Ive been trying out different brands of protien shakes to see which I like prior to my upcoming surgery. I have yet to find one that I like or can tolerate. I tried muscle milk yesterday and I kid you not, it left a nasty awful after taste all day until bed time!!! Anyone with a good reciepe book that you could recomed to make my own? I did order the unjury chicken broth and Wow is it good! So I ordered the chocolate shake and its due to arrive today. I hope its good! Sure would appreciate any ideas. Im thinking of getting the magic bullet as well. Anyone have one and like it or dislike it? Or did it just collect dust and not get used enough to condone having bought it???

Hello...

I use Pure Protein Vanilla Creme & mix in sugar free jello's or puddings to make different flavors..some of my favorites are s/f chocolate pudding with 2 tbsp of peanut butter or s/f pistachio pudding with almond flavoring added to 12 oz of water, some ice and 1 scoop of the protein powder...Have tried many other combinations like s/f orange jello (creamsicle), s/f lemon pudding...this morning I tried s/f chocolate pudding with a packet of chocolate raspberry truffle instant coffee and it was really good...you can also add greek yogurt to boost protein from 25g to 39g...Prior to my nutrition appointment I always used Atkins but I found this to be much less $ and more tasty and doesn't leave the after taste.

I did the same thing prior to starting my pre-op. I purchased the Magic bullet but found I like the Ninja better.

I like the Pure Protein brand of powders best. Vanilla Creme and chocolate frosty. I have been adding PB2 to them prior to blending and they really taste great. Much less sweet than the pre made cans of the same brand. I also purchased some Torani sugar free syrups to try: pumpkin spice, Vanilla and Peppermint. Those I got on the Torani website. I'll let you know how they turn out.

I use my ninja every morning, I usually have a canned shake a lunch.

Search the recipe threads, I got a bunch of ideas from there.

I agree with your comments on the unjury chicken broth. I love it!

Good Luck!!

I tried Muscle Milk today for the first time-UGH!!! I wanted to puke it was so sickly sweet!

I have a magic bullet and I use it all the time!

Love it

Thank you so much! Where do you purchase your protien powder?

Its awful isnt it?!! =-O

I can't remember who it was, but someone thinned out Greek yogurt to a drinkable consistency. That would be good and you could flavor it with torani sf syrups.

I use 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of skim milk and a few drops of mio or torani syrup. Tastes like a smoothie and it gives me between 20-25gms of Protein depending on the type of milk or yogurt I use

Ohhh....sounds good
