Protein drinks...freezable?



Recommended Posts

Hey there...whether it be pre op, post op healing or just making Protein requirements...there's a pattern of growing to hate Protein shakes i keep reading about and am planning for....

Wondering if they are freezable and if anyone has tried doing that and eating them like Italian ice?

thx

Someone suggested that the chocolate premiere Protein Rtd shakes tasted like frostys when frozen.. Not. It was not good at all.

Of course I've tried it. :) The blended Protein shake separates when freezing. I still enjoy the difference of the frozen idea. When the Protein Shake consumption starts to get "old", freezer adds variety .

Try it. Whatcha got to lose?

If you ran a Protein drink through and ice cream maker it might work

Ice cream had the consistency that it does and is scoop able because the ice crystals form slowly as its churned thus incorporating air and giving you the desired consistency.

If you just toss it in the freezer you will just get a frozen block of ice.

Yes, I have watched entirely too many episodes of Good Eats with Alton Brown

I make Protein ice cream about twice a week. It's my favorite evening treat :) i put whatever protein shake i like at the time in the blender on high till it doubles, turn on the ice cream maker then slowly pour the shake mix in - i have protein ice cream in about 16 minutes for soft serve. I put it in the freezer for an hour or so for scoopable.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
