EDIT: Contest deadline has been extended to JULY 6!!!
Frozen, Shaken, Stirred? Tap into your POW(D)ER!
I am so excited right now, and not just because I have an amazing weekend ahead of me.
One of you just may have an iPad in their future! And me too!
And not that I’m not super happy about you…but I’m infinitely happier about myself.
Propel is looking for the best powder recipe for their amazing powder product – what’s your favorite way of enjoying it? Do you have it in a morning protein shake or an after-work cocktail? Frozen, Shaken, Stirred? Tap into your POW(D)ER and give us your best ideas!
Propel powder packets let you create a cocktail of Propel fitness water to take with you whenever you’re on the go. Each serving provides B vitamins (B6, B12, Niacin and Pantothenic Acid) to aid in energy metabolism as part of a daily diet, as well as antioxidant vitamins C and E. As we are all trying to get healthy and fit for summer (my iPad and I are going to South Beach in 5 weeks!!!), this is a great idea!!!
The person who submits the winning idea will receive 12 boxes of Propel Packets with Calcium and an Apple iPad. YES an APPLE IPAD.
Be creative – if you feel like you want to send in videos or images you can – but what I need are your recipes. And I need them by July 6.
So leave your recipe in your comment below. And feel free to pass on the word to your friends and foes – maybe they’ll SHARE with you if they win. Or not. Who cares – they deserve to know! If you want to make me very happy – and you do – RT this contest. I’m on Twitter at @alywalansky.
Disclaimer: If you want to check out the nitty gritty, be sure to check out the rules page here.
I use this recipe with a lot of powdered products (Crystal Lite, for example) because it’s fun, it’s easy and it’s NOT FATTENING!
Step One: Mix powder with half the amount of water you’d normally use
Step Two: Mix in a shot or two of any – and I mean ANY – of your favorite flavored vodka or plain ol’ tequila
Step Three: Stir.
Step Four: Make sure you add some ice into the glass
Step Five: Enjoy.

you can make this fun by adding some mint to it-
also freezing it to the point of a slush
You can add the mix to one cup of yogurt, add some strawberries, and a banana and some ice (1 cup) and a quick smoothie once its blended-
you can also take this and mix the pack with half the liquid (use soda water for zip) and add some rum, or tequila- for some summer zip add a zip of pineapple
My favorite way of getting powder in my diet is by adding it to Jell-O. It adds a lot of flavor while remaining subtle… good stuff for sure!
I make smoothies.
1 6 oz. yogurt (whatever flavor) I keep some in the freezer just to use for smoothies
1/2 cup frozen fruit (you can buy bagged, or freeze your own fresh fruit.) I have a large ziploc bag in the freezer where I’ll put in too-ripe bananas (peeled and cut into chunks), strawberries, etc. I grab a handful whenever I need some.
1/2 the amount of liquid called for. I like to use Orange or Pineapple juice instead of water but you can use any liquid
protein powder
handful of ice (optional – if you use frozen yogurt and fruit, you won’t need it)
Blend, and drink. Adjust the liquid and/or ice to suit your taste.
If I have fresh lemons or limes around, I’ll throw in a little zest for a great citrus note. I also use fresh mint in mine, but I have a huge pot of mint on my deck so it’s readily available to me. I’ll add a scoop of fresh fruit sorbet if I have some available. I’ll make it with milk and add some instant coffee, vanilla yogurt and frozen bananas and make an AWESOME chocolate coffee smoothie
add skim milk, sweetener, cut up bannanas and(or)strawberries,low fat granola and frozen yogurt.mix and eat with spoon add or take away skim milk for desired thickness
Smoothie with a Punch
Blend 1 cup of ice cubes, 1/ cup of sliced strawberries, 1/ of pitted cherries, 1/ lowfat greek yogurt, tbsp of ground flaxseed, 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, blend in powder of desired flavor and you have a nutritious smoothie that will propel you through your day.
Fruit Shake
1 banana
1 cup of strawberries (or any other fresh or frozen fruit)
1 tsp vanilla
2 T plain yogurt (might need a little more – experiment)
Propel powder: sprinkle in a packet (or half a packet)
Place all ingredient in a blender and blend well.
This is a great Breakfast or Lunch “on the run” (or anytime really)!
It tastes just like an ice cream shake and it is just as filling, but with less calories!
If you don’t have time for chilling, blend in a few ice cubes or crushed ice! Serves 1.
one banana, one cup strawberries, two cups chopped honeydew melon, one small container of greek yogurt, one packet of cherry lime propel w/calcium. zip it through a blender. add a little skim milk if you need too. share it with your mom cause she needs the calcium too.
I would use greek plain yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, one packet of propel powder, a sqirt of honey, blend togeter and enjoy.
add 1 banana & mix with packet & 1/2 amount of water. Put in blender with ice. Makes a great siushie.
1/2 cup orange juice
4 large strawberries
handful of blueberries
1 small banana
about 3oz. mango
Propel powder flavor of choice (I like to add Raspberry, my husband adds Grape)
Water, or ice to achieve desired consistency–I like mine like a slushie
note: my husband uses this recipe after he works out, and adds one scoop of whey protein to it–I leave that out.
Mix 1 propel packett with 2 Stevia or truvia packetsand set aside. Then make a propel juice burst. I make ice cube of coconut water. Like Propel coconut water is a great energy drink. I prefer using them instead of water in my smoothies as they are fairly low in calories and don’t dilute the drink. Into the blender I put the coconut water ice cubes, watermelon chunks, orange slices peeled and supremed, a packet of propel in any citrus flavor and a few teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon. Blend the whole thing together. I never make more than 2 glass at a time so i use the following amounts;
1 1/2 cups of watermelon
8-10 ice cubes
2 medium sized oranges
half a medium lemon
1 1/2 packets of propel (this excludes the packet used for rimming)
Rim the glass with the propel/stevia mix. Optional garnish: fruit wedges or spring of mint.
I usually have this with lunch or dinner. It’s refreshing and looks really pretty. Other variation would be omit the glass rimming and have as a breakfast smoothie. It’s light and refreshing and a nice alternative to orange juice.
For an awesome smoothie add one packet to half a cup of skim milk, a frozen banana, and 8 frozen strawberries.
add 1 banana & mix with packet & 1/2 amount of water. Put in blender with ice. Makes a great siushie.
I’d make papaya and milk and vanilla ice cream mixed them all up. It tastes good. I made it my own.
My all-time favorite drink is take a packet of Propel (any flavor) and add it to a 12 oz. can of diet 7up. Stir, do not shake!!!! It’s Yummy, be sure to try it!
Thank you for this opportunity!

