Hi,

I tried Protein powder with orange juice -- it is soooo yummy. Almost like a milk shake but not quite - coz the powder is not mixing well with my orange juice even after I mixed it in a blender for about 30 seconds.

I use Optifast (a Nestle product) coz thats what my doc prescribed. As I have said before, I'm from India and dont know much abt the other products. I'll be asking about other brands available here to my doc when I visit him two weeks later. But I was just wondering if I need to add something else to the mix to make sure the powder is not 'lumpy' (for the lack of a good word - coz its not really lumpy - it is just sort of grainy). Any thoughts?

You can use the blender more time? or add some ice I will add 3-4 ice cubes,that might help,but there is always going to be some powder in there. You will get use to it

Thanks to this post, I added some protein powder to my decaf coffee this morning! Great protein boost to my day and I can't even taste the powder! Thanks for the inspiration!!

LOL Glad to help! And thanks for sharing - I'll try the Protein Powder with coffee too

Thanks, Liliana! The 'grainy' stuff is not much of a problem. I just thought a smooth mix will make me look forward to the Protein mix that much more.. But I have to say - mixing it with Orange juice is soooo much better than mixing it with milk/water!!

I purchased a blender called "Magic Bullet" you can order it on-line. It makes all my shakes really nicely, including those to which I add a little fruit or ice -- or both! You can drink it right out of the jar it's mixed in and it has a lid so if you don't finish the entire shake, it's easy to store. Glad the orange juice worked out. Forensikchick had suggested it to me when I just could not get another milk/water shake down. It's made a huge difference. I have tried the coffee too and I use a vanilla flavor for that one.

Thank you, mnbsleeve! I'll check out the blender online.. May I ask what fruits you used and if one was better tasting than the other with the protein powder?
