Protein shake ideas



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody ! I just bought my Protein Shake powder in Cookies and cream and im planning on buying vanilla... So far the cookies and cream does not taste good at all...does anyone have any suggestions on mixing up different things or an actual good tasting Protein Powder ? I start my diet on the 16th and my surgery is on the 30th

I haven't found any good Protein powder. I'm sticking to the ready to drink for everyday use. I did however make protein Popsicles out of the powder that are really good. Only the chocolate have been good so far. I tried the vanilla for Popsicles and they have a whey smell/taste. Yuk.

Some peoples tastes will change after surgery. But mine did not. I drink matrix mint cookie by Syntrax, i also use big train fit frappes. When I'm on the road which is allot i drink lite choc muscle milk.

I only use Unjury Protein powder, it does not taste bad at all. They have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chicken Soup and unflavored. The only one I did not buy a container for is the chicken soup, the rest I've gone through several containers. The strawberry sorbet I mix with lemonade, the rest with milk. They have many ideas of how to mix, I stick to milk and occasionally frozen fruit for the unflavored one. I highly recommend it. You do have to buy online.

What I've learned is to focus on vanilla the most. Try and drink it without any bells and whistles added. You'll learn to like it that way. Focus more on throwing a twist on the food you eat.

But you do need to find a really good shake you like. I had to stop buying and wasting my money on the Foo-Foo flavors and also invest a little more money into a good tasting brand of shake.

When I went cheap the drink tasted cheap.

I use unflavored because I'm not a sweet fan. I can mix it in Vitamin Water, Soup, yogurt, whatever. I don't like the artificial flavors of the powders, but sometimes I'll add vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon to an eas advantage vanilla shake for a snack.< /p>

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
