Amazing in smoothiesJun 24, 2009
By Jolly Green Giant
I use this twice a day in my smoothies, and it's wonderful. I'm not sure how well it blends with straight water for the hard core protein drinkers, but I use one scoop twice a day in my smoothie.
Here's my recipe for a weight loss smoothie:
1/2 banana (frozen is best)
1/2 cup strawberries (frozen is best)
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup ice
3-6 oz. yogurt - any flavor
Blend with kool-aid prepared with Stevia, crystal light, Stevia Bright, Orange Flavor, or juice until desired consistency.
Here's my recipe for a weight gain smoothie:
1 banana
1 packet calcium fortified hot cocoa
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup ice
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
3-6 oz. vanilla yogurt
Blend with soy milk until desired consistency.
Very low calorie frothy beverage:
1/2 cup frozen strawberies
1 scoop protein powder
3 ice cubes
blend with your favorite cold crystal light beverage
Both of these smoothie recipes make a very large, meal-sized smoothie. Splitting it with a friend or a spouse makes sense if it's just a snack rather than a meal replacement. If you're just wanting the protein powder and need it to taste better, the last recipe is really good but very low calorie.
This protein powder really helps me to control hunger and add a healthy start to my day. I have one for breakfast almost every day.
I use the Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender, Black and it comes out just as smooth and delicious as if I bought it from the local smoothie shop.

EAS ProteinSep 09, 2009
By Max v
I got this at costco for a great price and wow! The taste is so good. Ive had many different types (brands) of protein powders and this really does it. Its actually enjoyable and craving. Just like a vannila shake. The flavor with water is quite unbearable but with 2% milk you got yourself a shake. (The Mix+Milk)=:)

Cancer fighter through good healthAug 19, 2011

I don't use whey protein for weight gain. I know that's the most common use. Here is my story;
When my wife was first diagnosed with cancer, our family doctor gave a little advice on nutrition. "Buy a bag of Whey Protein from Costco (they sold it then), and have it with some kind of mixed fruit and soy milk every morning." That was almost 5 years ago. My wife's cancer is never going to go into remission (due to the type), but she's still around and doing fine. Besides many other things we have changed in our diet and habits (and we added lots of prayer), I can say without hesitation that the advice my doctor gave was worthy of passing on. After many trial and errors of mixing this and that, I came up with the following recipe: (note, when you are not feeling well, the food you eat can often be disgusting and unpalatable. Usually this is due to strong flavors or sweetness. I try to keep the over-all flavor somewhat bland, but refreshing. I've found that even when she has a strong repulsion to eating food, this mix is still palatable. That's important to keep up strength when fighting a disease like cancer).
In a blender, add:
1. ½ cup of EAS vanilla whey protein
2. 1 large hand full of frozen spinach (I buy fresh baby spinach from Costco and freeze it)
3. ½ cup of unsweetened frozen mixed berries (Kirkland brand from Costco)
4. ½ cup of unsweetened Soy Milk (add more as needed for smoothie blend) If the carton doesn't say unsweetened, it is sweetened.
5. ½ cup of cranberry juice (add more as needed)
Mix until creamy and smooth
This will give you at least 2, maybe 3 - 6 ounce glasses of a great smoothie.
Since Costco stopped selling EAS, we have tried other brands. Yuck! They all have a strong phony taste. Tried to use the "Muscle Milk" they now sell, but boy, that stuff is bad tasting if you want a low flavor whey protein. There may be a little sugar in the EAS brand, but that's all the sweetness necessary in the smoothie I mix each and every day.
