Mix in blender until smooth, very fruity, sweet, and thick, tastes like I shouldn't be drinking it. Gonna try Peaches, then rassberries next. 8)

I tried a handful of frozen rasberries today. That was really good but I don't like the seeds. 8( I know, I'm picky. I'm wondering now what a chocolate-rasberry shake would taste like. hrmmm.

When I tried the strawberries in the berry flavored protein mix it was an overload on my taste buds. Good idea with the applesauce alorle, I can't believe I never thought of it before. -------------- "Without the will, there's no way" Stan

In the other shakes you can use milk or half milk/half water. I even use soy milk for my shakes....... -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
roni0906 Posts: 1,008 Joined: 2002/01/24	2002/03/07, 07:40 PM Wow, I have been using water in my shakes for the past 6 weeks. I like the results that I am seeing but will switch over to milk and see if I can see the difference. Thanks for the advice. -------------- Lisa

The milk you should use in your "before bed" protein shake to slower down the protein absorbtion during the night. I'm so sorry. I thought of water and then wrote milk (now what can Sigmund Freud get out of this one?!!! lol) -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

If bulking then it's okey with orange juice just after training (lots of sugar) If you are cutting (wanting to loose fat) then you should avoid everything with too much sugar. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
roni0906 Posts: 1,008 Joined: 2002/01/24	2002/03/10, 07:23 PM I tried my protein shake with milk and it taste better. I workout kinda late so should I use milk or water? I take one shake in the morning and one after my workout. -------------- Lisa
Alorle Posts: 196 Joined: 2001/10/07	2002/03/10, 10:12 PM If you mix your shake with milk, you should not add anything else to it (like fruit). The milk adds up to a carb portion in your shake and makes it balanced (it also adds a good bit of protein). If you mix it with water, you can add fruit to even out the carb/protein ratio. -------------- "Do not try. Do. Or do not. There is no try" --Yoda
