DSD's Protein Hair Shake

DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

I am trying to maximize my hair growth rate by increasing my protein intake. I am currently getting anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 inches per month.

Well, I recently tried to boost up my protein intake by drinking protein shakes and I couldn't believe how nasty those things taste. So I came up with my own protein hair shake.
Not for those who are lactose intolerant.

This shake includes approx. 15 grams of protein.

1/2 cup of icecream just about any flavor will do(vanilla choc. or straw.)
1 cup of milk
3 tablespoons of malted milk

Mix all of the ingredients together and enjoy.

It may not be extremely high in proein but I would rather intake lower protein with a better taste than higher protein that is not drinkable at all!

The only difference is my shake doesn't contain all of the extra vits. But I take enough vits as it is without the added extra in a shake!

LMAO... hey, u just might be onto something

I'm going to stop by GNC and see about getting the powder myself. Which one did you buy - so i can avoid?

I tried the Walgreen's brand. They had it on sell and I couldn't resist. Especially since it had 25 grams of protein per serving.

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

This is one of my New Years Resolutions, to get more protein in my diet. I'm opting for 2 shakes per day. Once in the morning, and one again with dinner.

Wow! I LIKE your version, DSD!

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much I can do to speed up my hair's turtle-like pace.

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

I recently purchased Isopure Zero Carb after reading some good reviews on this board. One shake has 50g of protein. I got vanilla flavor from Vitaminshoppe for $35. It tastes good on it's own. But I add a few frozen strawberries and mango chunks to mine. Yesterday I tried it with cocoa powder.

I also plan to try it with one of the General Foods Int'l Flavored Coffees.

I'm scurred to try it! If I do decide to I will let you all know how I like it. At least at the Vitamin Shoppe you can returm items for a store credit.

50 grams of protein in nearly 1/2 of what I am trying to get in daily intake. I want to intake about 120 grams per day.

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

Whoops! I meant to reply that this recipe is very similar to the smoothie that I make every morning for breakfast:

A favorite juice
Soy or skim milk
Crushed Ice
A banana
GenSoy soy protein powder (1 scoop has 25 grams of protein.)

Blend until smooth and creamy. These are quite tasty IMO.

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

Hey Denali...I use the same protein shake! I have some every morning....it does taste good. I've actually started looking forward to drinking it when I get up...

Hugs,
Crys

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

I am still hanging in with my GNC Optimum Whey Vanilla Ice
cream protein shake it contains 23gms of protein per scoop.
I drink it twice a day with skim milk which has 9gms of
protein.
Taste is not all that great my I get good results.

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

Make sure you drink more water if you increase your protein... your kidneys will thank you.

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake

I used GNC 100% Whey Protein in chocolate... It's good by itself, but I do have a little recipe:

1 cup Non-fat milk
1 heaping scoop of 100% Whey Protein (21g protein;5 carbs;120 calories)
3 ice cubes
4 tsp Int'l Coffee Hazlenut

blend it up and put it in a tall glass...Oh I also add my MSM, L-Cystein, and other caplets. I do two of these per day (sometimes) and I'd like to combine it with a meal replacement shake...

GNC 100% Whey Protein

Re: DSD\'s Protein Hair Shake
