Did you know you can make your protein shake or fruit smoothie as thick or as thin as you'd like? Whether you want your protein shakes to simply mimic a McDonald's chocolate or strawberry shake, or you'd rather have a frozen treat it tastes more like chocolate or strawberry ice cream but without the fat and calories, you can do it with a few simple ingredients and your blender or ninja. I prefer the ninja because it does a much better job blending the frozen ingredients than a typical blender. If you don't have the ninja, a blender will work or even the magic bullet.

So what are the magic ingredients that make the best tasting protein shakes, fruit smoothies, meal replacement shakes? The ingredient that gives your protein shakes that smooth creamy cold texture just like ice cream, is bananas! Not just any bananas, but frozen bananas.

There are a lot of good protein shake recipes out there but the ones that I keep going back to will always contain frozen bananas because of the texture that it gives my drink.
