OVER protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I am so sick of the taste of these shakes now (Premier Protein and Myoplex -- anything whey but specifically the bottled ones). To me they smell like rotten milk. Trying to figure out a way to get my Protein in without these shakes. Going to try my 'unflavored' protein mixed with various Soups. I miss using soy protein in fruit shakes (banana and berries) and although whey protein isolate is what is recommended I may need to modify things to meet my daily needs. I've gone too many days being grossed out by shakes and not meeting protein goals.

Does anyone have any other creative ideas on how to get that protein goal met daily?

I still haven't tried oatmeal with protein. It sounds gross because I've never liked oatmeal to begin with unless it had lots of brown sugar and cranberries in it (and I can't stand the flavor of artificial flavors).

I sound like such a spoiled brat, but I'll risk looking like a jerk if I can get great advice from experienced people here. Thanks in advance! post-305854-14835502339028_thumb.jpg

Try Syntrax Nectar. They have fruity flavors that kind of taste like crystal light. It's very refreshing

I love the GNC shakes. They also had seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and gingerbread if you are into that.

Thanks! Do you mean their Leanshakes powder? Or the packaged ones?

You might try egg white Protein also. GNC carries a few brands, some with flavor like vanilla or chocolate, and some plain. Usually around 25g Protein per shake. Not like it's any yummier than whey, but it is a different flavor to get sick of for a while. ;)

Thanks. I will try the egg white Protein. I think I have a sample of some somewhere.

I found one way that I can bearably use my unflavored Protein (Genepro). I mix it with Koolaid (sweetened artificially). I wouldn't have that every day, but it is bearable when I need the protein.

Since chicken makes me nauseous I grabbed up as many Shady Brook Farms turkey thighs as I could and froze them. I cook 2 large thighs at a time in the slow cooker overnight and the meat is like pulled pork. Then I make turkey salad and eat it alone or with half a piece of whole wheat toast or with whole wheat saltines.

Fat free refried Beans with a little bit of lowfat cheese is delicious.

I just picked up these items which each have at least 10g protein (the sausage, egg white, and cheddar one has 16g)post-305854-14837380764018_thumb.jpg

I'm over whey Protein shakes myself. I've started using plain soy Protein Powder with soy milk and 2 tbs of PB2. On Amazon, I buy Bulk supplements Pure Soy Isolate Protein Powder. I also learned about GENEPRO unflavored Protein supplement on this site. I ordered it but haven't gotten it yet. You can add it to anything and it isn't supposed to alter flavor or texture too much.

They had both the last time I was there. You can buy one shake and try it or get the powder and make your own. They are a little bit thicker than Premier in the botttles.

Thanks. I've been using GENEPRO since the day I got home but I can taste the whey Protein and really don't like it even though it blends well (after mixing and letting it sit for 5 min). I have yet to try the Isopure. The Atkins Lift drinks gross me out so I have been apprehensive about Isopure.

Also just so I don't confuse anyone, I changed my profile name from HalleJillyah to Jill_me

I am only 11 days post but getting close to 80 grams a day buy adding genpro to my coffee and a little bit to wherever I need it... Homemade applesauce w/cinnamon, pureed veggies, yogurt etc. Oh, and the oatmeal is great I add 1/2 tbsp gen pro and a little bit of PB2 and splash of milk...It's also made with milk..More protein!! I like that it's not sweet...Just my personal taste .. Could you add splendid to it?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
