One of my favorite combos is:
Banana and peanut butter :-)

Breakfast Shake
8.5 of 10. I'm not including the picture of this one because I mixed it with dry oatmeal and water in a hotel room and didn't have a microwave... so it didn't mix up extremely well (which wasn't too surprising!). I was still able to enjoy the nice, mellow chocolate flavor. I was happy to find that it didn't taste "high protein" like some shake mixes can.
Vanilla Dream
8 of 10. Great vanilla aroma, but the flavor itself wasn't as strong as I would have liked. It mixed in well with the Malt-O-Meal that I was able to cook in a microwave :-).
Blended Bliss
9.5 of 10. Fabulous strawberry banana flavor! I really enjoyed the little bits of strawberries, especially since I wasn't really expecting them :-). It worked wonderfully in my Malt-O-Meal.
Overall, the YouShakes were decent except for the Blended Bliss that blew me away. Therefore, while some of their flavors may not be that exceptional, you should be able to make one that you like. Besides, they offer a satisfaction guarantee, so you can't really go wrong even if you do get a flavor that you don't enjoy.
I'm also pretty sure that you can all still receive a 5% discount on an order through YouBar if you use my discount code “FoodFotos”.
And.... the flowers are blooming on campus at Iowa State! I was so excited that I took a couple pictures for you.
I hope you all have a great Easter if you celebrate it, and if not, have a wonderful first weekend of April!

ReplyDeleteInteresting custom shakes! I didn't go to their web site yet, so tell me, are you supposed to mix the powder with water, milk, or what?? Did you just for fun mix it with malto meal and oatmeal? ...or do they suggest that? Just curious. I like the cute little flowers! THINK SPRING!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the questions Jess! I just updated the post to address them :-)

ReplyDeleteThose youshakes look really interesting. I imagine they would be great for some fuel on the go! :) I love peanut butter and banana, too!
Happy Easter!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for shakes! We had something kinda similar to thicken up wine to slushes. Similar idea, anyways. We loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool...but haha, they dfeinitely do NOT look attractive! I wonder what my friends will say when I come up with a tupperware of that for snack! HEe hee hee....
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting! There are a lot of companies like this now, it seems. Especially with the granola companies that now have you make your own. So the strawberry and bananas was your favorite?? Sounds good to me!
