Tips

  • A whey and casein blend makes the thickest shake. Plant protein works but turns out grainier.
  • Taste the base before freezing. If your shake and powder are lightly sweetened, blend in 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener.
  • For even more protein, use more of the protein shake in place of the milk at the shake step.

Why it works

Protein and xanthan gum thicken the base and hold on to water, so the Milkshake program turns it creamy and thick with very little sugar or fat.
