If Protein drinks are a problem, you should try using candy flavoring oils. They're really good and if you don't have a candy supply store nearby, you can buy them online. They come in so many different flavors that there's something for everyone, like butter rum, marshmallow, cherry cordial, blackberry, and pretty much everything else you've ever seen in a candy cream filling flavor. You can also try the flavor section in the grocery store, but the selection will be more limited.

You can also try reducing the amount of liquid you use to get more of a loose pudding texture, and refrigerate it overnight to let it become creamier. Barring that, you can heat the ingredients because, when they're warm, the drinks have a completely different flavor. They're a godsend to me when I can't get anything else to go down, and I came up with a variety of tricks to change the taste before surgery so I wouldn't be stuck with few options. I hope this helps!

Protein Balls Recipe

The pb and oatmeal balls are VERY easy. (Great Recipe *****)

1 cup Peanut Butter (I use no-sugar-added Peter Pan)

1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff

1 cup protein powder (I use Matrix Chocolate, but you can use other flavors)

5 packets Splenda

Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Splenda and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix) Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls.

@Oregondaisy: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've saved all of your recipes and plan to try most of them. They sound amazing, especially the pumpkin and toffee ones! :biggrin2:

sorry about the double post. they really do need a delete button here!

You're welcome! I can't take credit for these recipes though. I haven't even tried very many of them.

The most I do is add the sf syrups to my shakes. I do really like using OJ. they have a lower sugar OJ out these days. It tastes like an orange julius if you make it with ice and blend it up.

I am pretty much stuck on Gaspari Myofusion peanut butter/chco for the most part though.

thank you everyone ... I've been adding 1 or 2 spoonfuls of Eddies no sugar ice cream (my nutrionist said 1x a day that is ok) to my milk & some frozen strawberries and then a scoop of Jay Robbs protein powder and have been able to drink that this week, so I am happy ... and I'm still losing weight so I'm even happier! thanks everyone!

You have some awesome recipes! Do you mind if I re-post on my blog Oregondaisey?

Sure you can post them on your blog.

I can't take any credit for these recipes. I found them online.

Here are a few more tips I've found useful:

1. Love chocolate? Want to add more a stronger chocolate hit to bottled chocolate drinks? Black cocoa is the best thing I've ever used and, while it's expensive compared to other cocoas, you use less than half for the same intensity of flavor. You can buy it online at King Arthur Flour (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/black-cocoa-12-oz) for $9.95 for 12 oz. plus shipping. I keep small, sealable plastic test-tube filled with it for easy portability (an old 12-tab Tylenol container would work) and just shake a bit into the Protein drink, close it up and give it a good shake. Delicious!

2. Make very strong chai tea using 6 teabags or the equivalent (Stash is my favorite brand, but there are lots of good ones out there), two cups of Water, and maybe through in a stick or two of cinnamon along with a couple of cloves or star anise to intensify the flavor as it steeps. Let it cool, then fill ice cube trays. Add one or two to your vanilla Protein shakes in place of regular ice cubes. You can also get the water bottle ice cube makers, and put one of the cylinders into a bottled vanilla Protein Drink. This could be good in caramel, chocolate, banana, pumpkin, or any other flavor that can handle strong spice and strikes your fancy.
