Hey Hellion,

I forgot to add that in making a blended shake, you get best results when you add the dry powdered ingredients after the blender had brought the liquid up to speed. This way, you will not get any lumps, but the other way almost guarantees that you will.

I keep a small bowl near the blender and measure all my dry ingredients into that. When the blender is up to speed, I rapidly pour the contents of the bowl into it and give it 4 seconds of blending.

More blending time also equals more air entrained in the shake, and that air could cause discomfort later.

Warm regards,

Bart
