Topic: Whey Powder Recipies

[PKRainbowChaser]

Ive been using whey powder for a while now and as far as I can tell its really been helping me with some muscle development. The only problem is that Im starting to get bored with my current recipes and was wondering if anyone else out there had any good suggestions for how to take their whey? 

Heres how I usually take my yum yum powder.
Mix with oatmeal in the morning and throw in some sort of fruit.
Strawberry shake with some strawberry cranberry juice, some strawberrys, some whey powder, some yogurt, and a scoop of ice cream.

I also just found some chocolate flavored stuff which makes some kickin chocolate milk. (you make that by adding milk  )

As you can see I've been rather unimaginative in the kitchen department so if anyone has anything that theyve experimented with and would like to share with me that would be super. 
Some solid foods would be nice if anyones tried anything like that. Its nice to chew food every now and than.
I have chocolate, vanilla, and mixed berry flavored whey powder if that helps.
Thanks in advance to all the PKchefs out there

Don't you have the flavored ones?

Heck, I just mix em with water and go.  (Though it's much more smooth in the blender.)
Right now I have a huge ass tub of Higher Power vanilla flavored Whey.  Works well for me, and blends well too.

Just watch the sugar content cuz some brands are loaded up with sugar.

If I was making a shake, yea some yogurt, some milk, frozen berries maybe - and a teeny bit of olive oil (helps blend better, doesn't get clumpy).

I have some strawberry whey powder, and usually I just mix it with some frozen fruit and some water.  The only problem is that I'm usually just to lazy to make them . I haven't tried this yet, but I was thinking about putting some peanut butter, banana, and ice cream in there.  I've done that without the powder and it tastes yummy , I like to call them monkey shakes

Alright, first off, definitely skip the high-sugar proteins...they're pretty much crap for everything but post-workout nutrition which has a negligible effect for most training (This is where Danno should come in and give me a hard time about our previous protein argument...)

Second, I really like protein powder for creating a quick, portable meal when I don't have time to cook, and here is how I most-often make it:

One scoop protein powder (22g)
1 cup frozen blueberries, strawberries, rasberries
1 cup milk
1/3 cup dry oatmeal
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoons natural peanut butter (just peanuts, no hydrogenated oils)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt

Blend and add water as needed to reach the desired consitency. With this shake you are getting TONS of good stuff- healthy fats (olive oil and natural peanut butter), tons of anti-oxidants amongst other vitamins (frozen berries), some good live/active cultures (yogurt), low GI carbs and fiber (oatmeal), and of course, protein (whey, milk, yogurt).

You end up with a bit over 30g protein, ~36g carbohydrates, and ~15-20g fat (depending on the fat-content of the milk and yogurt), and it works as an excellent breakfast that fills you up and keeps you filled up FOREVER.

hey guys...sorry its taken me so long to get back but someone *  guilty look *  decided to be a complete ass and go and break his collar bone after screwing up on a fairly easy roll. *more guilty lookage* ive regained enough mobility to type now so here i am although i probly should be resting some more. but anyways

@ godo
yeah sometimes i mix em with water, but like i said....boring. i was just wondering if anyone did anything cool and exciting with it. like i dunno...baked a cake or something....dont know why but i really want to try that lol

@ cheetah
hahaha monkey shakes! thats brilliant! ill be sure to try that one soon....(why is there no monkey smiley either???)

@ gear
yeah i dont use anything with too much sugar in it. i think it has like 8 sugar to 17 protien....maybe that is alot. i dont know. all i know is that it makes super yummy chocolate milkshakes. 
and thanks for your little shake input. that also sounds really good actualy and i cant wait to try it.


okay thanks again everyone. although i probly wont get a chance to try any of these yet. im taking extra calcium to heal faster and i read that high protien levels can cause you to loose more calcium in your...ahem urinary excretion.
as soon as im in one piece again ill be sure to be sucking down as much protien as i can again to regain all this muscle that i can just feel deteriorating with imobility.

I usually just mix 1/4 of a cup with 16 OZ of milk (Like it says on the box, lol). It tastes like crap, especially if you let it sit and it gets all chunky eeewww... anyways I was watching some behind the scenes thing from the UFC and they were following around Rich "Ace" Franklin (Middleweight champion of UFC: 42, UFC: 44, UFC: 50, The ultimate fighter finale 1, UFC: 53, UFC: 56 and UFC: 58, he has a record of 22-1-0 so yeah a top notch fighter((and my favorite))) and he has a daily whey shake with Flax seed oil, 1/2 of a banana, 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1/4th a cup of whey protien all in a blender with 16 OZ of milk.