Would it totally defeat the purpose to add the lemon Propel powder to 2 parts gin and one part tonic? I think it would add a healthy zest to a G&T
Leaping Lemons
1 small lime juiced
1 small lemon juiced
1 propel lemon packet
2 cups spring water
My recipe is quite simple: I mix it with water and Lemmon and shake, shake, shake…doing a dance like the YouTube Brazilian Dancing Baby!

How about Propeling your deserts to a new level? For instance take the recipe for COOL ‘N EASY Strawberry Pie from the Kraft recipe website, and add a packett of Propel POW(D)ER of your choice (obvius choice wouold be Kiwi Strawberry, but hey what ever you like) to add some zing and goodness!
2 cups fresh strawberries, divided 2/3 cup boiling water 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin ice cubes 1/2 cup cold water 1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping, thawed 1 ready-to-use reduced-fat graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz.) 1 packet of Propel POW(D)ER
Make It!
SLICE 1 cup strawberries; refrigerate for later use. Chop remaining berries; set side. Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add the packet of Propel POW(D)ER and stir in until dissolved. If necessary you may have to tweek the amount of water you are boiling.
Add enough ice to cold water to make 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice.
WHISK in COOL WHIP. Stir in chopped berries. Refrigerate 20 to 30 min. or until mixture is very thick and will mound. Spoon into crust.
REFRIGERATE 6 hours or until firm. Top with sliced berries
Hello!
Ok, here’s the deal, this recipe is good alcohol free ( that’s how I drink it, 2 years SOBER! but my wife likes it with)
***Sorpel***
Pick a propel… Caribbean and tropical flavors work best.
Mix your propel in 1 cup water
Use either sparkling white grape juice, champagne or sparkling white wine and mix in with your propel solution.
Add 2 shots simple syrup (sugar water)
Next you will blend watermelon ( remove seeds please
, or honeydew in a blender, while adding a few raspberries.
( the reason I don’t say ” Use whatever berries you want is because raspberries have that tart tang, I suppose pomegranate wouldn’t be a bad antioxidant either)
Get the melon/berry mix smooth in consistency ( I hope you removed the seeds ya’ll!) add in your champagne/propel mix. ( no ice )
Now take this mixture (try not to drink all of it 1st) and set it in the fridge to make sure it is relatively cool. I’m saying maybe 30minutes, if patience allows… nothing is vital… it’s your SORPEL!
Get your ice cream maker bowl out of the freezer, if you don’t keep yours in the freezer or you have the type that plugs in and cools then keep your mixture in the fridge while you await your ice cream maker’s SUPER COLDNESS.
Ok so, everything is cold and ready so you will pour the mixture in while the ice cream maker is running. Don’t pour it in and then turn it on, it wont be as good. Turn it on, then slowly pour in your Melon mix and you will see your mixture solidify/thicken immediately.
Let the machine do it’s thing, or if your churning by hand, until you have yourself what would be sorbet… if it wasn’t SORPEL!!! Your summertime delicious treat.
Ok, so… there is much more to it. Popsicle trey or tall shot glasses? pour some in, throw in a stick, these Popsicle are greeeeeat!
Or… freeze them into ice cubes and put them into a rocks glass for cocktails. Or put them in another fine propel recipe you find on this page.
Additionally, feel free to make a SORPEL stand at the end of your drive way ( or walk onto your neighbors front porch) and make new friends to have fun with this summer.
**** Sorpel is the name my wife and I gave it… call it what you wish, but call is delicious. Thanks for reading .
Oh boy! I! Hope! you! think! it’s! iPad! Worthy!
Oh goodness, I meant to say, grape juice, champagne, sparkling white wine are not a measured amount, this is a discretionary ingredient, I suppose it depends on how much fun your audience wants to have or how old your audience is…
ENJOY!!
Make a crockpot of homemade applesauce.
5 Gala & 5 Golden Delicious peeled, cored, and sliced up evenly
1/2 cup sugar
1 t. cinnamon
add a little water on the bottom of the crockpot
