How to make shakes taste better

I start my preop diet I a few days. I have started drinking shakes to get used to it.

I loved making smoothies. Some fruit, a few scoops of Protein powder and it was great.

For preop though, I need to drink that powder or pre made stuff. I find it nauseatingly sweet... Which is weird since there are only 5 grams of sugar. They aren't horrible but I just shudder at the though of their chemical sweetness.

Any advice on how to make then taste better? I also get three servings of milk or yogurt a day. Not sure if mixing them would make it better.

  • I buy it on Amazon most of the time because I can buy 1lb bags. I order about 4lbs at a time and it will last me about 3 months. I buy the chocolate PB2.

If you are using chocolate try adding PB2. PB2 is a powdered Peanut Butter. It doesnt have added sugar and also the fatty oils are taken out of it. It makes chocolate Protein shakes taste like a reese cup.

You can either buy it online or they also have it at Giant stores. Vitamin Shop sells a off brand one as well that is just as good.

I agree with TapSnap about PB2, if you like peanut butter that is. I bought mine at Walmart and add it to my shakes and often put it in my small ice cream maker to give it more of a frozen yogurt consistency.

I use reg peanut butter in my shakes but I mix them with hood milk. I am also 3 years post op though. I have been looking for the pb2 but can't find it in any walmart here so I will have to look online

The only place I found it where I live is whole foods. Way out of my way but worth it.
