Not quite shakes, but I’m getting better at making “protein pudding” quick from scratch. One scoop Metabolic Drive, a little less than one Tablespoon peanut butter, and I’m still working on eyeballing the water to get the right consistency. Sometimes I’ll fork-smash a banana in the bowl first, then add the same other ingredients.[/quote]
Similarly, 1-2 cup of thick-ish Greek yogurt (eg. Fage, Chobani, etc). A scoop of protein, 1 heaping TSP of pb.
Just keep stirring and eventually it will smooth out into a thick mousse texture. If it’s too thick you can add a tsp of water until it gets to the consistency you want.

Dooood, add a teaspoon of water? Are you sure about that? I don’t want my shake getting too watery.[/quote]
SS strikes again with a true LOL moment of mirth.[/quote]
Aww, shucks. It wasn’t meant to be a shske, but a mousse/pudding. See USMC’s subseqent post.

Not a shake, but this is my new favorite snake. [/quote]
How many snakes do you consume?

I would say I eat more snack than actual meals. Like right now, I’m eating a tuna packet (first meal today). It’s 180 calories, 39p, 3c, 1.5g fat. In about an hour I’ll eat an apple w/peanut butter. At around 1ish I’ll be eating grilled chicken. The snake in the pic I’ll eat around 4, anaconda starts at 5, MAG-10 around 7, dinner at 8.

I’ve never seen quar gum at the store. Where do I find it? Do you order it? Buy it at a natural foods store?
I usually make a shake that’s about 4 cups after blended. Thick, eaten with a spoon. About how much quar gum do I need?

a local owned natural foods / meat store here in northern cali has it, have not seen it anywhere else. i got lucky, i figured this particular hippy joint would have it, was the first place i looked, and bingo.
Put all ingredients into a blender w/ water or milk or whatever. Blend for about 15-20 seconds. Then add ice slowly - I like to add about 1-2 handfuls total. Blend until all the ice is mixed in well.
The guar gum is pure fiber, and it makes the shake thick like a milkshake. GREAT for fullness and satisfaction, and it really really improves the texture. I sometimes only have shakes all day when busy, and the fiber helps keep me full. You can get it online or at Whole Foods (serach for Bob’s red mill products)[/quote]

im gonna try the guar gum idea tonight. [/quote]
How did this go HT.I love my Metabolic Drive shakes thick and use a good deal of ice for this reason.But as others have said you gotta get the right amount of ice.If to much you have yourself an ice shake,which sucks.[/quote]
Note to all,watch your amount of guar gum you use.It does work i turned my protein drink into pudding haha.Ya you only need a little.[/quote]
Like HT said i picked mine at a local health food store as well.I used a TBLspoon the first time and that’s when i had pudding.Next time a heavy tea spoon and it was good.This was for about 5cups water and ice as well.
Powerpuff - i feel you. the stuff is AWESOME. how else can 150 cals be filling? lol! 1 scoop whey and 1/2-1 tbsp guar gum and you’re good to go. I actually started having too much and was racking up like 75-100g fiber throughout the day and was getting so bloated that I couldn’t move. Watch out for that lol

Ha! Thanks for the warning. I’m going to pick some up next time I’m over at Wholefoods. I already put a teaspoon or two of psyllium husk in my morning shake. Sounds like psyllium plus guar gum might cause some G.I. distress… fiber overkill.
HeavyThrower - Is your wife still killin’ it with the trap bar?
Powdered peanut butter is the shit. I’ll also throw a raw egg (I heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds to help kill bacteria) and mix it in a shake with shipping cream. If you try a shake with raw eggs, it makes a huge difference.
