The other day me and a friend worked out together at his home.    After every workout I like to drink a protein drink, as everyone should in a body building program.   My friend drinks protein drinks also but uses the classic liquid and powder and then stirring with a spoon.

If that’s how he wants to do it that’s fine I mean who doesn’t like a tasteless drink with almost no consistency except for the chunks of powder that did not mix.  YUK!

Personally I would rather use whatever liquid (soy milk, water, juice, etc.) with some frozen or fresh fruit, and anything else I want to add for taste and nutritional value, and pop all that in a blender and be done within seconds and save myself from carpel tunnel syndrome.

So I made him a real shake in the blender and he said it was great and he knew how to do all that but it was such a pain taking the blender apart so he can clean it after each use.    It should be cleaned otherwise you get all that hard food stuck in the cracks and crevices (again, YUK!).

The good news is there’s an easier way to clean your blender, and it only takes seconds.   Immediately after use just fill it halfway with water and put a drop of dish washing liquid in it.   Put the top back on it and stick it on the base and put it on “blend”.   It will fill up with suds in less than one second.  Turn it off pull off the top pour it our and then rinse it with water.  Dry it out with a towel and you are done.

Needless to say my friend was thrilled.

Enjoy your protein drinks again.

God Bless,

Mike
