The chocolate mixed with cold coffee and ice...kind of like a frappucino.

I would brew the coffee the night before and put in the fridge.

If you have any extracts, you can try altering the flavor some.

I would add less than a cap full of mint to make it to taste like mint chocolate.

You can add 2 tsp of sugar free Jello or pudding mix to it to alter the taste. I've had chocolate with banana cream pudding; vanilla with orange jello; vanilla with lemon pudding; chocolate with raspberry jello. They were all pretty good...at least good enough. Gotta have some variety when you drink them daily.

If you don't have any coffee you can add a small spoon of instant coffee with ice and fat free milk.

Try adding 1tbsp of instant coffee, 8oz of skim milk, 1tbsp of Peanut Butter and 1 scoop of Unjury - it is fabulous and really filling!

I always stuck with Vanilla or unflavored Protein Powder because it was easier to flavor. that being said I used a lot of MIO and some of the 4c drink mixes.

I use sugar free syrups to help favor them( the kind in the coffee section) . I am at the point i dislike any Protein Drinks after 11 days of them :( But I try to make them palatable. It is hard when you have to drink them daily. Hang in there :)

I haven't tried the Unjury yet - just ordered some. But I really like the Chike packets and the Premier Protein (already prepared and sold at costco and probably other places) is pretty good. The chocolate Premier tastes better.

Mixed up the Chike in a shaker bottle while traveling last week and must admit I was pretty impressed with the taste!

I think ill break up the unflavored scoops to 2 seperate drinks cause a scoop in one drink is too nasty i am like desperately trying to hold down each gulp. Second nastiest thing ive ever had.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
