Kylie/Frus - I'm tempted to give this a try because I know I never eat enough protein since I hate cheese, eggs, meat etc - I try and get sufficient from cereal, nuts and pulses, but it can get a bit boring.

My question - how many grams of protein would an 85 cal scoop provide if it was mixed with skimmed milk?

Thanks in advance,

Janey

Can you mix the protein power with anything except milk?

I quite fancy the idea of a protein heavy snack but can't stand the taste of milk (except in frappucinos, strangely!)

I also have smoothies for breakfast sometimes in the summer- can you chuck some in that?

You've never met me. I've just managed to fart for 90 minutes solid throughout yoga :o

I think I eat too many beans ;)

Thanks for the heads up about the H & B protein powder. Last time I bought it (different brand) it cost me 24.99 for a tub.

I've been a big fan of protein powder since I did South Beach last summer. I realised I need a lot of protein at breakfast to keep me full.

You can throw it into your smoothie mix, yes. I do that sometimes.

And to answer about WW points, the powder I use is 1 point, so you add that to however much milk and fruit you add too.

I tend to have vanilla protein powder with water and a half teaspoon of cocoa in the winter, and with fruit in the summer.

Eeewww YP :p hope you were on your own :eek:

Clareh..I tried making protein shakes just with water..they were :p then I found that if I add a load of ice cubes and throw it in the blender I get a nice thick frothy "milkshake" :T not done it for months though :dunno: its a bit too cold :lol:

Janey..they all differ but it will say in the nutritional info on the label..the skimmed milk will add about 9g per cup/250ml.

1 scoop = 19g of protein approx

I usually mix mine with milk to make a nice smoothie, or bake with it, or somethimes put it in porridge, but I usually mix it up with milk for a "meal" post kickboxing

Hi,
Im looking to buy some protein powder for muscle repair as I have a shin splint :( but went on the H&B website and cant quite decipher which one you guys are talking about, can you tell me which brand it is you use?
Thanks

Something like Precision Engineered Whey Protein :dunno:

Ooops..got mine out of the cupboard yesterday and one of them expired last November :eek: won't kill me will it? think it had about 18mths on it when I bought it :rofl: told you it had been a long time :dunno: rest are good until May I think so i'd better get using them ;)

It's called Body Fortress Precision Engineered Whey Protein. It's a huge tub!!!

I doubt out of date protein powder would kill you Cat, but if it does, don't blame me!!!

Is it possible to drink too many protein shakes in a day? How many do ya'll have a day? I had 3 today and think its too many. Was thinking of having about 2?

Is it good for you? Or at least not bad. All my friends keep telling me its bad. I dont do overly heavy weights, but i do them 4 times a week and my cardio is swimming 2 hrs a day if possible. Any help is welcomed :)

I would only have one day personally, and get the rest of my protein from other sources. meat, eggs, legumes have other important vitamins and minerals that you won't get from shakes.

I only have one a day too.

They're not bad for you but they're not the BEST source of protein, they are just a convenient source of protein. I usually have them when I need a meal away from home (which is just about every day!)
