which milk do you use for shakes/smoothies

Madaly320

I love my Syntrax Nectar protein powders but so far I only like it in 1% milk. I want to cut calories though. I tried it with water and gagged while drinking it. I need it to be thicker and with that milky texture. I could just suck up the calories and use the milk. I was looking at ALmond milk but it still has a lot of calories but without the protein, and I think I tried Soy milk before, I dont think I liked it but that was when I just drank it plain.

What does everyone do?

I use water but I also have been putting frozen fruit in mine which gives it a good milkshake texture. I use body fortress chocolate whey protein.

I use unsweetened almond/coconut - 45 cals for 8 oz and so tasty, especially with a small amount of agave nectar or sweetener

No dairy for me: I'll use either water or almond milk.

I also use Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk. 2/3 cup is 26 calories. Then I throw in a few ice cubes too.

Trader Joe's Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk.. Tastes better than the other unsweetened vanilla almond milks out there.

Silk unsweetened almond milk in vanilla. Only 30 cals and it gives a creamy consistency

Farmland Dairy makes a great milk called "Skim Plus"...I discovered it when I started drinking skim, but could not stand to put it in my coffee. The texture is rich and the taste is unbelievable! Now, I use it in everything.
Good luck!

When I want to pump up my calories I'll use Silk Lite Soymilk Orginal, only 60 calories per 8 oz. glass. Otherwise I'll mix my protein powder with water, golden flax seed & PB2.....it's so tasty, I love it!!! :happy:

If you're concerned about the calories but like a little flavour in there, go for unsweetened almond milk and add a dash of vanilla. Then you get the benefits of yummy almond vanilla milk, but none of the sugar

I mix my protein with Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry juice and I add fresh or frozen strawberries. I don't like water or milk in my smoothies.

Almond Breeze, Unsweetened. I like the plain.. I tried the coconut and vanilla and they are both too strongly flavored for me.

Normally I use water and just choke it down but I always buy almond milk unsweetened for my spinach shakes. So I am going to start using them in my plain protein shakes as well

Coconut milk.

Same here. I freeze it in ice cube trays & it helps make the protein shakes taste great & they are thicker, too. Very healthy too.

I haven't had cow's milk in probably 15 years or more and don't eat any soy products at all.

I usually just use filtered water but I splurge with Organic Coconut Milk or Organic Fat-Free Milk.
I use frozen fruit and whey protein power.
Oh, don't forget the unsweetened Cocoa powder!

Lately I've been using kefir instead of milk, which gives the shake a nice, thick, creamy texture with a bit of a tang. It's delicious, and provides an extra protein boost, as well. It's about 140 calories a cup, but totally worth it. Comes in many delicious flavors, too.

This. But I have been told that coconut almond milk is amazing in tropical smoothies

SideSteel

First try mixing it with half milk and half water and see if its tolerable.

The water in the tap. No calories, fats, proteins or carbs therefore added.

Lexandrea

Almond milk or rarely soy

barrattandrew

I use skimmed milk - and have started using skimmed milk and half water for double portions. Although the strawberry whey I get is pretty good and doesn't taste too bad with with water.

I'm going to give this a try!
