The dangers of making a protein shake ;)

Ugh, I make myself a protein frapachinno every morning, this morning I tossed all my stuff in the blender cup and threw it into the blender. There was a huge noise and all of a sudden milk, protein powder and coffee are spraying all over my kitchen. At first I was so shocked I had no idea what I was looking at, I thought I had not put the bottom part on tight enough, but after taking it all apart to clean up I saw that a giant piece of the plastic had blow right out the side. Totally bizarre. 

 
 

It went underneath all of that stuff, all over the wall, all down behind the counters, it took me over an hour to clean it all up!

What a mess. After reading your post I went and gave my blender a check for cracks. Hope you get a new blender that doesn't break apart.

 I like my GNC blender if you need to get a new one :)

Yikes - !!!   Glad that piece of plastic did not hit you and cut you!

That does not look like a fun mess to clean up, glad you weren't hurt!!
I can finally have caffeine again later this week and have been looking for ways to make a protein coffee, would you mind sharing your recipe?

 I do 8 ozs of almond milk, a scoop of whatever protein powder I fancy at the moment (right now its Optimum Nutrition carmel toffee fudge), about 6 ozs of coffee, 2 stevia packets and ice to the top, then I blend it in my blender. 

I have also been know to throw a package of D'Vita sugar free cappuccino powder, and/or sugar free syrups to make it interesting.

That sounds awesome, thanks!

Oops!! I had a similar mess when I first started making protein coffee. I didnt realize the powder should be mixed with a cooler liquid then stirred into the hot coffee.

I put a scoop of powder directly in the hot coffee put the lid on my blender bottle and then shook like crazy. Apparently it builds pressure and it blew the lid off the blender bottle. I had protein coffee all over me, the floor, the cabinet, the stove and the ceiling!!

Needless to say I was late to work that day due to the clean up of the kitchen and myself.

Thanks for posting, I will look at my magic bullet blender cup and check for cracks!!

That really bites!  So sorry about your busted up blender! They just aren't built like they used to be.  I love my Vitamix.  It's a little pricey, but my kitchen is clean....LOL Deb!  I can totally see your surprised face when that lid blew off ...and your's Tripmom when you saw the mess!!!  And thanks for the recipe.  Sounds great in the glass!!!

What a way to start your day! Where do you get your caramel toffee fudge protein from, that sounds good, even though I'm not a chocolate fan, Esp with
some coffee. Does it taste real sweet
