Syntrex

Today is the first day of my liquid pre-op diet and, even though I have a shake I really love, I decided to try some of the Syntrex powder I had ordered.  I mixed it as I normally do my other shakes - 8 ounces of liquid, powder, shake up super well in a blender bottle and OH MY GOSH there is so much foam!!  Probably 4-5x as much as I get with my normal shakes.  I was not expecting that.  So now it's sitting in my fridge waiting for the foam to subside... 

How much liquid do you mix your Syntrex shakes with?  I used 8oz of water, but I have a feeling that's going to be way too strong for me.  :/  I'm trying the Roadside Lemonade.  

 You can avoid the foam by not putting it in a blender bottle. I make mine in a glass and stir it...it dissolves rather easily and produces no foam.  When I mix Roadside Lemonade (as I will be doing in 20 mins when I head to pilates :-) I mix 1 scoop with 16 ounces of water and a bunch of ice cubes. I find it tastes better diluted.

I'll give the stirring thing a go, thanks!  I already dilute the CL lemonade I drink, so it seems totally plausible that I'd need to dilute this stuff as well.  

The ones that aren't fruity like the chocolate  I put one scoop of powder, 8 oz water and 8 oz of skim milk or almond milk.

I mix mine with an immersion blender and get no foam. I hear that if you make sure your shaker bottle is completely full you will get no or at least a lot less foam.

I either mix mine with a fork in a Tervis glass. I always do a minimum of 12 oz but usually 16 oz. I never get foam.  I sometimes blend my protein mix, water and a few ice cubes in my Vitamix.  My Vitamix whirls it so fast that it literally turns it into a creamy protein ice cream.  Yummy!  Nice change of pace. 

I usually do 10-12oz and 4-5 ice cubes.  I shake in a blender bottle too and just let it sit a few minutes. Even if i drink it while there's still foam, i don't usually get any the way i drink it. 

I use 8-12 ounces of water and shake it up in a coffee go-cup. They're smaller than a blender bottle so they don't foam us as much as in a blender bottle. I set my go-cup ni the fridge for 30-60 min and that takes care of the foam. If I need the protein drink immediately I just stir it up with a teaspoon and add ice.

I have a 20 oz blender bottle...instead of the common ones and I don't notice that much foam with 8oz almond milk
