what to add to make shake thick...

[TheBigDog]

I just purchased a 7lb tub of ISP Premium MRP and I am still used to Myoplex's thickness. Can somebody tell me what to add to the shake to make it THICKER?

thanks in advance.

xanthan gum

Less water or milk and fruit like bananas and berries.

I added half a cup of low fat yogurt and it was still pretty runny...

It is a fiber. I get mine at my local whole food store. Works EXTREMELY well. experiment with amounts to your desired consistancy. Start slowly, it doesnt take a lot. I like VERY thick shakes (I eat them with a spoon) and I only use btwn .25-.5 tspns per shake.

Whats up RU, the freezer shakes are on point, I love that when I have time.

For those that don't know RU and I are practically the consumer reports for thick shakes. For a while (when I was posting on the boards more) we used to review shakes based on thickness over PM.

have you ever tried ISP Premium MRP??

again.. add more ICE, it works.

Xanthan gum all the way.

Im also gonna give arrow root powder a try, its even cheaper than xanthan and supposed to be a good thickener.

 

[TheBigDog]

bought a pack of xanthan gum, a little 8 oz bag for 12 bucks...kinda spendy in my opinion. works like a charm though.

thx y'all.

well depending on what flaovor it is, if u can mix it with peanut butter that will thinken it up for you, as long the peanut butter fits in ur diet

 

[fiz]

ice works like a charm.. makes it nice and thick.. cold too

 

[TheBigDog]

Xanthan Gum works like a charm and I only use a little bit to archieve the viscosity that I desire. I have noticed it is also used in Myoplex Deluxe.

How about some powdered milk?

 

[anthrax]

xanthan
guam gum
arrow root
alinates and carraghenanes
agar-agar

 

[tsarleon]

ya ICE

 

[rippedup]

agar-agar

I've tried it. It doesn't work..
I think it needs to be used with hot water.

sure !

you have to disolve agar-agar in hot (almost boiling) water

when it cools down it make your shake thicker
