8oz. Water
1/2 Frozen Banana
2 scoops Muscle Milk Light Vanilla Creme Flavor protein powder
1 6oz tub of Lite Yogurt, any flavor (sub 100 cals)
6-8 Frozen Blueberries
Blend. Drink. Smile.
The whole thing is around 300 cals, 20+g protein and <20g carbs depending on the yogurt you use.
Sounds great! I need to buy a blender and make this a routine thing.
I would be tempted to replace the water with skim milk or soy milk for those that don’t like lactose.
Plus, I would probably double the recipe since I am a calorie hound.
Post workout you want carbs to protein in roughly a 4:1 ratio, so your higher-protein/lower carb is far from the BEST post workout shake you could get.
I’m a fan of:
1 ripe banana
~8 oz choc almond milk
couple of ice cubes
handful of blueberries ( or blackberries, or strawberries, or … )
1 scoop protein powder
1 big spoonful of peanutbutter (trader joes crunchy, w/ flax seed)
Damn it’s good. 
Peanut Butter Cup:
8 oz water
Ice
Chocolate flavored protein
1 banana
Peanut butter to your liking
8 oz coffee
Ice
Chocolate flavored protein
1 banana
Honey to your liking

x2. Double the calories and it might be a decent MRP, but your best bet for a recovery drink post workout is plain old chocolate milk.

I just drink chocolate milk. As easy as it gets. Am I shortchanging myself for this easy approach?

Nope, nothing wrong with good old choc milk. Sometimes after a workout I will do Slimfast instead, but like TC said above to the original poster, you want 4:1 carbs:protein so their shake is not really ideal.
1 cup skim milk
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup strong black coffee
Ice
Blend
