I use Syntrax chocolate truffle protein powder and add a packet of Swiss Miss light (used to be called diet) - it is only 25 calories. I mix both in about 4 oz. cold water first to dissolve and then add about 8 oz. of ho****er to that. For 125 calories I get a tasty 12 oz. of hot cocoa protein goodness!
I thought I had posted this before, but I couldn't find it today, so I'm posting it again. Please excuse if it is a duplicate.

You mean when you put your shake in the blender? I tried that and got the same result. Here's what I do now.
I use this cup SmartShaker because it has a removable filter in the lid to stop clumps from getting through. It also has removable cups for your protein powder and vitamins for when you're on the go.
I also add a wire mixer ball, because it helps to break up the clumps. I hate clumps.
I make my shakes in the morning, shake them up good, and then put them in the fridge until I'm ready to drink them. By then, they are clump free and (after a quick shake or two to remix) ready to go. You could add your blended fruit just before you drink the shake.
Another option would be to just blend your shakes in the morning or the night before and let them sit in the fridge until the bubbles are gone. A quick shake to remix and they should be drinkable, I would think.
Hi try this one
I had beef vegetable soup today that was Tasty. Very easy.
~1lb Stew Beef
1 carton beef stock
can o' diced potatoes
can o' diced tomatoes (I used one with garlic and olive oil)
a bunch (I didn't measure) of frozen mixed veggies
a pouch of beef onion soup
6 hours on low.
I share your love of crockpot too!!
On my preop diet and trying to be serious about the protein shake requirements. I am allowed to add a few healthy ingredients (very limited fruit). However, when I add them to my NEW ninja nutribullet thing (Black Friday Deal!), it doubles in volume due to air bubbles...which I don't like (and I"m sure would be uncomfortable post op!). Tips? Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks!

I make my own and freeze some, so I can have it anytime I want it.
