For Mary… Vanilla Protein Shakes

This one is for Mary!

And of course anyone else at the studio who uses vanilla protein powder in their shakes.

Remember you can spice up and trick out vanilla beyond water and ice cubes.

I personally blend with a Vita-Mix, as does Alicia, they are fantastic blenders and you can create narly stuff with them, but none the less, you can also make any of these with any commercial blender.

I also must admit I’m more of a chocolate man, but, after reading these I may have to filter in a tub of vanilla soon!

When Everything Is Alright

Here are some shake recipes I found and altered a tiny bit from Sherdog Forums and Pimp My Protein Shake:
