Question:
How can you get rid of the bubbles in the protein shake that is made in a blender?
I find before surgery when I make them that they make me burp and that can be painful after this type or any type surgery. — geneswife (posted on February 22, 2006)

You could try a shaker cup instead of the blender. If you still want to
use the blender you could try the following. After blending the shake and
pouring it into a cup, let it stand for a few minutes. Skim off the foam
that accumulates on the top. If you are concerned about the protein
settling on the bottom of the cup, gently use a spoon to mix it back up.
Another note - sometimes I find more foam in the fruit flavors rather than
the chocolate. I also find that what you use to mix the protein shake is
can cause more foaming. Good luck.

try using a hand shaker or after pouring into a cup use a spoon to take out
the foam...I switched to matrix 5 which only requires 4 ozs of liquid and
the chocolate kind tastes like yooho.

I find that letting it sit in the fridge for a while lets the foam settle.
Then just mix it up a little with a spoon before drinking.

The protein powder itself can make the shake really bubbly. I think you
should take the other advice and add this. Yes, make the shake WITHOUT the
protein powder and then let it sit a bit in the fridge, then stir in the
protein powder. I think you will have much better results. Good luck!

let it sit for a minute....if you're like me and NEED the blender because
of texture, try using "Pulse" instead of blend. Takes longer but
less bubbles

Which protein are you using? The isolates really get a "head" on
them. I have never used a regular blender in 12 yrs. I use a hand
blender, Magic BUllet or shaker cup (depends on what I'm doing), and they
all have fewer bubbles. A freind made my fave for me in a blender and I
thought I'd explode. I FEEL your pain!

I found the same thing happening to me. I now use a whisk to blend my
protein drinks and it works great.
