Blending Shakes

[jammyjaney]

I was just wondering how everyone blends their shakes up! I don't feel that shaking them gets rid of the powder! I have a hand held blender but that's a little messy!

I have a hand held shaker but agree that it's not best. I use a jug and hand held blender most of time and it does a good job. I think trick is to get hang of it so it doesn't cover the whole kitchen

Have you bought a CWP beaker with the little whisky gadget in it? I use that and it's fab x

I use that aswel... and I think it was only £4.50 x it is really good!!

Oh and no mess

i have a balloon hand whisk and a large jug....or one of those cheapo shakers that the gym folk use for their protein shakes. It cost about £3 and works a treat

I use the shakers (I have one each if the Cambridge one with the whisk ball and a maxi muscle one with the plastic mesh thing in it). I think the trick is to shake for like a minute. Think about getting rid of those bingo wings as you do it! Also make sure the water goes in before the powder.

I think ink some of the shakes always taste powdery (choc orange) but get those arms moving and it should be good.

Shaking for a whole minute is tiring (I timed it once to see how long it actually is!) got to work for your dinner!

So far only used the shaker, but yeah I do find they still come out a bit lumpy. Was shaking my lunch one for a good couple of mins and still had a few lumps in it. It's all I can use at work though, so will just make do

 

[LizzRob]

i dont mind the lumps weirdly! i also use loads of water rather than the amount on the packet! i prefer them thinner

 

[Tiggemma]

I use lots of water too. Always good to get the extra water in!

 

[LizzRob]

When I have my shakes now, I have a pint glass and another glass as I use about 800ml of water! Lol
