I just bought my first of protein powered (vanilla). Went by directions and not terrible with just water, but not so hot either. I also tried it with skim milk and added some frozen berries I had in the freezer for a replacement meal and it could of been better but way to many seeds. Any more suggestions/recipes that someone could share with me?

P.S. How can you get the thread to show you most recent post when you go in? Every time I come into the recipe site I have to go to the last page.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah the possibilities here are endless

Lets see, some of my favorites include:
1) Vanilla PP, 1/2 banana, and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2) Vanilla or choc PP and berries (any kind they are all good)
3) Vanilla or choc PP, 6 oz coffee

Those are just a few of the really good ones, you can also try adding in just a tbl of some SF/FF pudding mixes to change variety around and it makes it a little thicker too

I had just went in and asked this question agian because I couldn't find any responses. Having trouble because I have to go to last page...anyway...these sound very good but do you just add water? or skim milk or just ice??

Depending on your macro allottment for your meal plan, you can use ice + skim milk or ice + water.....

I have seen allot of you talking about eating brown rice so last night I cook enough chicken for the week and some brown rice.....The rice was less than desirable. Any suggestions to give it a bit of flavor?? Keep in mind that I am from Louisiana and we don't tend to eat things without allot of flavor. I never even heard of anyone eating brown rice and wasn't even sure if it would be sold at the store. I am just looking for several things I can eat so I don't get burnt out for one and for things that are quick and easy so I can take to work with me for lunch. Thanks!

Mix in any type of veggies, salsa and/or spices......brown rice can tend to be a little dry when reheating, so I like to add a touch of water/broth to moisten it up......
