Best protein shake ever

[Shellyf34]

Well, I have been experimenting with my protein powder (Aria Women's Protein, vanilla and chocolate) to make a really good shake, and I found a winner!

In blender:

four ice cubes (crush first)
two scoops Vanilla Aria protein (any "vanilla" flavored protein powder will work, unsweetened of course)
1/4 tsp. cocoanut extract
1/4 tsp. pineapple extract
1/3 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup cold water
2 packets Splenda

Blend all this together until "frothy" and poor in a large glass. perfect Pina Colada protein shake to start your day! :D Sans rum, of course. ;)

Aria Womens Protein shake mix is the one I use also. It actually TASTES good, (or neutral), and keeps me FULL for 4 hours or so!!! (a miracle)

I use unsweetened soymilk, vanilla or regular
2 scoops powder
2 ice cubes
1 packet of Splenda

...then I fool around with any number of ingredients

...some blueberries or strawberries
...some extract like vanilla or almond
...a little plain yogurt
...a little tofu

or wherever your imagination takes you, even coffee, (if I buy some instant)

OH!!! AND I WANT TO TRY IT WITH SOME VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE PUDDING MIX ADDED!!!! Doesn't that sound TOTALLY delicious? These are filling, low calorie, and tasty!!!!

I have all the ingredients except that brand of protein shake, but
I'll try it with the one I have.
