Do you Blend or Shake?

[TheFugitive]

When it comes to mixing your protein powder, do you blend, shake or other?

[TheFugitive]

I blend 90% of the time

[NEBinAK]

Depends on what I'm doing, if just milk or water just shake

But often I throw in oats and coconut flakes in that case I blend

[ecxtimmy]

Shake.

[cr357]

Blend 95% of the time.... don't like the taste of shaken.

[klaximilian]

Shake if it's just for a simple and quick drink. Blend if I want something that tastes better or provides more than just protein.

50/50.

[BlueRev]

Depends. Later stage of cut I use shake a lot.

But normally I blend 95% of time.
Use magic bullet or my ninja pro

[irmocool]

I actually stir

Blending makes a huge difference in terms of flavor and texture

Shake unless I'm adding pb, fruit, oats, etc

Quality proteins will dissolve when shaken. Blender bottle for the win.

Blending whips the powder and expands it into a fluffy tasty milk shake type of drink that will satisfy almost every protein drinker <WOW!

3oz milk, 3oz water and 2 ice cubes <Fugitive ratio

See here is where my thought process on that is though.
No matter the blender, After a year or two, It's junk.

I have found that replacing the Magic bullet ($35) once a year no matter what, beats Nutri bullet $100 once a year.
The ninja was a gift, Works awesome but is loud..

I think I might try that with my more stubborn proteins. Thanks.

[RunningTall]

Shake, rattle and roll

[extremenergy3]

Blender bottle. Chug it.

Blendtec blender with 4 ice cubes; 4-5 seconds turns the cubes to snow. Then I add 4-8 ounces of unsweetened almond milk, a scoop of powder, maybe half a cup of Greek yogurt (depends on the smoothie), maybe some extra guar/xanthan gum, maybe some extra sweetener or fruit; then blend it all for another 30-40 seconds. End result is a thick, creamy, fluffy masterpiece that I joyously eat with a spoon every time.

The blender was expensive as hell, but totally worth it--between my wife and I, we've used the thing more than 1000 times in the little over a year we've had it (this particular model gives you a count when it starts up).

Now, whenever I'm traveling or otherwise separated from the blender, I end up missing it almost immediately. Shaken or stirred smoothies are absolutely awful compared to well-blended ones. Even with the same powder, not having the air and snow whipped in just makes it taste wrong.

[PraveerD]

I blend most of the time but shake when in hurry.

[TheFugitive]

Best blender on the market for the price. 600 watts of power, ice cubes turn into snow

[Neceseco]

i shake it with water mainly

[Misctake7]

I do both every day. Don't have time to cook breakfast so I throw together a shake in the blender with ice cubes and drink on the way to work.

Hand shaken shake an hour-hour and a half prior to the gym as a quick snack.

Usually blend a shake with ice cubes prior to bed if I'm hungry before bed.



Do you that use blenders always use ice cubes or do you sometimes just blend for mixing the powder and water/milk? I haven't used the blender for just mixing the powder and milk yet.

I always add ice cubes when blending, it helps with the consistency

Shake almost all the time just because of convenience

[AlecGaspari]

and by shake, I mean jiggle

Shake (almost) always. Though this morning I did make a Vega smoothie in the blender. Was delish.

[beyond09]

Shake it! Way faster and less clean up than blending.

[misfit28]

Shake almost 100% of the time, as I usually don't have a shake until I get to the office.

[MattPercy1991]

I just shake
