I would not drink it for a desert or anything (it is not an ice cream shake substitute). I think it tastes good, and it is pretty healthy too. Note that my protein does not have sweetener in it, so the sweetness comes completely from the fruits.<\/p>\n<h1>Ingredients<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>1 Raw Banana<\/li>\n<li>5 Frozen Strawberries<\/li>\n<li>1 Scoop of Protein Powder<\/li>\n<li>.5 Cups of Quaker Oats<\/li>\n<li>1.5 Cups of Skim Milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I prefer to use raw banana as opposed to frozen because when I used frozen bananas the shake became very &#8220;icy&#8221; instead of liquid (which I prefer). If you prefer an icy kind of smoothy consistency, then using frozen banana may make more sense.<\/p>\n<p>For strawberries, I typically buy the 6 pound bag of frozen strawberries in bulk from Costco if you are going to drink this thing every day. It really saves time and money (because you don&#8217;t have to keep going to the store to get smaller packages).<\/p>\n<p>I get all my protein from <a title=\"Protein Factory\" href=\"http:\/\/www.proteinfactory.com\">Protein Factory<\/a> and what I get is usually basically Whey. I get chocolate flavored with no artificial sweeteners (I do not use artificial sweeteners ever).<\/p>\n<p>For the Oats, I also typically get the very large Old Fashioned Quaker Oats from Costco. It comes in a 10 pound container, so that you can feel like you are eating the quantity of Oats a horse would eat.<\/p>\n<h1>Instructions<\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>Put the Quaker Oats (dry) into the blender and blend on the highest setting for around 10 seconds. This will get the oats to as close to a &#8220;flour&#8221; consistency as possible and give you a smoother shake.<\/li>\n<li>Put all the rest of the ingredients in.<\/li>\n<li>A quick tip for bananas. Always break the banana in your hands a number of times into pieces because you never know when the middle of the banana could be bad. I remember biting into a banana I bought at Walmart in College and the entire middle was black without the outside showing any signs.<\/li>\n<li>Blend.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I use a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005I72LMU\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=sharecentric-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005I72LMU\">Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"htmmsnvbkayonwxaotax\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=sharecentric-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B005I72LMU\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> which I cannot say enough good things about. This blender is the best blender I have ever owned and well worth the money. It is very quiet compared to other blenders, does a great job, and is literally set it and forget it with the &#8220;smoothy&#8221; button which does everything for you.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the
