OVER protein shakes

[Jill_Me 100]

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!

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

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

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

Cottage cheese, tuna...?

I struggled in the beginning. But now I love Syntrax nectar. They are a treat for me. No artificial taste at all. I do the chocolate truffle but they have many other fruity flavors. I found them at Vitamin Shoppe

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)

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.

Boxed sugar free Jello. Make as directed, but instead of adding cold Water and a cold bottle of Isopure.

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 mixed FairLife 2% milk with chocolate Unjury powder. It tastes really good. FairLife Milk is a good Protein source too so you get more bang for your buck.

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?
