This isn't quite a direct answer, but it does address the frothiness. I find that smoothies come out too frothy if I use any dairy other than non-fat. I've found the best solution to be rice-milk and a few spoonfuls of non-fat yogurt. I'm not sure what kind of protein I use in them... my local health food store has something branded with their name on it, so you'd only find it by name if you're from my town. Anyway, it is a vanilla flavored whey protein. I don't notice a frothiness change if I don't use it.

True. There is no whey anyone could be whey too knowledgeable about the wheys in which whey may be beneficial in some whey. If you whey the pros and cons, you'll see that whey is the whey to go.

No whey!

My protein shakes are made from fat free milk, eggs, yogurt, bananas and vanilla.

The tangents are moot.

Wait, I think I figured it out. I just ran 9 miles. Easy on hills. I went to get a frothy drink that contains protein (and carbs) and a certain je ne sais quoi. You folks are right, it is doing wonders. I feel great, nearly recovered. Very frothy. Very refreshing. But I still can't figure out why you'd want to blend it.

oatmeal stout...my favorite....can I get that on a nitro tap? Its a little less frothy that way

I use Optimum Nutrion's 100% Whey Gold Standard. It cost a bit more, but it's worth it. It mixes easily - no blender. It tastes good too. I usually mix mine about 30 minutes before I'm ready to drink it, and shake it up every 10-15 minutes for good measure. Then it's like chocolate milk.

I totally agree with this brand. I have the Mint Choc one, and it's really yummy. Especially when you blend it with bananas, peanut butter, and soy milk.. Clowning around

It's being creative." - prefontaine

ON 100% Whey Gold Standard is a very good quality protein with a high percentage of whey isolate/peptides but not the best out there. It still says Whey Concentrate in label. Whenever that is listed it means dilution. The CFM Proteins are the best quality and more expensive but I think a bit less expensive than what you are paying for the ON. Pro Source has an excellent CFM brand as does Integrated Supplements which has no artificial sweetners in their Whey Isolate formula. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/integrated/wheyprotein.html http://www.integratedsupplements.com/intsup/intsup0002.qandaarticles?p_pid_c=&p_article=WHEYPROTEIN http://www.integratedsupplements.com/intsup/intsup0002.qandaarticles?p_pid_c=&p_article=SUCRALOSE http://www.prosource.net/product.jsp?path=-1|6477&id=11518

Good to know! I have the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and it's pretty damn tasty.

I use ON Gold. It's top notch. But I also use Met-Rx packets as a meal replacement when I need to. They are more vitamin dense then just whey powder and also have casein protein which is slower digesting than whey. EAS Myoplex is the same. If you're into protein supplementation, and I know all of you are not, here is something that I learned from bodybuilders: Take in some whey with casein protein before bedtime so you have protein available all night to repair muscle damage. Whey is very fast digesting (~45 minutes), whereas Casein takes up to 6 hours. And BTW, milk is a blend of both casein (82%) and whey (18%). My last run of the day is usually at 7 or 7:30. By the time I get home, shower, lay out tomorrow's clothes, and make my lunch it's about 8:45. I typically go to bed at 9 and I rarely want to eat a big meal that late, especially if I ran hard. On more days than not, I have a 1/2 pack of Met-Rx in skim milk and call it a day.

More importantly, are the eggs raw?

Honestly, my stomach does not want 'real' food after a hard or long run. Liquids are much easier for me to get down. But I promise I eat my fruit and veggies during the day!
