I have these huge canisters of Protein powder that are disgusting to me and tend to kill my stomach. I'd tried mixing them with regular skim milk, 2% milk, goat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, Water... and it never worked. I got a juicer for my birthday and needed to go on liquids as my allergies were making me swell. DREAM IDEA: Vegetable juice for the Protein Drink!!!!!
So, I can no drink the Protein shake, and it seems there's enough of a barrier that it doesn't care my digestive system either. The taste and fake sugar are also masked enough that I don't want to gag or drink too quickly. The brand that I can't handle is Bariatric fusion.
I have what I would like to call "blood juice"
I juice the following:
4 carrots medium/small carrots
1 small beet root or a piece of a large one
2 cups of greens (spinach works best)
half a thumb of ginger root
I juice all of that, throw it in a blender cup with the giant scoop of ick. Shake it... and it looks like blood and is totally drinkable. I couldn't bring myself to throw away the powder, given the price... and now it looks like it can be a liquid diet food. This is what I'd like to call a win.
