Protein shake recipes

As I mentioned last week, I recently embarked on a high protein diet. This includes the Shaklee Cinch(TM) shake powder used in drinks once, but usually twice, a day. The shakes don't taste too bad on their own but recently the chef in me has come out to play with these to avoid boredom. The following shake recipes can be used with chocolate flavored protein powder, but I'd venture to guess they'd be just as delicious with vanilla! If you're watching calories/fat make sure you add the "extras" into your daily counts as the small amounts will start to add up. Also I don't know how you make your protein shakes, but mine call for 1 C non fat milk. Hopefully you will find these recipes useful no matter what protein powder you choose, and amend them appropriately!
