How to make protein shaek more consistent?

[Specialbear]

Hey all. I make shakes around 3-4 pm and want to keep it around 350 cals max. I already use 2 scoops pwder (GNC Pro Performance Strawberry) . However, it always comes out really liquidly, and i wanted it to be more of a 'smoothie' texture. What can i add to it to make it so?

Also, im almost out of this flavor, and it was OK. Any recs out there? I heard ON was the best price and taste wise, agree?

Ice and through it in the blender.

Try adding Half a Banana.

instead of fruit would yogurt work? I can get that much easier

nm, i just did 2 scoops powder, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 15 ice cubes, and a dash of equal/cinammon and it came out great.

Next ?, what is the best tasting powder out there that is reasonably affordable. I just finished the strawberry and would like to avoid it from now on.

I love Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate.....good chocolate-y taste...

I use ice & some skim milk & water when blending....

also for a cappucino type flavor freeze leftover strong coffee in ice cube trays & use a few cubes when blending

Try Ice:

Ice:
Suggested Serving: 3-5 cubes (50g)
Fat: 0g
Carbs: 0g
Protein: 0g
Cals: 0g



But on a more serious note, I've discovered that ice from the freezer doesn't work too well. Bagged ice (from supermarket or convenience store) works best and crushes easiest.

ON vanilla ice cream flavor is very good. And for a change, you can add some chocolate powder.
