIRED bodyweight. Once that is done you can start to add complex carbs before and after your workouts, make sure you eat breakfast, and make sure you are eating every 3 hours throughout the day.

  26. Moon says:

    Steve:
    Thank you very much for nice suggestion. I will try to follow that through. Just one confusion regarding the line “I suggest increasing protein until you are at 1 lb of protein per lb of DESIRED bodyweight.”. Highly appreciate your explanation.

    Also, it would be nice, if you can tell what kind of foods shall I take in each meal.

    Some really solid recipies here.
    However…
    I was wondering how much more effective these shakes would be with a 50mg liquid dbol floater in them-
    My big brother and his bro’s all do this and they are encouraging me to follow…
    a.) what shake recepie would complement the dbol best? (tastyness and effectiveness)
    b.) do you think one of these every day from now until summer will help me make football tryouts?
    Thanks a bunch,

    Matty D

    • Steve says:

      Matty D: I don’t advise you to take dbol at all. You should be at least 21 years old and should have attempted to max out your natural physical potential before ever thinking about steroids. I know it’s not fair if other people are using them to make the football team, but I don’t advocate any of it. If you lift heavy and often, eat a ton of food, and use the right legal supplements, you should still be able to make impressive gains – especially if you are a teenager.

      Want to make football tryouts? Study, practice, lift heavy, eat protein, sleep 8 hours every night, and limit the summer partying with your friends, or at least avoid drugs and alcohol.

    MattyD-
    I was in the same boat (yacht) u were brah.
    Kids told me i looked like ryan sheckler, at that point, i felt my choices were limited.
    I drove a Cobalt SS, there was no other option, i had to take dbol.
    Seemed like i had everything, hot girls big muscles, fast whip.
    But when i stopped taking it, my life seemed to crumble, lost everything.
    Now i drive a malibu and i use about 35mg of TrimSpa in each of my protien shakes. I may have a bit of gyno (manboobs) from the dbol, but id rather live a trimspa life.
    Lesson learned, you dont have to drive the SS cobalt to make the football team. you can just drive a malibu, sit on the sidelines, and have just as much fun.
    i made the team every year, i might have been a back up qb and long snapper, but it was worth it in the end.
    Now i have a kitten and the girl of my dreams.

    I like to drink a protein shake with two scoops of protein some kind of fruit and a scoop of folgers coffee grounds. It makes me feel awsome and my workouts go great I feel like i am on the juice. Am i hurting my insides if i do this regularly? Should i be worried healthwise?

  41. Ron says:

    I love the frozen chocolate banana……I’m trying to lose weight (35 lbs)….can this drink be used as a meal replacement?

  42. Brenda says:

    These sound wonderful and something I can handle. I am starting a weight loss program and know that Protein is of the utmost importance. Are the recipes female friendly, or would you recommend tweaking them a bit?
    Thanks so much
