Hey guys.
I saw this post and I just thought I would post a Protein Shake recipe that I find is super tasty and really helps me get my Protein in for the day. I am getting banded on March 8th and, let me tell you, this liquid diet has been pretty bad. I just hate the taste of the protein powders. I bought mine from GNC so supposedly they are pretty good . . . but I can't seem to convince my brain of that! So, when I made this, I was SO happy! Now, in the last few days, I can get my protein fill!!
Fist of all, you will need a mixer, I just have one of those magic bullet type mixers that makes the shake right in the cup. Just one of the shaker ones could possibly work, but you really need one that can crush ice.
- Fill the cup halfway with skim milk (I use lactose free since I am lactose intolerant).
- Dump in a scoop of your choice of protein powder.< /span>
~ I have used the nonflavored and Cookies and cream. I have never tried the vanilla, but I am pretty sure that any Protein Powder would work.
- After that comes the flavoring. It may sound strange, but it's really good. Find your favorite sugar-free pudding mixes. I buy mine at wal-mart for like .82 cents or something. I have tried it with the cheesecake one (I was feeling daring), but I didn't really enjoy it. I use the banana cream pudding mix. The banana flavor takes away the flavor of the protein powder.
-As far as measuring this, I just kind of shake a little bit in. I want to say about 2 teaspoons, but I really don't know. You can add more and it has never tasted too sweet. Close up the pudding bag after that and save it for later. One pack should make about 3-4 shakes.
- Fill up the rest with some ice. I use crushed ice because it does seem to mix in better.
- Blend it all together and drink it up!
ALL FINISHED! Honestly, I love this thing. I think the banana flavored shake could get a little old after a while, but then so can the liquid diet. Sometimes you just have to find what works and go with it. No matter how much it sucks!
I wish you all the best of luck and I hope you are doing well in this liquid diet stage. I will let you know if I find any other good mixtures. I have other pudding mixes to try!
Let me know if you have any questions!
