I love smoothies that are the consistency of soft-serve. I use protein powder, milk, and a lot of ice. For example, I make coffee ice cubes, and blend them with chocolate protein powder, milk and a Tbl. of SF DaVinci Kahlua syrup. One of my favorites is to freeze a banana, and mix with vanilla protein powder and milk plus a Tbl. of SF DaVinci (or Tourani) caramel syrup. I use enough ice so that I have to eat the stuff with a spoon. I'm getting protein, dairy and something that satisfies my need for a creamy, sweet texture. I used to get Skinny Cows, but had trouble stopping at just one.
