Question:
CAN SOMEONE ADVISE ME ON A PROTEIN DRINK (WHEY) THAT CAN BE MADE WITH OUT A BLENDER?

BESIDES A PRE-MADE PROTEIN DRINK, I JUST CURIOUS DO THEY ALL HAVE TO BE MADE IN THE BLENDER TO TASTE GOOD?    — msstacey (posted on November 4, 2003)

I use BIOPLEX 100% whey complex. 20 grams of protein per scoop total carbs 2 sugars 1 calories 100 You can stir this with a spoon or put into a shaker style cup w/lid and go to town and it will turn out. I myself perfer ff lactaid milk with a few ice cubes. Good luck.

I love the Proplete Gold flavors mixed in a shaker with skim milk & a couple of ice cubes just to get it super cold. My favorite is the pineapple, but the other flavors are great too. Sometimes I add a tbsp of dried milk just to add a little extra protein.

Many whey protein drinks can easily be mixed with a shaker cup. I feel the shaker cups work much better than a spoon.

The apple protein nectar by Syntrax can be mixed with a spoon in a glass of cold water. It dissolves completely. Tastes jut like apple juice BUT is bright green. It is the consistency of apple juice too. One of my favorites. You can buy it at: <BR><BR> Vitamin Shoppe <BR> http://www.wlssuccess.com/nectar.htm <BR> http://www.vitalady.com/products-protein-nectar.htm

www.gourmetprotien.com they will give you a sample of each of their seven flavors for only $4.95 (that includes shipping). I simply mix it with a fork into milk or water.. they are awesome!!!

My vote goes to the Nectar and pro-plete gold mixes, they dissolve wonderfully, (although in my experience the nectar is much quicker and more complete, but not by much). both are such a step ahead from the old clumping powders that took minutes in a blender. One tip to remember (thanks Susan Maria) is to put your powders FIRST in the glass, then the water, and then stir, and no clumps or leftover portions floating about. The only diff. is that the nectars have a more fresh fruity taste, and the proplete is a somewhat creamier (not thicker) taste. I use both, variety is the spice of life! I also use the nectar with watered down crytal lite to add a boost to the flavor (not that it needs it), but again, just to add a taste variety. Some people love 'em, (me) and some folks hate 'em, that's how I got my sample, from someone who tried a smaple and hated it, everyones tastes are different. Definitely try the samples, then search for a good price.

Unjury is made from Whey protein. It just needs to be stirred or shaken. Looks, smells and tastes like chocolate milk. www.unjury.com If you email Jerome he will send you a couple samples, from what I understand they are free. You can get his email address off the unjury site.

i have found that most of the ones listed are too expensive so I buy EAS whey protein hi-performance at Walmaet for 8.46 a cannister. It has 20g protein per scoop and mixes easily in water or skim milk using a fork or spoon.

I drink Real Meals and have since 6 days post op. They mix up in a shaker bottle really well and have 30 grams of protein in just 6 ounces of water or milk.

My vote goes to the canned shakes from Trader Joe's. I think they are called Ultra Protein. Tasty and easy, some have 35 grams of protein!

HI! My favorite protein powders are Unjury- I really don't like milk so - I find that the chocolate is very satisfying in a cup of decaf coffee and the vanilla is awesome in a sugar free tang ( or other sf orange flavored drink) The mixability of Unjury is what impresses me most- it can even be stirred up in water and disolves quite well! My second favorite is the Apple Nectar- I liked it best in the summer time since it is so refreshing- now that the weather is changing- I'm sticking to the unjury and decaf- I look forward to drinking it- It actually feels like I'm having a "treat" when I get in my protein. Best of luck to you on your journey! Lynda Bishop Open RNY March 28, 03/ started 304- currently 178.

I use DESINGER WHEY in the chocolate flavor. Its good, it mixes without a blender and is only 12.95 for a 2lb can. Also, if you can tolerate SOY, there is a ready made soy drink called SOY DREAMS at wal-mart. Its really good. Except that you'll need to drink 1 entire box of it a day unless you mix it with 1/4 a cup fat free milk. It can be really sweet though, but no sugar.

I do not have access to a blender at work. I have mixed GNC, Isopure and every other kind of protein I have had with just a gravy shaker from Tupperware. It has a blender thing in it which helps the blending process. My shakes tatse fine as long as I use really cold milk or water. Alot of health food stores carry hand shakers as well. Best wishes -

I bought the GNC brand whey protein mix. I also bought their shaker cup (kind of like tupperware's) for $4.99. The instructions on the protein mix say to mix one scoop in 1 cup of water. I use 1/2-2/3 cup of milk instead and add 1 1/2 scoops of the powder. It tastes pretty good and each shake is 30 grams of protein, I'm really pleased with it. And it mixed really well, no clumps. The other stuff (bought at Walmart)I was using was clumpy, I had to hold my nose, and the after taste was awful. GNC's brand is $26 for 42 servings vs. $10 for 14 servings.

i went to www.nectar.com and ordered their very berry cherry - it really tastes good, is totally water soluble, and you don't need a blender. I'm a die-hard protein drink hater too, but this is great stuff.

Pampered Chef has a shaker also that works GREAT for this very thing! I use it at work or at friends houses or when I dont want to clean up a big mess! I use the walmart brand whey protein, and when I was just shaking it up in a bottle, it clumped, but the pampered chef thingy works much better!!
