Hi I'm just about 3 weeks out now. I was wondering if anyone else out there was having the same problem I am. I can't drink my Protein Shakes because they taste way too sweet. I've tried several different ones. My sugar free drinks, Popsicles, everything like that are tasting too sweet also.

Try mixing half of your sweetened Protein Powder with unflavored Protein powder to cut down on the sweetness. I personally use unflavored Isopure powder and mix it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a teaspoon each of unsweetened cocoa and instant coffee.< /p>

I add 1/3 cup of dried powdered milk to mine, add crushed ice and blend. It's creamier, smooth and far less sweet, plus it adds Protein.< /p>

That's a great idea, Lipstick Lady. And look at you closing in on a big milestone....

I also experienced everything tasting really sweet. one thing that helped me was to mix plain Greek yogurt with my reduced carb yogurt. I wasn't able to drink the Protein Shakes that you mix because of the amount of air (bubbles) in them, Premier brand shakes are not so sweet. The only place I can find them is Sam's Club.

Even though it doesn't involve Protein - I give myself a break from the sweet by having a cup of chicken bouillon a day. It is super high in sodium, but I find myself needing to get that sweet taste out of my mouth sometimes. Plus, I am more oriented towards salty foods than sweet, and so the shakes part is hard for me.

I had that problem too. I agree that the Syntrax Nectar flavors are not quite as sweet -- the Roadhouse Lemonade and Fuzzy Navel have a bit of tartness to them. I mixed a small amount of unflavored Protein Powder with my V8. Also the Unjury chicken Soup was a godsend for me. Good luck to you!

You could also try the Unjury chicken Soup flavor - you could get your Protein in without a sweet taste at all

      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.
