- A while back we ran an article called Shake It Up! featuring some of our favorite protein shake recipes. After that, T-mag readers began sending us their Grow! recipes, most of them pretty damn good. You guys had some creative ideas, so we decided to hold a little recipe contest on the T-Forum.
- We chose the mocha frappacino recipe below as the winner, mainly because we couldn't resist the idea of caffeine and protein all in one handy breakfast shake! Here's the winning recipe below plus eleven more of your submissions. Try a few of these out the next time you get a hankerin' for something a little different!
