why can't protein shakes taste good?



Recommended Posts

I use the Hawiian Punch (ocean orange) sticks. I mix it with 16oz of Water and use it as my liquid to mix with vanilla Protein Powder. It tates like an orange creamcicle!!

I bought the powdered PB2 Peanut Butter. And mix two tbs in my Premier Protein choc shake. Or a half small banana puréed in. Tastes good

Try the vanilla Creme Oh Yeah RTDs or the Cookies and Cream Pure Protein RTDs. I'm picky and liked both of those... a lot!

Where can I get these?

I think its because they're made in a lab / factory.

I try to get the vast majority of my Protein from food. I don't want to be drinking multiple Protein shakes a day for the rest of my life that taste like poo.

I was having such a hard time finding the low carb and high enough Protein that I now only get it from food as well. Primarily shrimp, eff whites, beef Jerky, lunch meat and string cheese. I get at least 90-100 a day.

I love the chocolate Unjury powder in the morning. Mix it with about 1/2 cup skim milk and my cold coffee that is left and that is a great mocha! Not quite Starbucks but pretty darn good from where I stand!

I'm using GNC Pro Performance because my son is a high school athlete and it was in thle house. Overall its not very good tasting but it I found out you can work miracles with whatever Protein you have Go to:

www.the worldaccordingtoeggface.com Her Protein Shake recipes are incredible. They even make the GNC crap I'm using taste good. I also use Unjury flavorless and chicken flavor for adding protein to my hot foods.

The best I have found is the Dymatize Elite whey Protein in Gourmet Vanilla. It mixes well and can be flavored with a banana or any of the sugar free syrups. Also...Pintrest has some great Protein Shake ideas. =)

I found these yoohoo packets just like the crystal light packets. No calories no sugars no fats. I'll put them in my chocolate Protein Shakes 100 TIMES BETTER AND YUMM. Also sometimes i'll mash up a banana in a blender with it too. I have also gotten extracts. I used a mint one in chocolate. It was great.

I am giving away my unjury starter kit (Minus one packet). The first person to claim it get's it. All I ask is to send me a few bucks for postage (PayPal).

I bought the Ninja blending system and am making my own Protein shakes.

Is it gone yet....?

My favorites have been the nectar flavors...Vanilla Bean Torte, Double Stuffed Cookie, and Lemon Tea were all good. Had trouble stomaching anything else so far.

      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!!
