I have been doing a twist on my protein shakes. It's pretty interesting.

I make a chocolate protein shake with:

*1 scoop Bio-Plex whey protein powder (chocolate mousse flavor)
*16 oz water (or a bit more)
*1/4 cup almond milk
*2T flax seed ground or 1 tsp physillium
*1T flax oil
*some egg white powder (less than a tablespoon, more than a teaspoon)(makes the shake frothy)
*I shake some cinammon (more) and some cayenne pepper (just a little) into the mix
*some Wondercocoa (optional)
*about a tray of ice cubes to make a more frozen mix or at least 8 ice cubes
*some Stevia plus to taste
*I might also throw in some DaVinci or Torani syrups

I blend in my Vita-Mix blender and enjoy. I get a bit more than 32 oz from this, but I like it that way.

I might substitute the chocolate flavor with unsweetened cranberry juice, DaVinci or Torani syrup in raspberry or strawberry, and use natural flavored protein powder. I have not tried adding the cayenne to this fruit-flavored mixture. I do add Vitamin C crystals.
