Costco protein shakes.....

Does anybody use protein shake mix from Costco?  How do you fix it?  I have the vanilla and I tried it with water (to keep calories down - there is 110 in the mix) and some frozen berry mix...... yuck!  Couldn't handle it.  I realize the not everything that is good for you tastes good too, but I really can't drink it like that.  Now I have this big tub and I need ideas.  I am really trying to keep it low calorie.  

I haven't tried it but I remember reading from someone else on this site (I can't remember who), that the vanilla is terrible, but the chocolate is extremely good.

As for the vanilla, I would probably make a smoothie out of it (frozen fruit, skim milk, yogurt etc.). That's what I do with my vanilla soy mix that I don't especially like the taste of and I can barely notice it in there.

I haven't tried the Costco vanilla, but I've got some other vanilla shakes that I mix either peanut butter or a banana with (or both, if I want a bunch of calories for breakfast).  I won't drink them by themselves, but I like them enough with either of those combinations that I'll keep buying them.

I buy the vanilla brand from Costco. I'm not a big fan, but my husband loves to drink it with just skim milk. I add low-fat frozen yogourt, peanut butter, and skim milk, and it's delicious.

Not a big fan either of the vanilla but you can try.....

1/2 cup skim milk or light vanilla soy milk

1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt

1/2 cup fresh/frozen strawberries

1 scoop protein powder

4-5 ice cubs

blend until smooth...tastes like a strawberry shake! 

Chocolate is so much better. But this isn't too bad. 

I have been using the chocolate protein from Costco as a workout drink.   I usually mix two scoops with cold black coffee.  I think the vanilla would also taste good with coffee.   I have had a different brand of vanilla whey protein which I mixed with plain yogurt and strawberries, then blended it.  Mmmm, it was delicious! 

You definitely enjoy it more if you are really hungry for some calories, like right after a workout.

Enjoy!  :)
