Let's settle this once and for all

I, an intellectual, always use the sandwich method
>>
>>76649803
same honestly
>>
>>76649798
how is this even a debate
basic method displaces the powder nicely once the liquid hits it, either way youre gonna shake it up regardless, but the basic does the job, theres no inherent benefit the other 2 provide over the basic, though the floater is just brain dead and shouldnt even be in question
>>
>>76649808
sandwich prevents clumping at the bottom because the layer of liquid
>>
>>76649811
how much protein powder are you stuffing in for there to be "clumping", how fucking long after the initial pour are you drinking your shakes? 3 hours? the fuck anon

it forms these very annoying pockets of dry powder at the bottom
>>
>>76649817
are you not shaking the bottle like it owes you money, I've never seen anything remotely clumpy, does your bottle not have those little metal springy coil things inside to help break up the powder
>>
>>76649811
>>76649814
>>76649817
>>76649822
It depends on what brand/type of protein you are using. Some of them do indeed clump at the bottom, even if you shake it like a madlad.
>>
>>76649822
>those little metal springy coil things
whats that
>>
>>76649828
Some shaker cups have a metal ball inside that helps with mixing. It makes a pretty big difference when you have a protein powder that clumps at the bottom, but it's also an extremely effective way of scraping (estrogenic/carcinogenic) plastic of the inside of your cup and ingesting a ton of it.
>>
>>76649798
Basic if cup is dry
Sandwich if cup is wet
>>
>>76649844
oh i see a shaker ball, nah mine just have the top net thing

i was literally imagining like small spikes down in the cup itself

>HER DER CLUMPING!
>CLUMPING CLUMPING!

holy shit you guys are retarded
if you are having that much trouble just use a strainer to sift it
>>
>>76649857
My friend, you are the retard here. Clumping of protein powder has absolutely nothing to do with actual lump in the powder. In fact, finer powder tends to clump more.
>>
>>76649798
It doesn't matter. You just blend it
>>
Superior way coming through.
Milk frother.

You'll be slurping in that frothy smooth protein milk like you're a whore in ancient babylon.
Shit turns out fucking amazing.

>>
>>76649811

I take my shakes in a mug and i stirr it with a teaspoon. I just make sure to scrap the bottom when im stirring it.
>>

>"the bri-ish"

I do the floater because it's easier to measure out the liquid. for the powder I have a scoop
>>
>>
>>76649798
I break up a banana first, then powder (maybe peanut butter too for taste) then liquid (water - milk makes me too phlegmy )

Rich Piana already settled this more than a decade ago: put the water in first

Doesn't matter, I'll shake it all loose. My arm was already an industrial-grade paint shaking machine at 13 years of age after years of gradual progression with that movement. Great carry-over exercise.
>>
>>76649798
I eat the powder raw directly from the box.
>>
>>76649798
The basic gets lumps
The sandwich is unnecessary
The floater is the best option

Straight luddite niggas. Tell me Abraham, how many barns did you and Jedidiah raise this week?
>>
I use a superior method called a blender. This also lets me add ice or frozen fruit which is amazing.
>>
>>76649798
Anyone that's been making shakes for a long time does the sandwich method
>>
i put it in a cup and stir it with a fork (sandwich method)
it's pretty sad that you gullible marks bought a separate piece of equipment to mix some powder and liquid.
consumerist cattle...
>>
>>76649798
2 and 3 are the same after shaking.
1 will get clumps at the bottom
2 is faster to setup than 3 so 2 is the way to go
>>
>>76649798
The floater is the only way ive seen thst doesn't cause clumping and caling of the protein at the bottom. The sandwich method may prevent the vlumping at the bottom but invariably when I wet the top of the protein it makes a cake at the lip of the protein shake in the lid. The floater is the way to go to prevent both issues.

>all these autists
Different powders, different results, doofuses. Some powders are far more prone to clumping. If it's that big a deal to you, use the whisk ball it comes with.
>>76649885
Definitely works but it's just one more thing to clean and store, which is why a lot of people just toss the whisk ball in the first place.
>>76650086
Floater with some powders gets clumps stuck as a ring or sometimes even as a clump in the lid.