cook on low for about 8 hours, stirring every once in awhile.
I like mine served warm with a packet of Lemon Propel mixed in and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Yummmm..
For the blender:
1 Propel packet of your choice (but the citrus in the lemon will bring out the nuttiness in the milk)
2 large ripe bananas, sliced thinly
2 cups almond milk
2 cups ice cubes
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blend all ingredients in blender – enjoy. If you enjoy the taste, sprinkle some nutmeg on top as well. Simple and easy – and healthy, just like Propel!
I love to use blueberries, bandannas, yogurt and honey.
Morning Kick
Restores your vitamins and electrolytes to get you up and running without caffeine.
Place one slice of lemon in the bottom of a coffee mug.
Pour 2 oz boiling water over lemon slice.
Add one packet of Propel (I recommend Berry or Raspberry Lemonade as offering a good contrast to the lemon).
Let Propel dissolve, adding more hot water as necessary.
Top off the coffee mug with room temperature water (filtered or bottled).
I have a few ways that I use the propel powder packets. Very simple & quick.
I use the propel powder packets mixed with water & freeze them into ice cubes. I then use the propel flovered ice cubes in plain water, lemonade and ice teas. These ice cubes add great flavor to my drinks. I also freeze them into ice pops. Another way I use the propel packets is I also add into a jello mix & when done top with whipped cream. So yummy!!
I use Propel in my Camel Back pack. It holds 2 liters of Propel while I am on the water fishing in my pontoon boat. Nothing beats biting down on my straw and having Propel hit my lips and tongue on a HOT day.
I do not vary from the instructions on the packet, they are GREAT. I make it the night before, put it on the highest shelf in the fridge so its COLD by morning and then pour into my Camel Back pouch. 2 liters of Propel keeps me going all day, from 5am when I hit the water until 9pm when the sun goes down on the lake.
Vanilla yogurt, strawberries, pine apple and a bit of Propel powder, blend well. For a more “adult” drink toss in a shot of coconut rum. Delicious.
Skipping breakfast does not lead to weight loss, which often leads to the opposite. Your weight, if you skip breakfast, because you tend to eat more calories during the day.
You want breakfast to start your metabolism, so you energy. A car does not run empty and your body. Filling the car with petrol, and just watch. It’s the same with your body to feed a healthy breakfast.
I love to mix it in cold chocolate pudding!
I make smoothies.
1 6 oz. yogurt (whatever flavor) I keep some in the freezer just to use for smoothies
1/2 cup frozen fruit (you can buy bagged, or freeze your own fresh fruit.) I have a large ziploc bag in the freezer where I’ll put in too-ripe bananas (peeled and cut into chunks), strawberries, etc. I grab a handful whenever I need some.
1/2 the amount of liquid called for. I like to use Orange or Pineapple juice instead of water but you can use any liquid
protein powder
handful of ice (optional – if you use frozen yogurt and fruit, you won’t need it)
Blend, and drink. Adjust the liquid and/or ice to suit your taste.
Hey Aly, this is a follow-up on my previous post. After thinking about it, I really don’t have awesome recipes as the ones list above (I’ll try some of the ones listed on the page,) just good uses for it to keep me energized, focused, and quite the social butterfly.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a PR Diva and Speech Coach who’s always on the go! So, when I need five good minutes to replenish myself and stay at 100%, I reach for Propel.
. Yep, they’re opened 24/7!
Don’t laugh, but I like my Propel’s shaken and topped off with crushed ice from QuickTrip
Here are my favorites:
“Staying Power” (Black Cherry Propel)
Whether it’s the next client meeting, or class, this keeps me focused and not sluggish.
“Lady C” (with Kiwi and strawberry Propel)
I like to add 1/2 cup of orange juice, or 1/2 a can of sprite or 7up with Kiwi and Strawberry Propel. This keeps my voice refreshed and also helps me energized when I have flu symptons.
Sexy in and out (with Peach Propel with fiber)
Need I say more…easy way to stay healthy and hydrated!

