We’ll start basic here: why not mix together chocolate and vanilla? You’ve probably got them both on your shelf already. If you don’t, give THESE ones from Quest a try. They’re our favorite all-purpose powders. The macros are great, and they taste darn good too. Vanilla/Chocolate works for soft-serve doesn’t it? Well, it works even better in the blender. Cut the sugar & calories of all that sweet cream but keep that winning flavor combination in this protein-rich remix. Just two scoops, and this shake’s stacked with the good stuff: 46g of protein with only 4g Net carbs.

The last time you let yourself have a peanut butter cup, you were 12 and wearing a dinosaur costume, begging strangers for candy. (Or maybe you stole a few from your kids’ candy bag this past October). But ever since you got your diet together, you’ve avoided all that sugar like the plague. Why not try an awesome shake with the same flavor, loaded with 27g of protein and only 4 net carbs (dinosaur costume not required).

This one’s such a no-brainer, you’re going to make yourself do 10 extra reps tomorrow to punish yourself for not thinking of it yourself. Mix strawberry and vanilla protein powders. Add water. Add ice. Blend. That’s it. Of course, you’ve gotta use the right powder for it to be worthwhile, but trust us, this one is shockingly delicious for how simple it is. And if you’re the type that doesn’t go for frills, this one lands at a whopping 86% P/Cal (Protein calories).
