As part of my adoption of the Slow Carb Diet, one of the guidelines is to eat 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. It's a tall order, especially with a baby to take care of and feed as well. So I'm turning to protein shakes to help with this one.
I picked up this Bluebonnet 100% Natural Whey Protein Isolate Powder at my local Sprouts supermarket (it was on sale!). I got the "natural original flavor". 26 grams of protein in each serving!
It's terrible.
It's supposed to blend easily, but it doesn't for me. I put my cold water in my cup, add the powder, and then shake for 5-10 seconds. I get a lot of foam at the top, and still have clumps of powder in there too. I really try to chug this as fast as I can, and still end up almost gagging about it. It's really unpleasant. I've tried other protein powders in the past, and this one is terrible. I will not be buying it again!

Like you, I also love taking whey protein. Mine is in a fruit shake form so that it can somewhat get rid of the awful taste of the whey. I learned this from my gym instructor. Now I'm enjoying the benefits of whey protein from this easy to do recipe.
