Question about the Protein shakes!

Ok so for the past couple of days I've got all my protein in and I was looking back in my book to see some new ideas for meals and I noticed that one of the meals they suggest is 4 oz of CIB with one scoop of Unjury which brings you about 26grams and I always make mine and set them in the freezer cause I like them ICE cold so I havent tasted it yet but has anyone put only 4oz of milk in with all that powder???? Cause that just seems like a WHOLE lot with a little bit of milk! Ive been making a full glass and putting the recommended amount in there and taking only 4oz out at a time and drinking it that way?? HELP i hope i haven't been doing this wrong!!! LOL  Thanks

as long as you are getting in your protein any way you can will work

Okay YUCK to make it that way taste aweful! Yeah Im getting my protein in but I was looking for some new ways any ideas! Thanks

Hi Misty, I never did use the CIB. Just a personal choice.  For my protein shakes, I used 1 scoop of Unjury and 3 oz of skim milk to get a 4 oz shake.     At times, I did add one scoop of vanilla unjury to orange crystal light to make an orange creamsicle drink to sip on.   It wasn't bad...but I had to keep shaking it because it separated easily.  I found it was easier just to drink the shakes for my meal and then rely on sf popsicles and different flavors of crystal light in between the shakes for variety. 

I am with you Chris.  It seems like the best way at least for me is doing three shakes for my meals and then drinking water and crystal light in between.  Hopefully I can a snack in to get some extra protein.  I have not been doing the CIB either.  I just do the skim milk and unjury and yes the powder seems like a lot but once you get it mixed up it is okay.  You can always call me and we can discuss it lol.

 I use 8 oz super skim milk with 1 scoop of unjury and it's good.  I think 4 oz would make it too thick.

Hi, I use 1 and 1/2 scoops of the vanilla Unjury .( 30 grams protein) Mixed with water in my magic bullet. Then I add crushed ice in the blender to make like a thick shake. I also added  crystal lite (or sgar free jello) to flavor early out. Now I use peanut butter  (less powder), strawberries and my favorite is mixing it with decaf coffee. The magic bullet really does make  a difference in getting it mixed up. You can use the  sugar free Davinci flavorings also. Hope this helps.

I used and still do Body Fortress from WalMart. It is cheapest and best tasting protein powder I have tried. AND I have tried them all!  Robbins from the health store is good, but pricey. Early on I would take 1 scoop (23 g protein) and 4 ounces of milk. Eventually I would take 2 scoops with 8 ounces and drink on it for an hour or so while running my errands, etc. Even now I will grab 1 scoop and 4 ounces for a quick meal or to make up if I am really short on protein for the day. The Chocolate powder is just like Nesquick and mixes like choc milk. It is not thick or frothy. I will use it in my magic bullet with 2 ice cubes for a shake like drink. Just drink and drink.... Hot tea was my lifesaver. I still get most of my liquid from hot tea and lattes (LOL) I found that I could drink warm beverages so much easier than cold ones.  I got a nespresso machine for Christmas and just LOVE IT!  (8 g protein - 110 cals) It is made with SF Vanilla or caramel syrup, 3 splendas and 1 cup skim/2% milk with a shot of coffee. yummers Sherryl Started @ 370  8/23/06 Current @ 173 Headed for 150ish  I hope!
