protein pops

Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/03/18, 03:47 PM I have been making protein shakes at work (Myoplex Lite) and the texture is starting to really bother me. It's like thick mud after a while.. bleech. Does anyone do anything creative with their powders like freeze it into fudge pops or mix with something to dip strawberries in?? (I haven't tried these they just occurred to me today as I force another one down). -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli

The other day i made a myoplex shake. Added a little extra water and didnt have time to drink it. About an hour later it seemed to thin out and was much better. -------------- Don't sweat what you have no control over... WILL IT MATTER IN A HUNDRED YEARS....

As for the protein powder, the difference between shaken and blended is like night and day. If that helps. Milk is preferrable over water too. If it fits into your plan, of course.

Also cheaper than myoplex. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. The world is mine now and forever.No one holds command over me. No man. No god.

My trouble is this case of Myoplex packets under my desk at work that I just don't like (it's that consistency jdelts mentioned). I figure I bought it, I better use it... just trying to find a way to make it more appetizing until I use it up. I guess I could always eBay it :cool:

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/03/19, 01:51 PM I have made protein pops myself. I have found with experimentation that only some proteins do well(freeze and hold like a popsicle). Beverly Ultra size is one that works well, in fact they sent me a popsicle maker! Comes with little plastic sticks and everything. Kind of cool in the summer time. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
