Protein Shake mixes

[skully]

So I found a website with 70 recipes for protein shakes and these two caught eyes:

Chocolate Coffee Shake

* mix 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder or other protein with:
* 1 cup of skim milk
* 5 ice cubes
* 1 cup of water
* 1 spoonful of instant coffee!


Creamy Coffee Ice Cream

* 1 packet of vanilla protein powder
* 13 oz ice cubes
* 3 oz water
* 2 tsp ground coffee
* Blend the ice cubes until you get a snow. Add the protein, the ground coffee, the water and blend for 5-10 minutes to a smooth consistency. Freeze 30 – 60 minutes for thicker ice cream.

I am trying to come up with something that I could add to protein shake with some "carbs in it", and little fat. I'm getting bored of having protein shake with water alone. and I don't like honey, cinnamon...and stuff....I like it with milk a lot, but after a workout that's not best.

So what can I do the ones above? Add coffee to it perhaps? Or half a scoop of low-fat ice cream?

Honestly...I never tired oats as oats, because I don't really know what they are and how they taste! the only way I've eaten them is in a granola bar, they contain oats right? but it won't be liquidish?

I tried adding PB with a protein shake,it wasn't bad but too heavy on the mouth.

I actually been putting a teaspoon of coffe (with no sugar of course), and it tastes like coffee choco drink...and have it with milk in the morning. OMG it tastes likes HEAVEN!

But I cant out coffee at night or else I won't sleep....any liqiuidy ideas?

I don't like the shake to be too thick like with PB, and aren't oats a crunchy thing? how do you drink that? It's so weird.Lol..

I just realized I honestly don't really have "any" carbs right after workout. I only have the protein shake as it is...and only an hour or two later I'd eat some meat with pasta or bread. I am not sure Im going about this right =S...

Talking to a personal trainer, she said It's fine to have simple carbs after an intensive workout because the muscles need sugars. So does that mean, go have a cookie, an ice cream scoop or a candy bar? Because she herself said "you have something like a cookie.", sure and pack up the fat, right!

I personally, do sometimes, at least once a week or every other week have an ice cream right after a training session, because I know body would be burning it unlike having it say at 11 pm at night.......

either ways...any healthy liquidy-carb suggestions? (non-supplments)

I'm still trying to figure some things out...

I also forgot to point that I am very picky ab out food and stuff, and not everything tastes good for me. Im one of the people whp havea phobia from trying something new!

Oats are only crunchy if they're baked in too much oil. They are soft. I have a great recipe for a protein brownie if you really need a treat. Good stuff.

I would LOVE to get that recipe! Brownies are favorite
