Protein help

I am still unable to stomach the protein shakes/powders...I have tried making pudding with it, I have tried putting the unflavored in soup, etc...I ordered a hot chocolate protein drink yesterday so I will try that. Any other suggestions?? I know I need it and I'm only able to eat about 20-30 grams a day. HELP!!!

  • I am pre-op so by no means know what I am saying, but other forums have talked about isopure and other protein waters. My Nut suggests cutting the sweetness with plain yogurt. Good luck and keep us po

  • I didn't pay enough attention to this post. One of the foods that I thought was most efficient for getting protein is very thin sliced turkey. I would lay a few slices on a plate, then put part of a

Hi.. I am 6 days post op and can't for the life of me get my protein.. I'm going crazy.. I've tried several shakes. Isopure was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Just thinking about it makes me gag.. What else can I have so early on? I an literally surviving on g2 and jello.. Help!!!

I drink this daily. Depending on how much you can drink, it seems like a lot of calories, but I have lost the most weight when I drink these regularly.

Blend:

Chiobani mint chocolate chip Greek yogurt

Mootopia chocolate milk (has 12g of protein)

Chia seeds

Designer whey white chocolate Protein powder

Ice

It takes me all morning to finish it, but there are 38g of protein and its sooooo yummy.

On liquid phase, get some cream of tomato (or other flavor no clumps) and make it with milk and also add in Carnation Instant Dry Milk Flakes.

I use premier Protein shakes 30G. Vanilia accepts most any flavoring.

I bought some flavorings that are used in coffees (starbucks and the like) from a Wegmans in the coffee section. They have them in sugar free in about 30 flavors at the manufactures website. Coconut, peanbutter, strawberry, you name it. I used choclate, coconut and almond and sweat I was drinking a almond mound candy bar. Carmel and almond taste like hazelnut. Choclate flavored ones are hard to change from basic chocolate. But Carmel works well. The Wegman's only have a few choices.

The flavor company is called Da Vinci and is online. 2 tablespoons full and ice mixed in a magic bullet and you don't even know it's a protien drink.

I always start my day with either a Premier Protein shake (30g protein) or a Syntrax nectar chocolate truffle shake made with unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp PB2 and 1 tbsp powdered egg whites (37g protein). At some point in the day, I have either 1/2C plain, Greek, no fat Chobani yogurt (18g protein) or 1/2C 1% skim cottage cheese (11g protein). I drink one bottle of coconut Isopure every afternoon (40g protein). If I'm in and out of meetings and can't get to the Isopure, my "go to" is unjury chicken broth (21g protein) or 1 whole egg scrambled with 1 egg white (17g protein).

Some days, I'll eat 1/2 Quest bar. Have you tried those? They come in a variety of flavors. While they appear to be high in carbs, they're actually high Fiber (17-19g), generating only 3-5 net carbs. One whole bar is at least 20g protein.
