Get your drink on!

Question of the day: I don’t use almond milk. I use cow’s milk. Can I replace cow’s milk for almond milk in a green monster?



Of course! In fact you don’t have to use milk at all if you prefer. I have made many Green Monsters just using water; although I do prefer a little thicker and flavorful base, such as almond milk. I have also used soy milk but I am not a huge fan of soy to begin with.


Question of the day: What is your favorite protein powder for smoothies?


Unfortunately, protein powders are very foreign to me as I do not use any form of protein powder in my shakes. I do however love Amazing Grass products. I used to make my shakes with Amazing Meal and they were wonderful! Amazing Grass products are raw, vegan and full of essential nutrients and vitamins. But for the last 6 months or so I only use fruit and spinach for my shakes. Sorry I wasn’t able to answer your question on protein powders. Does anyone have any good information on protein powders?

    I like Lifetime Life's Basics vanilla complete plant protein powder–whew, that was a long title, lol. It's very tasty, 100% vegan and complete protein. It smells REALLY good when you open it, too! It's pricey, but I don't use it often, so a container last me 6+ months.Jenn

    I just use water in my smoothies, but Brazil nut milk is also great in them.My favorite protein powder is hemp protein.

    My favorite protein powder is my regular store's own label. It contains a bit of sucralose, which I try to avoid, but doesn't affect me negatively in the protein (headaches) and has overall less sugar than any other brand I've tried. Plus, it's cheaper, and tastes like cake frosting! I use a little less than a full scoop per 8oz milk.
