What makes it shaky?

[xshepx]

Ok here comes a really dumb question: What makes a shake thick and "shaky"? I have probably only ever had like 3 shakes in my entire life. I have the whey powder and know what stuff I want to put in it. But my problem is, I have never made one before and have no idea what the secret "thick yet drinkable" ingrediant is. Is it milk maybe?

Also, I have slowly built up my tolerance to milk over the past 10 years. I used to be very allergic but now I can eat a bowl of cereal with milk and a glass of milk and eat a good ammount of cheese without any reaction. I think I should be ok with the whey but I want to give it a month before I add dextrose and/or maltowhatever to it. Believe it or not I was allergic to artifical red food coloring until I was about 8 or 9.

I've found that adding cottage cheese and some ice to it makes it nice and "milkshake" like.

for me it is the opposite, the more watery, the better... I just want to drink it fast and be done with it... I only have one shake/day (PWO) and it is so sweet it is almost sickening!

For me the less water the better, Ill put like 4 oz of water with 2 scoops of whey. It makes it very thick and "shakey" and I actually quite enjoy the taste.

I cant stand the taste of my whey protein, its strawberry favour. I really don't like drinking it, i may start making smooties instead to disguise the taste.

I use Ice to make my smooties thick.

A little bit of water and mix it in the blender. Then add some ice and chop it up and it makes it nice and thick. I find if you throw the ice in right away all of the powder wont dissolve. Also if you through some fruit in there it will thicken it up and add some simple sugars.
