My first RTD Protein shake



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I decided to start testing out RTD Protein shakes.. And yes, I cheated by buying one with more sugar than I thought I should have but it was still HORRIBLE! It has the consistency of pepto bismol and milk of magnesia..

OMG, I just dont know.. I will probably have to add something in them to thin it out.

BTW, it was Bolthouse Farms - Mango Protein Plus..

People rave about Bolthouse Farms smoothies but I don't like them at all! I.tried the mango and also the vanilla chai Protein One and YUCK. What I have done is take the green one and mix it with my vanilla Protein Powder and that was tasty.

My friend uses the vanilla chai one with Cereal in the morning.. I tried a spoonful and it didnt taste too bad.

I will try the green one and some vanilla Protein powder.. That sounds interesting. I also bought the chocolate one (it was BOGO at Krogers) and haven't tried it yet.

I hate to be wasteful so I will mix it with a few things to see if I can salvage the rest of the bottle.

My favorite RTD is GNC's Total Lean Meal Replacement. It's got 25g of Protein and only 6 carbs (2g sugar). I'm not a Breakfast person, so I always drink my breakfast. I literally have an entire cabinet full of protein powders and drinks that I couldn't stomach after surgery. So much wasted money :(

Yes, thats why I am sticking to RTD for now. I didn't want to buy something that will be useless after the surgery. I don't think I can lose with vanilla Protein powder though.

I've seen countless recipes with it so I may just buy a smaller tub.

Boy, I wish I could go shopping in your cabinet!!

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
