I am getting a lot of air in my protein shakes. Help!

[TXNurse77 0]

I'm using a magic bullet and have noticed I'm getting about 2" of air floating above the shake. I used 1 scoop of Jay Robb, 1/2 cup canned sliced peaches, 1 cup 1% milk, and 4 ice cubes. I have to keep the bullet pulsating for 20-30 seconds minimum to puree the peaches since I'm only 8 days post-op.

What am I doing wrong or is there a fix to this besides putting it in the fridge and waiting for the air to dissipate?

It's pretty normal when you blend the shake. Try stirring it with a spoon in the bullet to break up the air bubbles.

I did that and within a minute the bubbles came back.

Any time you use a blender product you'll get a lot of air in your shake. There's no way around it. However, you can make a couple of changes with how you blend your shake - and what you're using in it. To reduce the air, blend the peaches and ice first and blend well, then add the Protein powder and milk and blend for 5-10 seconds.

The ingredients you're using in your shake are also much higher in calories than is necessary.

With two small changes you can decrease the calories of your shake by 33% and increase the percentage of Protein in that meal by 20%.

YOUR SHAKE NOW

110 calories - 1 scoop of Jay Robb (25 g protein)

100 calories - 1/2 c canned sliced peaches (0.6 g protein)

102 calories - 1 cup 1% milk (8 g protein)

---------------------------------------

312 calories - that's 26% of your daily intake (33.6 g protein - 43% protein). Fine for now, but may derail you later.

Hi! I have the same problem. I find if I blend the fruit and ice first, the air bubbles are usually less because I don't have to blend the milk as long. Usually 5-10 seconds works.
