what can I do to make my shakes not so foamy?

I use a wire wisk to mix it works really well

If you prefer to shake them and then add ice, less foam. But if they are Nectar or Forever Fit, they are just foamy, no matter what you do.

How long do you hold the bullet? I pulse about 5 times, so less than 10 seoncds

Some methods work better than others, but unfortunately, the foaming results from whey protein isolate.  It is the worst offender for causing foam.

It is not so much the foam being created from the isolate but the stabilizers added.  Blending or shaking less will eliminate the foaming or adding less liquid to the mix.  The better the quality protein the fewer the issues.  We have been working with many Bariatric medical groups and Protizyme (which is better tasting, equal or better quality than isopure and less expensive) has been a widely embraced protein/meal replacement.   I like Gobignutrition.com's service and I know they carry it. It is also widely distributed but there is some fake product on amazon and ebay.  Here is their link:

Hope if helps some of you.  My aunt loves the stuff. 

I use the Hamilton Beach single serve blender from Walmart $18 - no foam.  Here is a recipe that I use:

8 ounces of FF milk (I use Lactaid)
2 tablespoons of SF Chocolate syrup (I use Torani or DaVinci)
5 ice cubes (foamy if use less ice cubes)
1 1/2 scoops of chocolate protein powder (I use GNC ProPerformance 100% Whey Protein)
2 tablespoons of SF Chocolate Pudding Powder
1 sliced banana

Put it all in the blender and you have a delicious chocolate milk shake with 38 grams of protein.

I like to get the pre mixed ones because I had the same problem.  My favorite are the EAS carbcontrol shakes I get them at Sams.  I have also tried muscle milk shakes and I dont think they are as good but other people like them better.
