Question:
This is just a suggestion for making protein shakes a lil better
Someone told me to add a splash or two of heavy cream to the protein shakes, add a little ice to make it like a creamy milkshake treat. I've tried it and it ain't half bad but I can only drink half a protein shake with the ice and cream=Let me know what you guys think or are doing to spice up thos protein shakes. — TotallyTori (posted on June 24, 2003)

Just a thought - but isn't heavy cream loaded with calories? Maybe I'm
wrong but I thought heavy cream would surely make you dump. Hmmm......I
bet it would taste good though. *smile* Best wishes all!

Cool Whip free has the same effect yet it has low carbs and no sugar.

Ditch the heavy cream, and use some no fat whipped cream and some sugar
free syrups. Be a little creative, and try several different syrups.
There are many different flavors available. With a little time you will be
craving shakes, but not have all the time to try all the ways to make them.
Good Luck

wow.. someone said to put heavy cream in a protein drink? Might as well
put ice cream in it... and truthfully, I do... SF low fat stuff.. and a
very small amount.. usually about 1/8 of a cup, maybe as much as a
quarter... to about three scoops of protein, some ice.. and some water or
coffee (I don't do milk)... that seems to really make it better for me.
Good luck.. and SF chocolate milk powder.. and unsweetened cocoa... HIGH
end.. ditch the hersheys.

I haven't ever tried heavy cream. Is that fattening? I have a suggestion
also; what I do is use 4-6oz water, 1/2 tsp sugar free koolaid mix(ie.
lemonade or watermelon- cherry are my favorites) which have 0 carbs,and 0
sugar and throw that in the blender with 3-4 frozen strawberries,2 cubes of
ice and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. You can use more or less koolaid to
taste and add splenda or your favorite sugar substitute to sweeten. It
tastes kind of fruity! I can even get the kids to drink it. Make frozen
drinks or smoothies!!! There is alot you can do with protein powder, but I
think the key is to find a protein powder that tastes good to you!! Being
able to mask the flavor with ingredients like the lemonaid kookaid make all
the difference. You can even go to websites like alacarb.com that sell sf
non-alcholic magarita mix, sf eggnog mix, sf no-alcholic pina colada mix
and sf syrups. Hope this helps!!!

Well geesh I don't mean pour heavy cream in it I'm talking a TBSP which is
only 50 cals, as much as I hear people loading the cheese on everything
from chili to sandwiches I didn;t think heavy cream would be that big a
deal well it was just a suggestion-BTW just cause it may taste like ice
cream doesn;t mean you have to eat ice cream to the previous poster
