Who can remember when a blender was required to make a protein shake?
jasonhVitamix are easy to find used . got mine at thrift store for 20 bucks apsolutly love it. o ring seals and parts can be ordered on line from vitamix
Holy shit....a Vitamix for $20 at a thrift store???
That's like finding a 69 Chevelle in some old farmer's barn for $500.
FELLAS....I'm going to give you a little piece of advice, and if you take it, it will be the best thing you'll ever do.
GO GET A VITAMIX..... I couldn't survive without mine, and I don't care WHAT you put in it, it will liquify anything. I do about 3 vitamix shakes a day in between meals, and it allows me to eat shit I would NEVER eat otherwise..like cabbage, carrots, broccoli, blueberries, strawberries, squash, spinach leaves...etc..... I throw a little of each in the Vitamix and add some whey protein and I've got the perfect meal in seconds. Next to the weights, it's my most valuable piece of equipment. A FUCKING BLENDER ON STEROIDS!!
They run about $400, but they are worth it. Grrl and I bought 2, because she takes one with her when she goes out of town on business.
Check this link and video:

dude, ive been thinking about this for awhile but dammit 400 buckeroos. Christmas is over bra, and im on a limited budget. how about you sell me one of yours used sense you have two, discounted say 75% sound good?
If I had to pick between my gear and my Vitamix, I'd give up the gear..lol
There is just no way I could bring myself to eat squash, broccoli, and peppers 3 times a day. But those are super-foods. They are cancer-fighting and they keep you young. Blueberries, strawberries etc...any vegies or fruit that are BRIGHT COLORS are what you want.
i would have to say this is one of the best tips i have received all this year. the super foods i am definitely missing out on, need to bring them back like never before.
Thanks for posting this..... i'm gonna get one for me and my girl!!!!
tread-mShould have been around before the blender, we had sticks!
Sticks? That's so primative! We used to have 3 of the elder women in the tribe gumm on it for 30 min and spit it back in the bowl, then we rubbed the paste or our apple sack and let it absorb in....... Wait that was for crabs! As you were!
tread-mLmao! Thats funny as hell! Yeah I saw some of that on some shit I watched one night and the visitors from the tv show had to drink it to keep from "offending" the tribe. I will guarantee you the Fing tribe would have been offended that day if I were present! These damn 10 women had 3 teeth among them! I mean hell if it was the Dallas cheerleaders, fine, mix me up a bowl and sit on my lap and spoon feed me, I would even help with my sticks! (And my kickstand)
lol... YOU WERE AROUND BEFORE STICKS.
tread-mYeah but I remember the day the sticks showed up, what a glorious day it was!
tread-mDp so let me also say..."And we liked it that way ! "
I bought some GNC brand protein about 10 yrs ago and it was soo bad I puked it back up a few times. It had a horrible bitter after taste and I paid $50 + tax for 3 pounds and another $30 + tax for 300 grams of fishy smelling cratine, it tasted like shit too and was extreamly gritty.
AnonThings have improved allot in the last ten for sure.
AnonyGirl at the supp store asked if I needed any pre or post workout drinks. I felt like spiking her with 200mgs of Prop.
AnonStill not real big on the hyped up BS products that make high dollar piss. Protein powder is one supp that has come a long way.
? What r u supposed to use?
AnonI just started protein powder again this year. All solid food last 10 years.
JtizzleFirst thing I remember about supps were amino tabs the size of a matchbook and my older buddy making me swallowing 4 of them before working out with him.. (no homo)
AnonWe used to take the crystals by the spoon and train. What a sad joke that was.
Definitely, throwing eggs and icecream in there to get the protein and calories up. Still couldn't gain weight :-) Ah, the good old days.
AnonI used to drink cream for calories and eat peanuts. Some low tech shit there....lol
TxBigBoyI eat string cheese like it's going out of style! shit adds up after the 3rd one.
AnonProtein powder back in the wouldn't mix, just dry clumps without a blender. I also remember when chocolate flavor first hit the scene.
TxBigBoyShit there's still some cheap shit out there that doesn't mix. I've tried a lot of different brands and some it's almost better to just eat it dry with a spoon straight out tha bucket!
I saw a you tube video with a guy mixed a whole jar of protein powder in a bowl with enough water to make it like cake batter and ate the whole thing. I think he said it was like 900 gms of protein. I pity who cleans that bathroom!
TxBigBoyMan that's intense!
AnonCammando!!!
I remember the old GNC branded stuff gave me horrible gas and diarrhea. And yes, it didn't mix well even when blended.
AnonYikes man......that's the worst shit ever!
AnonI am glad I am so fucking old I can't remember that or much of anything.
I've forgotten more than most people know.
AnonTuna and peanut butter Bro. Been there done that too :-(
