Hi All,

Protein shake fatigue has settle in. I really need some tips. I have bookmarked Eggface's recipes and am looking for more. My doc has me on two shakes a day while I am losing. Ugh! I cheat rather often by having real food like pureed beans when I just can't face a shake. However, I don't feel that I am getting all my protein in when I do that.

I think that a lot of it is psychological because I went from eating for comfort all the time to subsisting on protein shakes. If I could just divorce myself from wanting a little comfort from food I could live on shakes.

Excuse my rambling. I'd appreciate those tips.

TIA.

It's hard to jazz up a protein shake without carbing it all up at the same time. That said, I loved to use chocolate mix, add frozen strawberries, cocoa powder, and some Splenda... THAT was delicious.

I was so pleased to have found the world according to egg face site, can not do Protein shakes at ALL! Thanks to this site, I have been putting the shakes into my ice cream maker and I admit I have a small amount of chocolate sauce on but have to say it is bearable.

However, had to scrap that idea as 20 minutes after the protein, I had slimes for over 2 hours :scared0:...think I will just have to stick to food puree for my protein, darn it!

I like to add some Toriani SF liquid to my chocolate shake to give it a little more flavor. also like to use 1/2 unsweeted soymilk and 1/2 Water to give it a little more substance. I like my shakes best when I put them in the blender with some ice to make them a little creamier.

Toriani has a lot of different flavors. I have chocolate, caramel, vanilla and strawberry.

What about trying some different brands of shakes? GNC is good about letting you return ones that you don't like. I recently got a canister at Whole Foods that I returned the next day because it was vile.

I like Bodytech Dutch Chocolate pudding as a change from shakes. You can get it at Vitamin Shoppe. Mixed with 5-6 oz of water it has 25 grams of Protein (if I remember correctly) and around 145 calories. Nice change of consistency.