I created a fabulous, refreshing, and healthy snack out of Propel powder packs! I’m on a quest to lose weight, and Propel helps me achieve that goal by being a delicious and low-cal way to hydrate and get in lots of calcium and other essential nutrients! With no further ado, I present to you…

I use propel powder packets while baking! I know it sounds crazy but it adds a great “what is this flavor” to my cupcakes!!! I bake boxed cake or homemade vanilla cupcakes and add 4 powder packets (all the same flavor). It is absolutely delish!!! Everyone has complimented me on these. I have also added it to my frosting as well. You dont need as many packets. 1-2 for the frosting. Seriously they are to die for!!!

Add favorite liquor to mix and blend a little more.
Then enjoy on a hot summer day!!
I use propel in the morning and at night so that i have a refreshing start to my day, and a calm, cool and collected finish. But how do i do all this?! simple propel virgin margaritas. they taste decadent and give an awesome vibe to my whole body systems.
When my son asks for a snow cone I take out my snow cone maker. Instead of using that snow cone syrup that is loaded with with lots of sugar, I use one of the lemonade or cherry lime Propel packets. I just mix it up and yummy. He loves the snow cones and I have had to make lots of them for his friends too.

Looks like a lot of people have the same idea of a smoothie! I like to put in vanilla yogurt, a handful of frozen berries, some honey if I’m feeling super sweet and any of the fruity propel with calcium packets. I feel I’m getting an added boost first thing in the morning and it tastes great!
Thanks for this amazing opportunity
6 oz Greek Yogurt

Blend ingredients to create a healthy and yummy smoothie! If you like your smoothies thicker add a few ice cubes! If you like it thinner, add some more juice.

As it gets hotter out, a great way to appreciate the lemon flavor of propel is as a lemony sorbet!
Triple-Lemon Propel Sorbet
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (around 3 lemons)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 packet lemonade propel
You’ll want to take a small saucepan on medium high heat, to create a simple syrup out of the sugar and water. Once the sugar is all dissolved, remove from heat and let cool. Mix in the lemon juice, propel, and zest.
Next, allow the mixture to chill, either in the refrigerator, or by placing in a metal bowl over ice. Once chilled, freeze in your ice cream maker. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour into a pan and freeze until semi-solid. Then take a fork and fluff it up, returning it the the freezer to freeze firm. If you toss it in the blender for a bit after, it’ll smooth up as much as you like.

Yummy, no?
We pack a lunch every day for my husband to take to work. He works outside quite a bit, so we were spending a fortune on energy drinks. Now he takes a box of Propel Powder and adds it to bottled water, shakes it, and voila…we save a fortune, and he’s quenched so that he can keep on working.
I add water to the packet and freeze them in ice cube trays. Afte they are frozen I add frozen yogure protein powder bananas and blueberries and strawberries. I call this my antioxidant kick. delicious smoothies!
My fiance and I are big on vitamins and vitamin drinks so we started using these packets! We’re also trying to get fit for the summer (and wanting an Apple iPad). First off, I must say this: If I could bake cookies and brownies with the Propel powder, I would. We usually take the lazy/busy route and add water, but we’d like to try making milkshakes (in our house they’re called Shake-A-Milks…for some unknown reason) with bananas, strawberries, and a bit of cream! Mmmm…

