Protein Shake Creation

Damon [no longer around] said Apr 29, 2007, 4:43 AM:
 

Now being a Lacto-vegetarian Protein shakes have been a must as a vital source of this essential macronutrient.  I thought I might share my latest mixture that I have at least twice a day.  Now this isnt going to win a taste test award but it sure seems to work for me:

5 tablespoons of Whey Protein Isolate
1 teaspoon of Super Greens (combination of barley grass, spurilina, and other greens product)
1/2 tablespoon of creatine
1 teaspoon of goji berry powder (although I prefer the 100% goji juice)
200ml peach, guava, and coconut juice
300ml filtered water
1 teaspoon of flax seed oil

My wife likens the mixture to a swamp - but regardless of her taunts I actually like the taste.  Ive estimated that the mixture costs about  A$2.40 (US$2.10) so its pretty good value considering the ingredients.  If I have this at night I will follow it up with a teaspoon of nut butter - combination of almond, hazelnut and brazil nut.

I dont expect anytime soon that Shawn Phillips will bring out a FullStrength verison of this but try it out yourself.  By the way if anyone else as their own versions of the protein shake post it on the site.
