Has anyone ever mixed protein powder with seltzer?

I was starving and thirsty after the gym and was craving a smoothie, so I went home, put two cups of mixed frozen fruit in the blender (VERY freezer burned, so there was a bunch of ice in there too), added a scoop of protein powder (Quest) and I didn't want to spend calories on milk and only had cold Seltzer so I dumped some of that for the liquid.

I ended up with a huge amount of very sorbet-like texture. I don't remember ever getting that with water. Couldn't even finish it and ended up putting almost half of it in the freezer for next time (I wonder how it will freeze. Hmm).

Just curious if anyone's done that before and what your experience was? That was so filling for 150 calories (for half of it), I will definitely keep that in mind!

You are a mad scientist!

No I haven't, but this basically sounds like you inadvertently made a minor protein fluff. I use diet sodas as the base for mine.
