I am getting so tired of the protein shakes already!!! Well this morning as I put my scoop of vanilla protein powder in my 8oz of milk, I started digging in my spice cabinet and spotted some cinnamon. Well wouldn't you know, it tastes fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have done that as well. I like to use the pumpkin pie spice that has cinnamon and nutmeg. So yummy. Another thing I like to do sometimes is to add a scoop of caffeine free instant coffee to my shakes. It's to die for!

Just recieved an order of PB2 adding to my shakes, it is so yummy.

Jen I too love pb2!!! Especially to my chocolate protein!!! Yummo

What is PB2 please!

Pb2 is powdered peanut butter. I found in the health market section of our grocery store. It is soooooo good!!!

PB2 has 45 calories and 5 grams of Protein, so once a day should be great. I bought some torani sugar free syrups made with sucralose (not as healthy as PB2, but zero calories) i tried Peanut Butter and salty caramel in my Optifast, and it definitely yummed it up. I have vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon, white chocolate, and gingerbread flavors for oatmeal during my soft phase and for Breakfast afterwards. I had to buy a case of the assorted flavors on amazon, but it was only 35 for 6 bottles.

Cinnamon is also great for blood sugars, it elevates ur sugars and is so good for u!

Yum!!

PB2 is so good you won't be sorry, I buy mine on line...just google PB2 and their web site comes right up and its so much cheaper that way, I only buy the chocolate pb as it so good, I think much better than the plain. I don't think they charge tax and the shipping is good. I buy the one pd packages and just can't get enough of it. ENJOY!

U can also get it at HEB if u live in Texas . They have pb2 and pb2 with chocolate. Yum!

Rats....allergic to peanut better..I will strike that off my to buy list..

Sounds great everyone, thanks for the tips. I am in the "puree stage" and am still mainly drinking shakes because most everything I have pureed is nasty.

Have you tried pureeing a nice hearty homemade Soup? I'm still post-op- can we have pureed veggies or for example, minestrone soup (no pasta), pureed while on this stage? I bought powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored whey Protein and it suggests adding it to Soups and fruit flavored Crystal light. Has anyone tried soups w/ Protein powder during purée stage?

Having a lot problems keeping down yogurt and pretty much anything soft food. Protein shakes and water stay down now why can't pureed foods. Anyone else have this problem. And anybody known from pucking can it hurt ur pouch. Sorry for been gross.
