Creamy protein shakes?

[macska]

Hello all

I'm in the look out for some new protein shakes. Beside Myoplex which one gets really creamy in the blender? Most of them stay just so watery. Thanks a lot, Mari

Sorry, I can't help. I only use Myoplex. I love them!

Carb Solutions. I get it at Wal-Mart. I chop 6 pieces of ice in a blender. Then add 6-8 ounces of water and two scoops of Carb Solutions Shake Mix and let it blend until fully blended and contents have doubled in size...super fluffy! It's pretty darn good and only 110 calories, 20-21 grams of protein!

Could you make it creamier by reducing the amount of water you use? Or by using some kind of milk with it? Adding a banana would make it creamier, but I don't know if you'd want to do that.

I make a morning shake with protein/vegan meal replacement powder; frozen fruit; either juice (usually pomegranate), soy milk or water )(not much if it's water) and powdered glucosamine, and powdered calcium citrate. Once in a while, I'll use a banana, too, but I haven't lately. I never find them to be watery at all. Sometimes, I've gotten them too thick to drink, like melty ice cream. Then I just eat them with a spoon.

Wow, am I one of the only people that makes my protien shake with milk? Is it bad to make it with FF Milk? I usually make it with a cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water.

I use water because I don't like milk...unless it's mixed with tons of chocolate syrup, and that's a no-no!

Thank you ladies. I'll try carb Solutions. Sometimes I use fruits in the shake but I'm really looking for the creaminess of Myoplex. I'm just soooo very bored with that....

I use light vanilla or plain nonfat soymilk made by West Soy. I like mine creamy & thick. Neither of those would I consider unhealthy.

I use GNC brand 100% Whey protein (chocolate)..and it is very creamy with water, or milk..esp with skim milk..I use 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 cup of ice, 1/2 cup ice cold water and the whey protein and it taste like a chocolate shake!!!!!!!!!!!!REALLY!!

I also use Shaklee's instant soy protein (natural flavor)1 cup of milk and 1/2-1 cup frozen strawberries and 1/2 banana..now that is one creamy shake, and it is my all time favorite...yummy!!!!


I was thining the other day that this would be a yummy shake...

1 cup ice cold water, 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder, 1 skinny cow fudge bar all blended together...I bet that would taste really good!!! I need to try this out..
