not sweet protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I'm as big a chocosaurus as the next gal, but I'm noticing that all of these Protein Drinks for our full liquid phase are sweet, either chocolate or fruit sweet. Are there any savory options out there? A high-gram Protein Drink that tastes more like beef broth or something savory might make a welcome change after days of sticky sweet. Does that exist?

I've never tried em, but I've heard people rave about the click espresso and other flavors.

I liked the unjury chicken Soup and that says a lot since I am not a salty/savory person but this broth had quite a bit of flavour. Reminded me of Lipton's soup (in the envelope) so if you like that, you should like the Unjury brand.

I was also getting sick of the 'sweetness' since I am not drawn to sweet post-op. The only Protein shake I can get down right now if I need to is the Premier Protein line at costco (only comes in chocolate, I think) so other than that, all of my Protein sources are coming from food.

I dont drink Protein shakes - before you die, I'm 5 years banded, not sleeved and not post op. I dont like them, find them too sickly sweet, and if you read the labels, theyre often either a big hit of sugar or of artificial sweetener, neither of which I'm keen on consuming.

I often make an egg flip - just an egg, skim milk and a dash of vanilla. Its not savoury, but not very sweet and with a shake of nutmeg on top, I really like them for Breakfast. There's about 17 grams of Protein there and nothing artificial (I use real vanilla).

I know some people will freak at the thought of raw eggs, but I've never had an issue and I've had egg flips since I was tiny.

Jachut - hmm, do you blend the flips or just stir? Do you break the yolk? Do you think it would work with unflavored Protein powder mixed in? Is it best to drink them super cold? I'm not sleeved yet but I started this thread because just the idea of those sticky sweet jelly bullets ... *shudder*

This is interesting .. I have never heard of an egg flip before and my father mentioned this to me about a week ago. He said it's good. The idea of drinking a raw egg really makes my stomach flip :001_unsure: .. so I will have to pass. But I understand about the sweetness of the Protein Shakes. I find them awful and I used to like them as well so the majority of my protein intake comes from food. It's not always easy but I somehow manage it.

You blend them and you cant taste egg at all, that just adds some oomph and nutrition to the drink. It tastes mainly like milk and vanilla blended with some nutmeg on top.

egg flips are sort of traditional "sick food", the kind of thing your mum always makes you when you're ill or convalescing - a bit like chicken Soup. Its a habit of the 1970's that has kind of stuck with me.

I've been eating some butternut quash Soup with unflavored Protein added. Probably high in carbs but I am struggling to get any protein in and can't drink one more horrible Protein Shake

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
