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...

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
