How Do You Make Protein Drinks Thick/thicker Or Like A Malt



Recommended Posts

Hello All! I was wondering, how do you make a Protein Drink thick/or thicker? Like a malt consistency? I gotta make these drinks tasty some how. When I put it in the blender or the magic bullet with milk or Water or juice with ice, the top half always comes out FOAMY, YUKKKKKK :-/ !!!!!!

Thank You in advance. I appreciate any info or help.

maybe add some greek yogurt to the blender? (like an ice cream replacement if you were making a milkshake)?

I have not figured this out either. The ones I make in the blender are foamy which i hate. I know mix unflavored in a shaker cup with orange juice and shake it up really good and drink it with a straw so I dont get the foam. It works for me. Unjury separates out and you just get the juice from the bottom and I stop before I get the foam but Jarrow brand unflavored stays in solution, doesnt separate and is not really foamy at all. I like it the best. It took me months to find this combo that worked for me. I am a OJ lover though and it doesnt change the taste of it at all!

It's always foamy in the blender for me too and I hate the foam. I make the drink in the blender without the Protein powder, then mix the Protein Powder in at the end. I mix the Protein Powder with a little of the liquid (milk, soy milk, coffee) first so it blends in better.

Put ice in a blender, then your liquids & Protein powder... Nice & thick like a Wendy's Frosty only better for you! Also try adding sugar free pudding mix (only a little) it will give you more flavor.

No fail method....add a piece of banana. Be careful not to put in too much ice -3 cubes should do it. Blend til thick.

I couldn't deal with the foam, so I stick with the ready to drink shakes. Way better!

I noticed that too and set it in the fridge for 1/2 hour then just shake it up. But that is if you have time. I also add some ice too before you blend. it helps.

I put 1/3 of a bananna in. I know I'm not sposto have anything but the drinks, but the plain drinks were unpalatable.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
