how many calories are you trying to get per day connely?     i was doing this shake for breakfast, and getting around a 3500 calorie per day bulk.


tastes good, but the secret ingredient of mine is peanut butter.  if you like it.. you'll enjoy this shake.


grab your blender,

put in 2 cups of skim/1%/2% milk (up to you.. but the lowest fat will be with skim of course)
1 cup of oatmeal (uncooked)
1 heaping scoop of whey protein powder (vanilla, OR chocolate.. i like the chocolate better myself)
maybe a little bit of ice if you want the smoothie colder, up to you

and the final ingredient is a nice big spoonful of peanut butter.  be generous with it now


mix that biznitch up real good on liquify mode and drink up.     it's going to be a lot to drink, and the oatmeal will be a little bit noticeable, but if you blend it for a good minute or so it shouldn't be too bad.


you need to be eating this for breakfast during a bulk.   it should be your biggest meal.
give it a try, if you don't like it.. that's cool. my feelings won't be hurt

some cottage cheese
Almonds, walnuts or pecans
2 scoops vanilla whey
add some water or milk

don't think i said that in this thread.....might have said it a while back though. 

i try to avoid fruit  mostly, but having some in moderation isn't bad for you....

this one looks good too.  (not enough protein though)

Ingredients
1 tbsp linseeds, ground
200ml skimmed milk
1 medium banana
3 apples
3 heaped tbsp low fat natural yoghurt
40g organic jumbo oats
1 scoop whey protein powder
1 tbsp wheat grass
Water to desired consistency
Method
Put linseeds into a clean, dry blender/smoothie maker and whiz them on their own to ensure they are ground well. Add chopped fruit, milk and oats and blend well, ensuring fruit is puréed and oats are ground and you have a smoothie texture. Add protein powder, wheat grass and finally the yoghurt and blend well again. There will be large volume so you may have to help the mixture with a spoon. (Safety: ensure blender is turned off at power before putting a spoon into the blender!). The resulting mixture should be lump-free, smooth and drinkable; however, should you prefer a thinner consistency smoothie then simply add more water.
Pour half the mixture into a sealed container and immediately refrigerate to be consumed within 12 hours. Preparation and cleaning up can be fairly time consuming, so allow 20 mins to make and tidy up afterwards.

If you use ON Whey, then the 3 scoops are EXPENSIVE, and a ton of proteins. Doesn't look like ON based on the nutritional information. Probably EAS looking.

Here's one I wanted to try out:

1 cup soy milk (you can probably use regular as well)
3 tablespoons PLAIN live culture yoghurt
2 scoops true protein egg white protein (but I bet unflavored whey would do).
2 whole omega 3 eggs (they can be regular also)
1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen blueberries (frozen for taste)

73g proteins, 31g carbs, 22g fat, and use egg whites if fat is scary. It's supposed to taste AMAZING, but I dunno about raw eggs, haha.

Ah, sorry man, I have no idea. Here's where I found it: http://www.ironaddicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11016

Looking at the ingredients, I'd have to say around 600.

EDIT: 100 from milk, 100 from yogurt, 150 from eggs (depends on size), probably 250+ for protein, and 50 from blueberries I think

for the builders, add your protein powders to anything, but remember that veggie smoothies are better for you than fruit varieties.....except perhaps for post-workout.

I am also trying for recipes. I have some tips to get it fast and properly. There are plenty of healthy benefits of drinking smoothies. Blended smoothies are great for a concentrated nutritious meal that's ready in minutes. Depending on the ingredients you choose, smoothie recipes can be packed with protein, vitamins, and other nutrients. Smoothies can refresh and energize your nutrition-starved body. They are an easy way to pack a lot of fruits and vegetables into one meal or snack.

Haha how ironic, I just made a smoothie the first time this morning in forever and while drinking it, I stumble upon this.
The taste of this smoothie is pretty damn good.
I added:
 
1 Scoop of ON natural chocolate whey
12 OZ of water I guess
A LOT of blueberries (they pwn)
Tbsp of All Natty PB
3 Raw eggs (you won't be able to taste them, i know I can't)

Nothing is wrong with it, but EAS is 2 scoops for 27g vs. the 1 scoop for 24g of ON. The recipe calls for 3 scoops, but the nutritional value boomer provided is only 47g of protein.

I said 3 scoops of ON would be expensive (especially on a daily basis), and that the nutritional value doesn't add up anyway, so it's probably EAS protein, not on ON.

Using raw eggs is the worst move, ever.

Unless you're in a Rocky Balboa training montage, you will inevitably get salmonella poisoning:

http://www.foodborneillness.com/salmonella_food_poisoning/

You'll be in the bathroom so much, yakking out of both ends, and unable to eat, that you'll lose an easy 8-10lbs in a few days.

My friend got that from making frankenstein protein drinks with raw eggs in them, and it wasn't pretty.

As for 73g of protein in the shake, I doubt the average person could metabolize all of that so leaving the eggs out altogether wouldn't detract from anything.

 
You also dont get all the nutritional value of the egg if they are raw. Pasterized is ok but otherwise you waste some and could end up on the ****ter.

The egg whites are fine as long as they're pasturized, that eliminates salmonella.

I had no idea, haha. I also heard EAS protein is 2 scoops for 27, but I guess not, haha.

Either way, it doesn't look like it adds up.

1g of protein or carbs = 4 calories
1g of fat = 9 calories

(73 x 4) + (31 x 4) + (22 + 9) = 614 calories

Just for future reference.
