Thicker Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

I am trying to come up with ways to thicken my Protein shakes without adding lots of calories or sugar. I know that ice makes it thicker, but I also feel that it flattens out the flavor too. I currently add part of a banana, and I know some people use a little fat-free, sugar free pudding powder, or Thick-it. Does anyone have other suggestions?

Thanks!

Sometimes I add greek yogurt (or regular yogurt) for flavor and it also thickens the shake. I also add banana and Peanut Butter and that works too!

Try the Goya pureed fruits. I added passion fruit and blueberry to mine this morning. Yum!!

You could maybe try adding a little oat bran.

I use frozen bananas with almond milk and splenda. It takes just like a banana shake! Yum!

If you want a super thick shake, try Casein Protein Shakes. Any brand you want, I get mine from GNC. They are actually to drink before bed. It is a slow releasing Protein and keeps your body fueled through the night.

Mix chia seeds into it. Be careful, not too many. They do swell.

My husband makes me a great shake with quick oats, chocolate Protein Powder, fibre, and 1tbsp of peanut butter! Not only is it chocked with Protein but it definitely kills any cravings.

45-55 minutes in freezer makes a delicious smoothie out of Protein Shake.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
