How to make a protein shake thicker?
We recommend adding more frozen fruit, but ice is an option too if you want your shake thicker.
Why does my protein shake taste chalky?
The reason your protein smoothie tastes chalky is likely because of the protein powder you used. I prefer a whey protein because it’s commonly less chalky. I’ve also had really great success using collagen powder, too.
