Putting whey protein in a blender?

Has anyone heard anything about not putting your whey protein powder (with milk or water, or whatever you add to it) in a blender due to the blender changing the the efficacy of the whey proteins? I think I remember hearing this in one of my nutritional consultations. Would like to hear what anyone has to say about it. Thanks!

No one has ever told me anything like that. I use my Magic Bullet for all of my shakes.

That is what everyone else has said also, and I actually just ordered the magic bullet last week with the intention of definitely putting my shake in it! I like smooth shakes with no lumps. It makes me nauseous when I can taste the powder.

I would like to know if blending has an effect on it. I cant imagine why it would? but it would be good to know. I have the Magic Bullet too - love it. Easy to use and easy to clean! :)

The protein starts breaking down as soon as you mix up the shake, blender or no blender. This why you shouldn't mix up your shakes ahead of time and put them in the fridge. But you can blend them just fine. Just drink them right after.

I use the Blender Bottle available at Amazon or GNC and it works great. No lumps. It is just a plastic bottle with a little wire whip metal ball that really breaks up any lumps. I love it!

Ok I don't doubt this to be true. What about the already premixed/bottled/ready-to-drink shakes? Do they have broken down protien? Just curious.

There are Protein Powders that are protein isolates...I use the Unjury product. It mixes well, is not affected by anything..except heat...not to be used in anything warm stuff over 130 degrees. Supposedly, the isolates are more beneficial medically than the whey. Dunno, but I just found the Unjury to agree with me and taste buds. You can even put a scoop of it in milk and stir with a spoon. It's cool.

I just bought a magic bullet but have not mastered the protein drink recipies. do you have any good ones?

Thread Starter

Recently I have been just mixing my chocolate powder (Unjury...I love it!) with a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter and super skim (or skim if I cant find super skim) milk. I haven't gotten tired of it yet. Once I mixed lite cocunut milk with vanilla protein powder and milk. That was pretty good.

Here is a thread with a lot of protein shake recipes: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/200-p...recipes-49774/ Its really great, I can't wait to try the pumpkin one (the first one I think).

What is a magic bullet? Where do you get them? It sounds like some type of blender.

Its a small blender - you blend the drinks in the actual cup.

Walmart.com: The Original Magic Bullet Express Blender/Mixer System: Appliances

I just wish you could buy extra cups and colored rings.

I love mine, had it for over a year...but I think a seal or something has busted. Now when I blend the drinks, the drink actually spills out and its a mess. I'll just have to break down and buy another one.
