what do you use to make protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

I sorta think blenders are a pain to clean properly... but I like their ice crushing ability.

What do you think is the most convenient, easy to clean, handiest way of mixing Protein?

I never really liked using a shaker since not all mix that well (although it has been years since I tried this).

I use a plastic shaker that I got from GNC. It has a metal wire ball inside that helps shake up the liquid and the powder. It works really well. Sometimes when I want to add crushed ice I will use my blender, but otherwise it is the plastic shaker, and it rinses out really easily, which is important, 'cause I am on 4 shakes a day!!!!

I really like my blender because I use a lot of crushed ice in my shakes. It also works well for adding hot broth to the Protein powder i've dissolved in some cool Water - no lumps. Easy to clean; when i empty the shake I rinse the blender and then add Water and a few drops of dish soap and blend, rinse and dry.

If you're in the market for a personal/travel sized blender, check out the Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender. They have them in most Wal-Mart's right now for the college crowd for only $12. Amazing reviews and they are easy to clean. Also double as a travel cup.

I use pre mixed shakes for the most part. Premier protien shakes from costco. When did make them at home I used the Bullet. very easy to clean compared to a blender and takes up much less space and I can drink from the same cup I mix in! Crushes ice and frozen fruit with ease!

I just bought this one, I haven't used it yet but my stepson has made a couple smoothies and it blends REALLY well.

I have a Kitchen Aid mini food processor that my wife picked up at Target for $40. It is super easy to clean, it chops up the ice and really makes my Protein Shake taste like a milk shake. Only problem was that it only came in red at our Target so my wife decided to paint our kitchen (it has been decorated with John Deere and painted bright green and yellow for years!) to better coordinate with the food processor!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
