Protein Shakes any advice please



Recommended Posts

Have you tried mixing chocolate Protein Powder with sugar free instant pudding mix? Add two scoops of powder to the packet of pudding and mix it up... add 2 and 1/4 cups skim milk. whisk together. Assuming you are using Protein powder with 25 grams of protein and 110 calories... the entire recipe has 69 grams of protein and 513 calories. That would make a half cup serving have 128 calories and 17 grams of protein.

Could I use a differ net form of milk ? I cant do skim milk at all. So far almond milk is the lightest feeling on stomach and it is still almost to heavy for stomach. Next what flavor of pudding ? I havent been able to tolerate protein powder any other way, so I am willing to try anything once

Yes! Almond milk works just fine!

I havent been able to drink any kind of Protein without getting sick. Any advice on how to get to where I can tolerate protein ? Or will my stomach get to where it lets me tolerate it further out ?

So far, best I can tell, you've only had milk based Proteins, which are super high quality. I'd recommend trying another type, like hemp,egg, or even soy. They are not as high quality as whey is but they might be easier on your stomach.

I just ordered the egg Protein Shake sample package by Jay Robb . Do you know if that was a good choice ?

I just started using the ocean spray cran peach tea yesterday and love it mixed with water. Before that I was mostly a propel type of guy. I got tired of crystal light and mio a while ago because of weird artificial aftertaste. Now I am going to branch out and try some other ocean spray flavors.

I use these recipes and these shakes taste so good that I actually look forward to them. During the summer I use them in my soft serve maker for Protein ice cream.

The Protein powder I use is SEI Max Protein. The vanilla and the chocolate is a good base for anything. I use 2% milk. In the mocha ones I use 6 oz. of coffee and 2 oz. of 2% milk.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
