Protein drinks...freezable?

[Muted_Tummy 29]

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

I haven't tried it but don't know why not. Give it a try. The Syntrax Nectars would probably make pretty good slushies.

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?

I have heard of people pouring them in popsicle molds and freezing them

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.

"the world according to eggface" has several Protein ice cream recipes that follow the same method MxKitty just described. and "the bariatric foodie" has a couple of protein popsicle ideas
