Pre op diet day 1

[bringiton 68]

Today is the beginning! I unpacked my new blender, tossed in a little ice, one container of Premier Protein vanilla and a couple if frozen strawberries/banana slices. It did not turn out like I expected lol

There was just a huge, frothy amount of shake in the blender. The strawberries did not hide the entire taste of the shake, either. I felt like I drank 3 shakes, not one. It was all of that frothiness lol

Any advice? Lol

Just drink the shake on it own? Premiers are really quite good

I've tried lots of different shakes and agree that the premiers are some of the better ones. However, the vanilla is kinda blah. The chocolate is really good. I also like the Chike shakes (purchase packets from their website).

I find that if I make a Protein Shake using powder and frozen fruit they come out well in the blender. Using the packaged ones seem to make more foam. You'll get foam regardless, but it's less using powder. I'll use 1 scoop powder, handful of frozen fruit (choice of usually strawberries or banana or mango) and a scoop of yogurt then thin with Water. No need then for ice.

Ok and another suggestion..I like the vanilla and the chocolate, but if you have the vanilla and don't like it..people put those syrups Torani?

They have different sugar free flavors

I forgot I bought those sf syrups! Lol thanks for the reminder and thanks for letting me know powders work better!

Another thing- can shakes be put into the fridge after blending/making?

I'm on my pre op diet day one but the diet they have us on is completely different.... Breakfast is 4oz Protein 2oz fruit and 1/2 cup skim milk .... I've only heard of ppl doing the liquid diet for the two weeks pre op

All pre op diets are different...

As far as refrigeration of a shake after you make it. Sure, if its a mix though it might separate some and need to be blended some more.

[SoCalDixieGal 172]

It will definitely separate but shaking it up will help that. Be sure though to read the directions on whatever Protein Powder you buy. Some will say to drink immediately. Not sure if that's to prevent separation or for some other reason.
