Wow - 300 Plus Calorie Protein Shake Breakfast

[suejersey 263]

So I got the Chike flavor samples and decided to try the chocolate today. I also decided to freeze a small banana and add it to my shake. I used unsweetened almond milk 1 1/4 cup. 1 sample packet of chike and banana and it was over 300 calories and 23 carbs. Guess I will not be having this combo for Breakfast again! I used almost half my calories for the day on breakfast. The good thing is that it seems like it is going to be very filling so I may not be able to finish the whole thing. Next time I will only use half a banana and make a smaller portion.

Learned a lesson that you still have to watch the numbers even with Protein shakes!

Not sure how far out you are but I wouldn't be using the banana. You really don't need the extra calories and the shake is filling enough. Try using only one cup of almond milk. Soy milk has alot more Protein so you may want to try it, in shake form you don't taste "soy".

Wasn't able to finish the entire shake and it filled me up. I was still within my numbers for the day. Is banana "bad" or just higher numbers? I am 4 weeks out.
