Would like to know what the best way of making the protein shakes would be?  I've researched the Mr. Coffee Frap Machine and I've also heard the magic bullet is good too.  Any thoughts, opinions on what you ladies prefer.  I`ve also looked into Click as that was raved about at the last M&G,  is it made with artificial sweetener, or is there a specific flavor you suggest buying.
Thanks

I used the Magic Bullet in the beginning but I found it made the shake too frothy. Hurt my tummy to drink it. So I got shaker bottles and I love them. I put them in the freezer for about a half hour before I need it. Nice and frosty chocolate shake makes me happy!

As for the Click I have no idea, I'm allergic to coffee. :)

With the Optifast I used a shaker bottle at work.   The shakes aren't bad prepared this way, but they're rather thick.  My favorite way to prepare the shakes was in a regular kitchen blender with water and ice cubes.  They reminded me more of a milk shake when made this way.  Very tasty.

I am using a good blender that has the ice chopper and snow feature at home.  I seem to like the  optifast best as a thick frosty concoction.  I am using a tupperware shaker bottle when I am  out and about and a small blender at my office.  I don't have ice at the office and it's not as good  without it but it is ok.  Now post surgery I have no idea what I will prefer.  I will say that I have been adding sugarfree flavourings to the optifast to make it more enjoyable and coffee!  I am almost out of the caramel which is delicious and I have not found anymore here in Canada.  Bought them in Grand Forks @ Walmart they are called Torani and come in choc, raspberry, caramel and a couple of others I believe.

I'm using a vitamix blender.  It is amazing!  

I'm doing green drinks.  Water, some sort of leafy green (I alternate) with fruit (i alternate) and add a scoop of protein powder once its all blended.

Vitamix is so powerpul it liquifies the greens... 

And surprisingly these green drinks taste like a glass of Fresh.

I think this will help with some nutrition post as well.

Girls at work got me on to this... trust me, it took a long time before I would even try a sip of theirs.   I was shocked that I liked it so much.   Now I'm hooked!

Loved the Magic Bullet (and you can use it when you get to the puréed/mushie stage too) but yes it can make it a little frothy if you don't add milk / almond milk / soy mil**** If you're just using protein powder and water, the blender bottles from GNC work pretty good but they're big.

I have a bamix which I like ( a powerful hand blender) but I also just like the cheap cups with lids from popeyes... I bought a bunch for 99 cents each.
