I'm almost done with the full luquid stage but i went from having no problems with getting all my protein in with shakes to now I can barely get one down. I'm not a big sweets person and all the sweet drinking is really getting to me. Anyone have good ideas for puree stage on getting protein in where I don't have to drink as many sweet shakes?

V8? I have no idea what protein powder would o to that but....

I've been thinking myself how to get creative with Protein when the time comes. Because I'm a savory person more so than sweets, and I know I'll get sick of the sweet drinks as well.

An idea I thought of for a puree is made with split peas. If you like pea Soup maybe try this. I'm going to

Make some split pea soup, cooked real long until it's real mushy and not too thick. Add some extra chicken base for extra flavor if desired. Take it and put in a Ninja single serve or a Magic Bullet. Add an addition scoop of unflavored pea protein (a very good source of protein!). NOW makes a good pea protein. Whizz it up until it's pureed, add more or less pea protein to desired consistency. Would make a nice hearty savory (and hopefully satisfying) protein rich thick soup.

I think it would be pretty good!

Unjury chicken broth found online.

Called GNC store they have unflavored protein powder 25g/serving so I'm gonna get that and put it in everything I eat

Unjury chicken broth. It can be found online. You also could purchase their unflavored and make your own flavor smoothies.

Ok thanks. I'll look into that

I hate sweet, milky drinks. I'm still pre-op and am allowed creamy/puréed Soups. I've been eating things like Pacific Organic Cashew Carrot Ginger soup or Butternut Squash soup with some Syntrax nectar unflavored Protein powder, or Imagine Organics Creamy Broccoli soup mixed with unjury cheese flavored protein. These are on average $2-3 per box of soup, and each have a little more than three 8oz. servings. It works best if you reserve a little of the cool soup to mix the protein, then when completely mixed, add your protein-filled portion to the heated bit. If you add Protein Powder to hot soup, it gets lumpy.

For the occasional change up, I also mix the unflavored into cottage cheese or into Water with a Crystal Lite packet. It stays thin and doesn't have that awful whey smell.

I also like the Unjury chicken soup protein, and while I find it tastes fine mixed alone in warm water, I think it would be delicious prepared with warm broth.
