Ingredients

  • 300 mlHigh-protein ultra-filtered milkFairlife-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

  1. Chill everything

    Use cold milk and ice. Warm shakes are harder when nauseous; cold often lands better.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  • No milligram dose numbers on this page.
