Introduction
This is an easy way to make a good-tasting protein base that you can add anything you like to. I usually have one of these before and/or after a workout or simply because I don't feel like eating but don't want to ruin my eating schedule. I usually add strawberries, Peaches, Mangoes, or whatever I have in the fridge/freezer to spruce it up. You can add some chocolate if you feel like cheating, or a bit of yogurt to make it thicker.

Ingredients
-
A Blender (or a spoon and a big cup)
1 Scoop of Whey Protein (I use Designer Whey Vanilla)
1 Cup Milk (I Use 2%, but you can use any) (If you are lactose intolerant, you can substitute Soy Milk or even Juice)
1 Banana (this is a thickening and sweetening agent, but not necessary)
OPTIONAL: Add a few cubes of ice if you are using juice. Frozen fruit works just like ice.
Directions
Makes 1 serving (about 1.5 - 2 cups)
1. Add all ingredients to blender. If you are using frozen fruit or ice, add that first so it's on the bottom.
2. If you added anything frozen, pulse the blender on an ice setting about 6 or 7 times until the frozen ingredients are pulverished. Then, blend on a Smoothie or Milkshake setting. If you don't have those, use a blend then liquify settings, but quickly. Should take about 30 - 45 seconds total.
3. Pour into a glass and garnish with fruit, if you wish, and enjoy!
NOTE: This is much easier in a blender, especially if you will be using frozen or fresh fruit. If you don't have a blender or food processor, leave out the frozen ingredients, mash the banana, and stir everything together vigorously.
