Notes
- Blend in Stages: To ensure a smooth and creamy consistency, start with the liquid base, then add protein powder, followed by fruits, nut butter, or other ingredients.
- Use Frozen Fruit: Use frozen fruits instead of fresh ones. They add a refreshing chill and also contribute to the creamy texture of the shake without the need for ice.
- Adjust Liquid Ratio: The amount of liquid you add to your shake can significantly affect its texture. Start with the recommended amount and adjust according to your preference.
- Prep Ahead: You can pre-measure your protein powder, cut up fruits, and store them in individual containers or freezer bags for quick and convenient blending.
- Avoid Adding Chia Seeds for Later Consumption: Chia seeds have a tendency to absorb liquid and gel over time, which can result in a thick and pudding-like texture if left to sit.
