Okay, first...need more info on how you all use the chike or click coffee powders. 

Second, used my bullet this morning with fat free Greek vanilla yogurt, milk, frozen strawberries and some Designer Whey chocolate protein powder......NASTY!!!

It was gritty and just gag inducing gross. 

Ideas please.....

I use Optimum Nutrition double chocolate protein powder and I just mix it in a blender bottle with almond milk.

I mix yogurt, protein powder and water in a cup and mix it with a spoon.  I let it sit for a couple minutes to let any powder globs dissolve.

maybe you used too much powder.  But i would advise against using a bullet to make shakes, too much foam.  maybe blend everything else well and add the powder at very end for jsut a few seconds.

click is nasty.  fit frappe espresso is the best i've had.

I use a bullet no problem with grit or foam. I let it blend for about 2 minutes then turn off & add a little ice  & blend again.

For Chike, I take one scoop (not the standard serving of two scoops) and mix it with 1 cup Carb Master milk and 2 tsp. instant espresso powder. 2 scoops is just too many calories and carbs for me, so I use half the standard serving and bump up the flavor with that instant espresso powder.

Made with Carb Master milk, my morning shake ends up with 125 calories, 21 grams of protein, and 8 grams of carbs.

Can't help you with Click - I tried it once and thought it was horrific. Poured the shake down the drain and threw away the rest of the samples I bought. I like living dangerously so I may buy some more samples and try again though! You never know how tastes change.

Oooh, good idea on the espresso powder!  I feel the same way about the carb/cal count of a full serving so I will have to try this.  Mixed ha;f strength, it's a little too sweet for me.

I do chike and click the same way.  1/2 a serving/1 scoop, mixed with 8 oz of almond milk (unsweetened of course) and a pump or two of SF torani syrup.  This morning's was white chocolate and speculoos.  Then I fill the shaker up with ice (I prefer whole cubes rather than ice crushed into the shake).  

I like chike better than click, but I do think the click has a stronger coffee taste.  It's way too much for me at full strength, though.

I have the nutri bullet and as said above put everything your going to mix together in it ...except the protein powder mix it up then open add the protein powder and mix for like 10 to 15 seconds and no foam or grit.... good luck... ps always start with the liquid the the powder don't put the powder in first then it's a pain to blend quick....  best of luck :')
