Protein shakes or what I call green smoothies is how I get all my fruits and vegetables in....well most of them. Try putting kale, spinach, arugala, chard, collard green into your drink. Easiest way I know to get my green leafy vegetable into me.

I love protein shakes! I always make mine with chocolate whey powder, some type of fruit (currently using bananas), 1/2 cup of milk, and ice. Sometimes on days I am low on calories, I add a TB of peanut butter.

My only recommendation would be to try your powder with soy milk instead of standard milk or water. The richer flavour adds a nice touch.
