nutritional shakes (shaker/blender ball compatible)
What does everyone like to do for easy protein/nutritional shakes? I'm on a med regimen that messes with my appetite, and I've found shakes useful for times when solid food is not going to happen

Do not ever buy the chocolate flavored stuff of ANY brand because it's always awful.
Do not get Sun Warrior Protein--it may be vegan but that's the ONLY good thing about it. Yuck!
Okay then--I do a LOT of protein shakes. I use Vega protein, or a brand with at least 15 grams of protein and pea protein. Pea blends better than the others. A mix of pea and hemp protein is great when you can find it. Base shake is one cup of almond milk, one scoop/packet of protein powder, 1-2 large handfuls of spinach (raw or frozen.) Don't worry, you really cannot taste the spinach. You can always add a small *Ripe* banana to give it some body.
To flavor: try 1 cup frozen cherries with about a tablespoon of fresh minced ginger (current favorite)
OR--1 cup fresh (or frozen) pineapple with some fresh chopped mint (do not use mint extract--eek!)
OR--1 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh) and a touch of vanilla extract
OR .5 tsp vanilla extract and .5 tsp orange extract (you can try using fresh tangerines)
You get the idea. About a cup of any fruit you like--Oh, I forgot, mango and pineapple!_
Add 4-5 ice cubes and blend it until it's really smooth and thick.
