My first protein shake
updated by rck, 2004-11-03

I've just bought my first can of protein powerder. You know, that stuff that bodybuilders drink all the time to get lots of muscles. What I've seen after opening it quite amazed me: The can is, basically, only filled two thirds. In other words: I've got 2.5 inches of air with it. For free!

Why the hell did I buy that stuff? If you work out, you might have experienced it already. You'll get very hungry after a workout. So, instead of raiding my refrigerator all the time, I thought, why not drink a shake instead?

So I went and bought some powder called "powerplay", from Isostar, quite a popular brand here in Austria. Amazingly, the stuff I've seen first after opening it, was a lot of air. 2.5 inches air, 4.25 inches yellow (banana taste, you know), fine grained powder.

that
that's full. honestly.

How does it perform?

what
4.25 inches of filling

I haven't "used" it yet. That is: I didn't do a workout after drinking and haven't drunk it after a workout yet. But I will, in about five hours, after my every week California Workout.

What I can write already however, is about it's taste. It's banana, a bit artificial tasting. And quite thick, two soup spoons, heaped as good as possible, for a quarter liter of milk is a lot. I guess, it tastes ok. I actually like it.

    That air is to protect the contents from breakage. Can't have broken powder; that just won't do.

      Cushion is a nice word. Is there a difference between "cushion" and "pillow"?

        Hmm Cushion is a noun that can be used as a verb. Both pillow and cushions are nouns as well. You can cushion something, but you can't pillow something. As nouns they mean similar things. Pillow is more often for your head and cushion is more often for your butt.

          Thanks! So that means, that my Isostar Powder is for my butt, not my head? img=./images/emoticons/icon_smile.gif a=smile]/img]

              Now that's a relief. I already though, I used it wrong... A powder that's for the head and butt on the other hand, is quite nice. Everyone has head-powders, but only some lucky babies got butt powder as well.

              Besides, paying EUR 16 for a butt-only powder would be... hefty.
