Thread: Blender or whisk?

I'm starting s&s on Thurs & wondered what is best way to mix the shakes? Should I invest in a smoothie maker to ensure lump free shakes or do they mix well with a whisk?

I use a stick blender for the shakes when I have them cold, takes 10 seconds to mix and really easy to clean compared to a smoothie maker.

When I have the shakes hot (usually at work as less conspicuous!) I use a battery milk frother - 99p from Ikea! For the hot meals I find the little bits get trapped in the whisk part of the frother so use a small normal whisk.

I use a shaker which is handy for work times and it mixes well enough

I use a hand blender, comes out nice and smooth!

Ok thanks.

I'm a blender kinda girl too :-) for the shakes anyway. Soups and meals I use a hand whisk.

I have an LL shaker or use a handblender at home with ice - very nice. I'm going away next week and for convenience have purchased a funnel to get the powder into a regular water bottle and I'll just shake it (having drunk a little of it first) - then it's all disposable so no washing up facilities needed when I'm wandering round Prague in the snow

Oh Noodles, how good are you! That's really impressive that you intend to continue whilst on holiday. You've got some very strong willpower x
And Prague? Fab! Never been myself but it's supposed to be lovely :-)

And also just noticed you're ticker. You're OVER half way on your journey now, well done!

Thank you I'm still a little unsure of my goal so don't quite know how far along, but still, it looks good and it'll probably be around that figure I guess (note to self - get on with sorting goal to maintain focus!). As for the willpower, well, having had a week off at Christmas and feeling so very bad from eating carbs and so amazing from not, it makes it all much easier to stay with the plan . Don't think I'll risk mixing a shake on the plane though, in case it provokes an emergency response!!

Shakes on a Plane could be a blockbuster!
