Re: Protein shake question

Hi, Lori!

I've had great success just mixing the OptiPro with just a spoon.

The vanilla caramel and the strawberry are excellent. If you'd like some

samples, you can send me your address off list and I'll send them to you. :-)

Protein shake question

hi family! who makes their shakes w/out a blender or mixer? i'm

asking because i'll be out of the country for a few days & am planning

to bring along prot powder & i guess a tupperware thingie & want to

just shake the thing. too much of a drag to travel w/ a blender.

which brand(s) blend well manually?

thanx!

lori h.

re-starting shakes, it's been a while:-)

Hi Lori,

If you are going to do shakes for just a few days to get back on

track, why don't you try the premixed ones. I use Myoplex Carb Sense

or Low Carb. It comes in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. I adore

the chocolate and strawberry, even though I'm not a strawberry

person. Just keep them cold. I like them over crushed ice, my fridge

delivers it that way so it's easy for me. At WalMart a box of 4

shakes is $5.50, a little more expensive than the powdered stuff,

but I think well worth it.

Have a good trip!

A word of warning ... be careful with pre-mixed protein. If it comes in a can,

it's probably got MUCH less protein than the label reads (especially for the

sugar/fat content). Myoplex Lo Carb is recommended. Just make sure it's the Lo

Carb version and NOT the EAS Myoplex Carb Sense (this is a low quality hard to

digest version of Lo Carb mass-marketed for discount stores). If you do buy

prepackaged, it's advised to buy it in flash packs (the cardboard versions of

prepackaging) as opposed to aluminum cans.

Here's a good article that talks about protein, quality protein and what to be

leery of.

Hope that helps,

Hi Lori I found GNC 100% Whey Chocolate to be the most tolerable

protein mix yet. The powder mixes thin and non-lumpy. When I travel

I get Ziplock snack baggies and put a scoop of powder in each baggie

(I fill up enough to last my trip) and take a shaker cup that I

bought at GNC. When it is time for my shake I use 8 oz of bottled

water and powder from a baggie in my shaker cup and voile, instant

shake.

Out of country, huh? Do I smell a European vacation? OH, HOW I

DREAM.

hey toi. not europe, we're heading out to the panama canal sunday.

my hubb will be working there for a couple of days. just found out

about the trip this morning, & i keep thinking the baggage screeners

will be sure the suitcase belongs to ms olympia, with all the supps,

prot bars, turkey jerky,hehehe.
