Started my liquid/ 1 lean Neal a day diet 10 very long days ago. This morning when I started to make my Protein share I suddenly had an epiphany.

I used

1 cup of skim milk

1 tsp of Splenda

1 scoop of pure protein vanilla flavor

1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice

A little vanilla extract.

It was AMAZING! I'll post more recipes as I come up with them. Y'all should do the same to get us out of the old boring shake routine!

My phone screws ups some words. Lol. I meant meal an protein shake.

Yum that sounds good, maybe it will make the vanilla shakes that I have tolerable

That was my hope. My vanilla shakes are gross too. I can usually handle the chocolate ones but not the vanilla. I'm going to try some different recipes over the next few days.

Let us know what's good!

Today I added a little bit of peanut butter to my shake and it was pretty good. I also added a couple drops of sugar free vanilla syrup. Not sure if that helped much or just made me feel better. Lol. Tomorrow I plan to blend some frozen mango into a vanilla shake and see how that goes.

Peanut butter to a chocolate shake. Not vanilla. Not sure that would be good. Lol.

Your so creative! I just got some nectar shakes in today, I had the cappuccino it was good no aftertaste.

What is a nectar shake if you don't mind me asking?

I'm not banded yet, hoping for a June date but I'm curious too, what is a nectar shake as I have to do 2 wks of protein shakes pre-op? Also would like to know what brand of protein powder are you using to do the pumpkin spice flavor shake? thx for the recipe.

I use Pure Protein vanilla powder for the pumkin shake.

My goodness pumpkin*. Lol. I get it from Walmart for less than $20.

can you get Pure Protein vanilla powder anywhere GNC or Walmart?

I'm not sure about GNC but I know for sure you can get it at Walmart.

Nectar is a brand of protein, they have all different flavors. I ordered a sample pack from bjs bariatrics because they have Been recommended to me by so many people. So far very good. And the amp if from gnc best chocolate that I've found

Love this protein shake conversation. Keep it coming as I have to start my pre-op diet on Friday.
