Crystal light and protein powder



Recommended Posts

For those of you that add Protein powder to your crystal light... how much do you add to what quantity?

Thank' date=' Jeannie[/quote']

I will add one scoop unflavored whey into 8-10oz of water/ crystal light. I fill my glass with ice and it will melt and mellow the strong flavor out.

I have to give that a try, because I'm still not getting all my Protein in everyday. Thanks for the idea.

I MAY HAVE TO TRY THIS TOO...I am not caring for the crystal light. I could drink some of them before the surgery but now it make me gag!

I did this and made the crystal light into like a cream flavor. Not bad. I am 4 days Pre-op and I am gagging with the shakes. Not sure if it's a "head" thing at this point.

I did it and had the same outcome. Only I could totally taste the Protein, had a Vitamin taste to it. So much for the Protein being "unflavored".

I too could stomach Protein Shakes after surgery. It was something about the consistency of them that made me want to puke. I ordered a sample pack of protein mixes of Syntrax Nectors, and I have to admit, they are pretty yummy. I've only tried he double cookie crunch and the vanilla wafer ones. I mix them with some ice and skim milk (u could use soy or almond milk). It's like a Oreo cookie milkshake! Very tasty. They also have a fruit punch mix, I have it but haven't tried it yet, thinking that would mix in great with crystal lights fruit punch...

      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!!
