Zack Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Raw or not, Post up your favorite Smoothie/Protein Shake recipes. Lately i've been using soy powder, since rice tastes terrible. I'm going to look into pea powder and hemp powder (I found Nutiva for 10 dollars ) next, or in addition to the soy, i'm not really fond of soy isolates. Anyways, lately mine has been like this: BlackberriesBlueberriesOatsSoy Protein PowderGlutamine PowderFlax SeedsRaw Agave Nectar I'd like to get some more ideas on how to make some.

sydneyvegan Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I don't like the taste of Rice Protein at all....That's why I add that Tahini, it hides the Rice Protein and Spirulina taste really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I'll try that, how much do you use? Thanks for the info! Everybody hates rice protein...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyvegan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I use a heaped tablespoon, but I like the bitter taste, so it is very much a personal thing....Unhulled is better and higher in nutrients. Tahini is high in fat, but is is also has lots of protein, Amino acids, Vitamin E, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and B vitamins as well.

kurtjs Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'm going to be the loser here . . . . i love rice protein powder. At first i thought it was god horrible as well . .but after a month or so, it tastes great. I use NOW nutrition plain rice protein powder, and put a lot of cinnamon in it. I also use very little water and make it into a dough almost. That way i eat it instead of drink it. Weird .. . .i know. For smoothies, i acutally usually make a sorbet . .sort of. 2 frozen bananas1 cup frozen blueberries, cherries, strawberries, or peaches12 oz of watereither nutiva hemp protein or rice proteinsometimes flax oil or Udo's oil i mix the powder with water in a shaker cup before i put all these ingredients into a food proccessor. The end result is ice cream. Nothing like a morning brain freeze!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odidnetne Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 When I have everything (and when I'm bulking), I normally eat this as it's own meal: - Some oats- Soymilk- Some OJ (to take the edge off, it sounds gross with soymilk, but it works)- Some peanut butter- Hemp protein- Berries (Whatever) Normally it comes out to several hundred calories, so it works for bulking purposes.

cubby2112 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I don't mind the taste of rice protein at all. It was a little weird at first, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I mainly use it to complement my beans here in my dorm instead of adding rice to them; it acts as a thickening agent (I like bean dishes with thick sauces) as well as adding more protein and better serving to balance it out than plain rice. I can't really stand it in smoothies because of the grainy texture. Same thing with hemp, but the flavor bothers me with that as well. I have to make a sorbet to tolerate it.

rdandrew Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I like rice protein and hemp protein. Pea is alright. Don't like soy - I get enough from my food. Anyone having trouble finding a protein powder needs to use Vega or Vega Infusion. Seriously. That stuff tastes and mixes awesome! Plus it is like a nutrition gold mine. I am just telling you from experience. I have no financial ties to Vega! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiojon Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Here are a couple of smoothies I make #Raw smoothie -two oranges, a lime, a few chunks of Mexican Papaya, banana, frozen berries, and spinach "omit spinach if you aren't down with the green."Start by blending the oranges and juice of the lime. That way you have more of a liquid base to blend the rest. #Protein smoothie-soy, rice or almond milk, a banana, a couple spoons of peanut butter, and protein powder "soy, rice, hemp, etc.." I drink 2-3 smoothies like this a day. This is my version of fast food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
