Yes, you can use water as the liquid base. The shake may have a thinner consistency. For creaminess, substitute coconut water, kefir, yogurt or ice cream. Avoid fruit juice which can alter the flavor.
How long will a protein shake keep after making it in the Vitamix?
Store your protein shake in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 24 hours. Shake or stir it before drinking to evenly distribute ingredients. For longer storage, freeze individual portions up to 3 months.
