Getting Started: How to Make the Perfect Shake

To make great tasting shakes, follow the instructions below.
  1. Pour liquid in first. (8 oz. of skim, light soy milk, or juice). If using fruit in your shake, use 6 oz. of liquid.
  2. Add fruit
  3. Add flavorings and extracts (sugar free/fat free puddings, sugar free syrups, extracts).
  4. Then add 1/2 cup of ice. You may need to adjust this amount depending on the size of your ice cubes.
  5. Start blending. Shake should swirl, not bounce. If bouncing, add more ice.
  6. Once it has blended smooth and is the desired thickness; add 2 scoops of shake mix (while it's blending so powder doesn't stick to sides. Keep it blending until finishing all the ingredients).
  7. Add any fiber or aloe
  8. Add desired amount of protein. You must add protein last because if you over blend the protein, the taste will be distorted and it will get very fluffy. About 10-15 seconds will do it.
  9. Enjoy!