Basic is objectively ass. You have to shake it hard for fifteen minutes to get the protein in the bottom corners mixed. Floater is the best because it’s simple and it mixes very quickly when shaking. The sandwich is stupid because when pouring in the second layer of water protein dust gets airborne and leaves the cup which is another issue with the basic, but not the main issue. The sandwich is also stupid because pouring water over the powder mixes it about as much as one tenth of a second of shaking does so it’s a waste of time.
>>
>>76649817
I'm imploring you niggas to shake the bottle harder. it's getting embarrassing seeing these posts
>>
FloaterChad here, floater is the best way to shake your shake.
>>
>>76649915 >>76649884
srs why does no one use a blender for their shakes like us?

>>76649798
i do #3 and throw all materials on top
because i flip the cup upside down to blend
>>
>>76649822
>>76649894
>>76651491
This shit literally happens even in a proper blender. Floater method is the best way to avoid dry pockets
>>
>>76649798
Literally no difference.

Water in first and start to vortex it around as you pour in your powder
Still give it several minutes to sit and full absorb anyways otherwise its off
>>
>>76649844
>scraping (estrogenic/carcinogenic) plastic of the inside of your cup and ingesting a ton of it.
This is why you get a 100% stainless steel shaker. Actually I use a cocktail shaker since I couldn't find another shaker with 0 plastic.

Does she suck your cock too for that price? I used to pay a puerto rican woman to clean my house but she was a workaholic and probably rotten in money so i dont think she would be down to fuck if i asked

>using an extra gay shaker

Low test faggot
>>
>>76649808
Basic is more likely to result in unmixed powder than the floater.

I use milk when I'm not on keto, and water when I am. My gut tends to react violently with most powders when mixed with water though, so I have to be picky. Pic related is the best. Tastes great with milk or water, and no projectile vomit.
>>
>>76649798
I do the first 1 and after I dump my powder in it usually floats out a bit and leaves a spooky fog trail so I move my hands over it like I'm a Saruman messing with the palantir
>>
>>76649822
That's what happens when your powder isn't full of anti-caking agents.
>>
>>76649798
>1
most powders (especially cocoa for example) form some barrier when contacting a liquid making them way harder to mix if you use this method
3 is optimal
>>
>>76653828
>form some barrier
its called hydroscopic, the barrier is just air
this is a whites only board btw

I have a shitty shaker so i have to first even the powder with a fork so it dissolves then shake otherwise it wont all dissolve with rte water

>>76649798
Floater obviously. First method ends up with a clump on the bottom
>>
>>76649798
Sandwich. It's the only way that works without having to shake it for an hour. Basic makes a giant mud clump at the bottom that never breaks free and floater just makes a dusty mess

You colossal fucking retard these pockets happen inside of blenders too. You think you’re shaking harder than an industrial blender?

First one, just enough water to make a paste, get that smoothe and then add in the rest of the water to the shake concentrate you made

Are you fucking retarded? Protein is hydrophobic and folds in on it self. So wonderful job you’ve now created a lunch of hydrophobic clumping at the bottom of your glass. You should walk into a police station and aim an airport gun at them

I never got the big issue with powder clumps, so fucking what? Its not even a consistent issue, I mix my shit (liquid then powder on top) and only have clumps for the first few sips, its completely dissolved after that. Granted I keep shaking it after mixing but still, its a non issue

Holy shit that's expensive. I pay mine (African country) $10 a day, 3 days a week. Technically her job's just washing my clothes but they do the extras just cause. And she empties my balls too.
Tourist faggots like you ruin everything.
>>
>>76660845
Are you incapable of basic maths you retard
I'm paying her $100 per month
If you're paying $10 a day 3 days a week that's $30 a week.
4 weeks in a month (more or less) means you're paying her more per month than I pay mine
