the health benefits of berries by far out weigh the negative affect of sugar in the fruits.
My favorite protein shake is:
1 heaping scoop of Jay Robb vanilla whey protein powder http://jayrobb.com/cat_proteinWheyVan12.asp
Half a serving of Sambazon acai http://www.sambazon.com/nutrition/frozenPure.jpg
2 or 3 cups of frozen berries (no sugar added) - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, in whatever ratio i feel like
1 T of Udo's DHA blend http://www.udoerasmus.com/products/oil_blend_DHA_en.htm
6 oz water
And then i blend away until it is the consistency of a smooth, thick milkshake. I'm not sure how healthy it is (worry about the natural sugars in the berries), but it has a lot of protein and tastes so good i feel guilty eating it.

I've always tried to keep it simple.
One banana, two scoops of GNC vanilla whey protein which provides roughly 45-50 grams of fast acting protein, a scoop of glutamine powder (7-10 grams) because it is rapidly lost during training and quickly absorbed into hungry muscles.
I take my creatine separately as soon as the workout is finished. Sometimes i will go ahead and mix it with the protein shake.
