Protein Shake Tip!

Hmm .. interesting. Might give it a try, I drink mine with water as well because it gets all nastily clumpy in milk. Thanks for the tip

Mine does to, so now I put it in the blender and it works well!

I have to share the most amazing invention ever Its so freaking simple, and works so perfectly!

I just bought a few of these from my gym...



The little ball is designed like a whisk... and it shakes around in the bottle to blend everything. I never have clumps!

One of my coworkers has one and she said its great. I think they sell them at CVS too.

Nice idea about adding the sf mix. I may try that tomorrow.

I just started doing protein shakes...But it seems like everyday that I have one I'm over in my daily protein intake do you know how much is too much per day?

I don't know if it works the same with protein shakes, but sometimes I add some fat free/sugar free instant pudding mix to my Shakeology for some flavor. I use the chocolate Shakeology, and I love it mixed with some butterscotch flavor. I guess it would work the same with chocolate protein powder, too. Or maybe some mint choco chip mix with vanilla protein powder. Mmmm...ideas...

As far as I know, you're supposed to eat about your body weight (kilos) in grams of protein per day.

Since I began using shakes I tend to go a little over on protein, but I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing as long as you're not over in calories. I could be wrong though. But before shakes I hardly ate any protein, so right now I feel like I need extra.

That seems a tad excessive. You can calculate it for body building by your lean mass.....totally forgetting where I did that but mine was like 100-120 a day or something which is way under my actual weight.

I got natures way and if you don't blend it it is like drinking milky chalk I put it in the blender today and it is still funky consistency but I can chug it down I may add ice tomorrow and see if that improves it.

I heard that it was supposed to be 1gram/1lb if you're at your goal weight but if you're still losing to aim 1gram/1lb of what your goal weight is.

Honestly, if my protein is in the red I'm excited

As for clumpy, tastless protein shakes, for me, I couldn't find one that I could use since I have Celiac's (gluten allergy) and and extreme sensitivity to soy (sets my hormones into "hold the fat no matter what" mode - took me 3 years to reset & finally lose 20lbs!) I found Olympian Labs Pea Protein which I mix with water (don't use milk or juice as really don't want those extra cals for no reason) and their chocolate is pretty good. I just tried a sample of their vanilla and it's not bad either. I'll usually add a shake of cinnamon & ginger spice to the chocolate one to "spice" it up and it works.

Just for anyone who wants to try something new. Oh, and it's 25g protein & 103 cals per serving - best over-all I've ever found out there!

Well I meant your body weight in kilograms, if you missed that. Like for me, I weigh 145 lbs but in kgs I think it's about 66. So I try to consume around 66 grams of protein per day. I don't think that's excessive, but I could be wrong! I just googled it a while back and I found that information on a "how much protein do you need per day" calculator.

Ah super duper I was thinking lbs.

try and take a gram of protein for every pound of body weight and drink plenty
