Smoothies: What am I doing wrong?

I've been trying smoothie recipes that I found on the Eggface website.  However, when I blend them up and pour them in my cup, they are really foamy.  What am I doing wrong or are they suppose to be that way?   

You're not doing anything wrong.  The blender just adds air -- I don't like the foam -- but a couple hours in the fridge and things settle. 

Ultimately, I just went to using a blender bottle.

I bought a blender bottle this weekend.  I think I will stick with it.

Anytime you use a mixer of some sort to mix up your shake they will likely end up foamy. Just put a lid on them and put them back in the fridge for a half an hour. They will settle down.

I always liked them foamy.

I have not been to that site yet, but what are you using to make the smoothies?

Most times smoothies are foamy

Guess I was expecting them to be like those at Smoothie King.  Kinda like a think slush.  Not the case.  Foamy and nasty.  Protein is bad enough but now it taste like foamy crap instead of liquid crap.

well i think the more slush is from them adding alot of ice,  they make more money charging you for frozen water then ingredients in the smoothies  :)

I think I'm going to try blending up the ice, then put it all in my blender cup and see what happens.  Get creative!

Nik has got loads of ways to jazz up your shakes and a whole Triple X method to making the shakes.  Love Love Love her blog!   maybe you can find something you enjoy :D Its almost impossiable not to!!!

I make shakes all the time in a blender and never get foam - I don't know what I do different but they are delicious. I do use a single serve blender if that makes a difference.

Here is my recipe that I use"

Chocolate Monkey

8 ounces of skim milk - I use lactaid
2 tablespoons of SF chocolate syrup (I use toroni or DaVinci)
5 ice cubes
1 1/2 scoops of chocolate protein powder (I use pro performance - 100% Whey Protein from GNC) = red package
2 tablespoons of SF chocolate pudding powder
1 sliced banana

Put it all in the blender at one time and blend for approx. 45se****il smooth. This gives you a delicious chocolate shake with approx. 45 grams of protein.
