The Absolute Best Protein Shake



Recommended Posts

I have finally found the best Protein Shake. I've been experimenting with making different shake recipes. I made this one for my morning shake today and I loved it!

214 Calories (which is fine for me as I try to get 200 for breakfast)

18 carbs (same as above, the majority of my carbs come in the morning)

3 grams fat

32 grams Protein

49 grams of Calcium (this is big for me!)

14 grams of sugar - a little high but the sugar is mostly from the fruit and yogurt

1/2 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk

1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (I used Chobani)

1 scoop chocolate Protein Powder (I used Unjury Chocolate Splendor)

4 small Strawberries, halved

2 T. Torani sugar-free vanilla Syrup

4 Ice Cubes

Blend in Magic Bullet or Blender and Enjoy!

This sounds so delish! I wouldn't think coconut milk was allowed- I love coconut! Do you have any recipes using extracts and unflavored protein powder? My nut gave me samples of "Bariatric Advantage" and the unflavored was the best- you can really taste whatever you add, like strawberries and I used pumpkin pie spice for a fall-ish taste (even though it's still hot and humid in NY!).

My NUT said Coconut Milk is great. It's not really sweet or anything. It's also not the condensed kind like you buy for cooking. I only use flavored Protein Powder, and only powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand as that's the brand I like. I also use Unjury's chicken broth flavor in Soups and recipes calling for chicken broth. Good source of Protein.

I make a pumpkin shake with pumpkin, the pumpkin spice, vanilla protein powder and some sugar free Torani syrup! It's. Good too.

I just froze some banana slices and I'm going to try a chocolate shake with banana, Greek yogurt, and vanilla Syrup for tomorrow's Breakfast I'll let you know how it comes out.

Thanks for recommending Unjury Protein Shakes- I wanted to order my 3 week Pre-op supply. I called the 800 number and the sales person was so helpful- explaining what whey protein is, providing me samples of other flavors and recipes. I had no idea what the health and weight loss benefits were from whey protein! Now I know! Thanks!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
