So, does anyone else scratch their heads at the drastic difference of taste between premier powder and the pre-made shakes? I love the shakes, but the powder tastes horrible. I have three giant tubs of the stuff I am stuck with lol (An expensive mistake). Anything I can do to make the powder more palatable? Suggestions?

LOL now see I can't stand the premade (tastes like plastic to me) and can only tolerate the powder!

The powder has a weird spoiled milk taste to me. Can't get it past my nose lol

Try drinking from a cup with a lid on it so you don't smell it. That helps me anyway because it keeps me from smelling it

Add another stronger smell to it. Nut butter might make the scent.

Same here. Could only tolerate pre made during pre-op liquid and they turn my stomach post op. Powder for me now.

I do find adding icemakes them even more enjoyable.

Add something to it. vanilla or any flavor of the Torani sugar-free flavorings.... you can get a 12oz bottle at Walmart for about $4.00, I think they are by the coffees usually. It comes in Caramel, vanilla, Hazlenut, Rasberry, Toffee, strawberry, etc...

Try to stick with anything chocolate, Vitamin Shoppe has some great ones, and you can get a 5lb tub for $49.99, I finished mine and have to to my old strawberry powder I ordered from online and it is horrible, unfortunately since I workout with weight training I have to take it, try these tricks if you have chocolate, substitute Silk for Water, try to add some Decaf coffee instant packets ( my favorite with 1 packet Splenda, Protein Powder and non dairy Creamer in a blender with ice) or 2 small squirts of chocolate Syrup, also if you use water it is preferable to use very cold filtered water, tap makes it taste worse.....

If you have the "moderation" thingy under control you can indulge in little things like that, just back off if you start wanting to make chocolate shakes using massive amounts, I'm doing great except that I still never go near Energy drinks, it will set me off.........

@@flokismom - Just be sure to use the sugar free syrups. There is sugar alcohol in them which bothers some people, but a little goes a LONG way.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
