makes 1 serving
Ingredients
- 300 mlHigh-protein ultra-filtered milk — Fairlife-class, named editorially — any similar ultra-filtered milk works
- 0.5 scoopWhey protein isolate — ~12–15 g powder; unflavoured or vanilla
- 4Ice cubes
- 50 mlWater (optional) — to thin if it feels heavy
- 30 mlGinger tea, cooled (optional) — only if ginger sits well for you
Steps
Chill everything
Use cold milk and ice. Warm shakes are harder when nauseous; cold often lands better.
Blend thin
Blend milk, whey, ice, and optional water until completely smooth and drinkable through a straw. If it is thick like a milkshake, add more water — thickness is the enemy on a bad gut day.
Sip, do not chug
Pour into a glass and take small sips over 20–30 minutes. Stop if nausea rises; resume later. Protein still counts in passes.
When you can barely eat
Halve the pour: 150 ml high-protein milk, no extra whey, ice only. Sip half a glass (~15–20 g protein). Keep the rest cold for later the same day. Skip ginger if any flavour is too much.

Notes
- Fairlife and similar ultra-filtered milks are named editorially as the community default — no affiliate or buy links.
- If dairy is the problem, use a ready-to-drink plant protein that you already tolerate; still keep it ice-cold and thin.
- This is mechanical protein intake, not a meal replacement diet. If you cannot keep fluids down, contact your prescriber.