I like mixing my propel with water and then putting it in the freezer. I shake it up every half hour until it is slush. It is awesome on the go and in hot weather.
Mix a packet of citrus punch with a can of diet 7UP. Top with a tablespoon of oranage sherbert and a marachino cherry. Yum!
I use propel in the Orange Julius that I make. It gives the Orange Julius a slight tangy flavor that makes it absolutely addicting. Plus, it makes the orange julius healthier and I can feel better about giving it to my kids.
Recipe:
1 package propel (each flavor gives it a certain taste, but my favorite is lemon)
1 cup milk,
1 cup of water,
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate,
1/3 cup sugar,
1 teaspoon vanilla.
Blend all ingredients in a blender and add and blend ice until it reaches the desired consistency. I like adding a lot of ice (about 12-15 cubes) so that I have a thick slushy orange julius.
Try it, it’s delicious.
Mix a pack of lemon propel with 3/4s the water as directed on the package. Place in freezer til slushy. Place 1 1/2 cup of ice in a blender. add the Propel Mixture with 1 shot Lemonecello and 1 shot Citrus Vodka. Mix until Ice is crushed. Add to a sugared rimmed glass. So yummy on a hot summer’s day
Okay, so this may be really simple but this is the best way we’ve used powdered Propel in our home. Over cereal. Yup! Propel acts as our sweetner.
We always try and cut the sugar and up the health aspects by buying cherios, rice krispies, kix, shreaded wheat…you name it. BUT I find we still either don’t enjoy it or need to put additional sugar on top to appease our, and our Toddler’s tastebuds.
So…instead of using sugar, we find that using Propel drink mix sprinkled over top gives it just the edge that we want. For instance our daughter loves Cherios with Grape sprinkled over top and I like Shreaded Wheat with the Berry. The greatest part too, besides being healthier, is that we can change it up from day to day now. Its wonderful!

Attention Please:
Step right up for a chance to have a taste of the one and only Propelicious Thai Iced Tea.
Here is my recipe:
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Thai tea leaves, 1 2/3 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 cup evaporated milk (12oz can), one packet of Propel powder, a big pot for boiling water, a big fine strainer or seive, a heat-resistant pitcher, a stirring implement (long spoon, piece of rebar, etc.).
Procedure:
Bring your water to a boil in a pot with some head space. You’ll need room for the tea leaves, you’ll be using a lot. When the water begins to boil, remove the pot from the heat to stop the boiling, and then add the tea leaves to the pot, stirring to moisten them. Don’t try to use a tea bag, or tea ball, or anything, we are using a LOT of tea, and we need it to steep fully.
Don’t boil the tea! It will be bitter! Just let it sit in the hot water.
Set your timer for 4 minutes, and wait.
When your timer goes off, carefully strain the tea into your heat resistant pitcher through a sieve or tea sock. I’ve got a round seive that nestles well in the opening of my pitcher. I pour slowly, letting the sieve catch most of the tea leaves. As the sieve clogs up, I stop pouring, let the sieve drip for a minute, and then knock the tea leaves out of it into the compost.
When the tea is in the pitcher, add your sweetener, and stir to dissolve. You have to add the sweetener when the tea is hot, otherwise you’ll never get it to dissolve fully.
Put the tea in the fridge for a few hours to cool it down. If you must have tea soon, you can use the ice to help cool it down, but it won’t be as strong. This sweetened tea will save for a week or more in the fridge. I make big batches, and just save the full pitcher in the fridge for serving on demand.
To serve the tea, fill a tall glass with ice, and pour the tea over the ice, leaving about 1/4 of the glass empty at the top. Open a can of evaporated whole milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk), and top the glass off with it. Pour slowly, so that the layers stay distinct. Serve with a straw or long spoon for mixing!
Some people like more milk than others, so you’ll have to experiment a bit. Likewise, some people like to drink their tea with the layers intact, and others like to mix it up right away. Thats the fun of the drink! If you serve it with layers intact, then each person decides what they want to do. Personally, I mix it very gently, so that it still has some swirls of milkier and less milky tea, but isn’t completely layered.
Perfect for a hot summer day.

Who won?
You can choose between cold air and water cooled ice machine. The first uses a cooling system to conserve water. Water-cooled units are more expensive, though they consume less energy.
Ice can accumulate in the engine and cause obstruction. For optimum performance, you should regularly clean your ice maker. To clean the defrost is necessary. You can delete a storage tray and wash with soap and warm water.
