Menus and Miles Saturday Jan. 21st

I've been bugging you all day...sorry! 

What kind of unflavored do you buy? 

Jody buys the protein pudding cups at GNC but I haven't priced them.  I'd rather make my own if I could find something that I liked.

I buy American Pure Whey isolate in bulk.  They have different flavors but I just buy the unflavored so I can use it in different things.
if you go to their website and send them an email they will let you know how to buy samples.  I don't think they have the unflavored in a sample, though.  I think I paid $5.99 for 10 envelopes.  I love their cake batter flavor.

I forgot, you also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg and ricotta mixture.

 Ohh, that french toast sounds divine! I wonder if you can do it w blended cottage cheese? I will give it a try! (yes, up at no o'clock again ;)

 Hey all!!! I was at my SIL's baby shower today which made for interesting eats...

B: scrambled eggs 1/2 wheat toast
S: 2 slices of cheddar cheese
L: handful of strawberries, some crustless quiche, cheese stuffed mushrooms
D: Not hungry after the all afternoon graze

Not a great day protein wise. It is always hard for me when I travel out of town for one day. Tomorrow, back to shakes. I bought the sample pack of Nectar Syntrax and am working my way through them. So far 0 for 3. No to Caribbean cooler, crystal sky and pink grapefruit. The flavors just didn't appeal to me and I can still smell that funny odor some of the isolate proteins give off. Also, I can't figure out how to mix them with out getting all of that disgusting foam!

Any ideas?

I didn't like any of those flavors either.  Most people like the Fuzzy Navel and the Lemon Tea.  I also liked the Strawberry Kiwi and the Cherry.  Now I just put crystal lite or MIO flavorings in my Lemon Tea if I need variety instead of buying a lot of flavored jugs.

Do you use a shaker cup with a lid and a steel ball in it?    I buy mine at GNC.  I don't notice the foam at all when I'm drinking it. Sometimes at the end there might be some left in the cup but never once have a gotten a gulp of it.

My Protein Drinks are something that I never leave out of my menu.  I actually crave them now.  I use a baby formula container.  I have the ones with 4 sections and each section holds 1 scoop.  Since I mix all of my drinks with water and ice that's easy to find when you are out. 

Looks like you are pretty low in the Protein Stats but it looks like you made good choices.

i haven't tried any of those flavors because they just didn't appeal to me but the lemon tea foams.  What I do is mix it in about 1/2 c water with a spoon.  Then add the rest of the water slowly.  I usually mix it before I go to the qym and drink it after.  It mixes well with just a spoon and then all the foam that does happen, is gone after the wait.  I also mix a tube of crystal light in since i make it 4 cups.  I am fine with it room temp or cold but in this cold weather, room temp is best for me.
