Blending solid foods into liquid to drink- the pros and cons

So you blended foods or did you do powder shakes mixed with solids?
I agree on cleaning the blender. ill usually do 2-3 chicken sweet potato meals at once so I dont have to clean it and store the shakers. After I get used to the taste and cramming larger than normal amnts of food I switch to solids and use this as a trick when my app slows or im not feeling 100%.
I just got to thinking about this topic since I dont enjoy 75% of meals any way lol.

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. And it is not just me 'saying' it. It has been proven countless times in controlled scientific study. Whey protein is a superior protein in the body. It is the most bio-available. It also has tremendous health benefits from it's micro nutrients. Everything from tissue regeneration to anti carcinogenic.
That does not mean you should consume all your protein in this manner. Balance and well rounded nutrition is an important thing to consider. But you will not find a "better" or more "healthy" protein then whey and that is NOT an opinion.

I believe that studies may indeed show that whey is a superior protein when compared to chicken. But chicken is not just protein. Just 8oz of chicken breast has something like 40g of protein and 10g of fat. I like the saying that if you "can't pick it, pull it, shoot it, or catch it...dont eat it", crow. I don't always follow it, but I DO believe in its premise.
That said, I am interested to know the overall health benefits of 20g of wpi mixed with 5g of coconut/olive oil blend, and if it closely mirrors the overall health benefits (not just protein synthesis response) of 4oz of chicken.
For me personally, I have always made better gains, looked better, felt better, etc, when I have no shakes in my diet and instead replace those cals with whole food. Still use shakes though for convenience. Damn I'm all over the place, lol.

Crowman:
I think blending the food and chewing it create similar results: a pulverized mash that you can swallow easily. So I say if you decide to eat your food that way for some reason (in this case for health reasons) there should be no difference in your body's reaction to the food whether it is blended or chewed.

i fully agree in how i look/ Much fuller on solid foods than on Whey shakes. However like you said were not always prepared and sometimes thats the next best option. Im going to do some more digging around to see what i can find on a combo of wpi/fat to chicken breast. I doubt ill find much but ill do some digging when i get a sec.

First I'd like to say protein has never been shown to have adverse effects on kidney function.
But blending food, there is an upside and a downside. Upside, increased nutrient uptake, less for your stomach to break down. Does it really make a difference? The difference will be negligible. It just like the argument of vitamins in capsules or powder, powder is better but will have no existential difference. Downside? I enjoy steak.
Interesting topic though
And this is far from true. Oral bioavailability has nothing to do with superiority. Whey protein would actually be inferior, if it mattered, due to the fact that the protein from chicken contains intact growth factors, whereas most forms of WP do not.
And finally, in the context of a high protein diet, protein is protein. Biological value, which is likely what you are referring to when you say bio-available, is a flawed yardstick of protein's worth as asserted by essentially every figure who knows a damn about nutrition. Amino acid content, the prime determinant of BV, simply does not matter when an individual is taking in at least 1g protein per pound of bodyweight with an inanely large amino acid pool. Soy/Casein/Chicken/Tuna/Etc effects on muscle building will echo whey's in basically perfect parallel, especially when accounting for consumption of other complete protein sources and the post-absorptive overlap that occurs across meals over the course of a day. With the amino acid pool being more than sufficient to facilitate the elevation in muscle protein synthesis in the (up to) 36-48 hours following a weight training bout, the need to differentiate between protein sources is moot (this includes even non-essential vs essential amino acids, unless megadosing)
