How did you make a protein drink the preferable choice? laughing smiley

If you've seen what a blended meal looks like, choosing a protein drink ain't hard.

My granddad lived to be 99, but I think he wore dentures for about 35 years. Even as an old geezer, he cooked for himself and my grandmother cooked for herself. Poppy used to fry up a steak or a pork chop in butter and other seasonings and it smelled so, so good. Then he'd cut the meat up in like 1-in pieces and then run it all through a meat grinder. It looked like dog food after that. Delicious meat but pulverized! He'd always have a small pot of rice or mashed potatoes to go with it. Then he'd heat up some kind of vegetable like peas, and when they were done, he'd mash them to heck with a fork. He'd put all the food on his plate and just mix it all together with his fork until it was unrecognizable. It just looked like mushy dog food. Now, the reason my granddad prepared his food this way is because he didn't like eating with his dentures. They bothered him. Besides, he said his food tasted better just gumming it, but when he took them out, he couldn't really chew his food... so, he'd blend it all together until it became adult baby food?!
