So i finally found one i live. Unjury. But my Nut is not happy b/c i use skim milk. Too much carbs. They only carbs practically in my diet! I thought i was doing good. Banded 10/10. Down 36 pounds. Said use Almond milk. Heard its awful. Help

Other than a sugar free instant breakfast because I dont tolerate food in the mornng....I havent had a protein shake since I started on mushies. My Dr prefers I get my nutrition from food.

Well, you are doing amazing. Boy, that's your call. I never drank them. Drank a total of 2 the week after surgery. Just didn't like them (but I didn't try many) The almond milk might be just fine mixed with your protien.? Worth a try.

Nice job on the weight loss so far!

Why does she want you drinking cals. at all? You should get cals from solid food. I do have some days a Premier shake as pre workout snack.(I often have 8 hours between lunch and dinner).

I tried several drinks and disliked them all. I finally tried premier protein from SAMs club ($18.88 for 12) and it tastes just like chocolate milk to me. It is 30 grams protein and 5 grams carb per 11 oz bottle. I have been drinking 3 a day for 3 weeks now and still love them.

Try Almond milk, unsweetened! Very low carbs and calories, same texture as skim milk.

I use CytoSport 100% Whey protein vanilla but I think they have chocolate. Upon the advice of Cheznoel, I now make it with 6 oz unsweetened almond milk which thickens it up. I also add a tablespoon of SF FF jello instant pudding (chocolate), a packet of splenda and some crushed ice. The pudding does add about 35 calories and 8 carbs but between the pudding and the milk, the thing tastes like chocolate milk and I can get it down. In fact it's yummy! Also, when you're not so carb restricted you can add some frozen fruit which is super yum.

This sounds delicious. Saving this recipe for when I'm banded :-)

I make mine with almond milk, vanilla protien powder and any flavor of sf jello I want. Strawberry, black cherry, peach is my fav. I hated the shakes too until I started doing this. Only drawback is I have to use the blender to mix them up enough... Mess to clean.

Not pudding jello, regular sf jello. It overpowers the protein taste.

Speaking of blenders, I'm a big believer that having a good one can make all the difference. I've heard wonderful things about the Vitamix but it's super expensive at around $400 and up! A friend of mine who has a Vitamix suggested I get the Ninja because she had heard great things about it. I found one at Costco for about $100. I always add ice and usually raw spinach to my protein smoothies and it chops both up great, so fine that I can't tell there's spinach in it.

I have made Unjury Chocolate Splendor with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It was very good.
