Boring whey shakes? Try this!

Then I added two very simple items to make the whey shakes awesome. Ice and cottage cheese. The ice thickens the shake, so that it is much more filling and enjoyable. The more ice you add, the thicker it gets (I have had it as thick as frozen yogurt). Too much ice and it can really make the shake taste bland. I would suggest 6-8 cubes for a really thick shake. I wouldn't think of having a shake without ice now. I don't know why I added cottage cheese to my shake, but it seriously makes it better (IMO anyways). I find it makes the shake creamier and adds to the flavour (kind of reminds me of ice cream… but its been so long since I have ice cream maybe I forgot). I have only done this when using water as my liquid, so I don't know how well it would work with milk or juice. So anyone thats struggling with their shakes, try these simple additions (especially the ice) to make it better. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~

So unless you have an good blender that can crush cubes without damaging the blades, I would get an ice crusher. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.
