Proteing shake Issues!



Recommended Posts

i have issues with getting the right consistancy in my Protein Shakes. When I use Unjury and try and add yogurt or frozen fruit...my shake ends up entirely too thick.

I also bought the BSN Lean Desert Protein Powder--Chocolate Coconut and It is so thick i can hardly drink it... i mix it with soy milk in the blender on the liquid option and it gets so thick and bubbly I can't even drink it... people talk about adding yogurt and fruit to their shakes...but it has never worked for me. What am I doing wrong!?

I have been skipping the yogurt for mine and they don't get as thick. I have Unjury choc splendor and mix that with 8oz of skim milk. It bubbles up but it will settle after a few minutes. In the cafeteria where I work they will make smoothies for you and they will put my Protein into them so I use the BA vanilla protein with 8oz of milk, some banana and blueberries, it gets thicker than the unjury but not too too bad.

I make the BSN with Water. It's not thick at all. I have a little mini blender that only does up to 12 oz so maybe it doesn't whip it as hard to make so many bubbles. It was cheap at Walmart.< /p>

I make all my Protein drinks with Water.< /p>

I don't use yogurt, but at times I add ice, and I mix all my shakes with skim milk

not a fan of all the air and froth, so i just use a strainer to strain my drinks. the air bubbles will get caught in the strainer or will just go away/liquify. you can also try letting your shakes sit in the fridge to settle. but because i'm always on the run i use a strainer

Try making it ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour blenders add a lot of air in the shake which really irritated my sleeve early on. I used Unjury and skin milk.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
