Apple Peanut Butter Protein Shake

[Kindle 8,667]

Apples and Peanut Butter have always been a favorite snack of mine. Post op it's been apples and PB2. So I thought I'd be clever and create an apple peanut butter Protein Shake. Mixed Syntrax Nectar Apple Ecstasy and PB2. Tried several different versions with varying the amounts of the two ingredients. They all sucked! And smelled like puke. Beware! Do not try this at home.

Maybe try blended apples or applesauce with a vanilla powder or just almond milk and unflavored powder

We blend apples in our smoothies all the time. I'm surprised it didn't work out for you. Try it with a bit of vanilla Protein Powder. I often add PB to smoothies as a treat. I LOVE PB in smoothies. Good Luck!

My go-to for experimental shakes is Vanilla Cake Batter by Celebrate Bariatric Products. I bought it online. I also throw in a little extra vanilla and sweetener to suit my taste. Yesterday I used it for a Protein shake with mixed berries. I think you have inspired me to try one with banana and some dark chocolate. Hmmmmm.

I actually love PB2 in my vanilla and chocolate shakes. And I also blend apples in my smoothies. But boy, the combo I described was not a hit.

Miss Mac.... One of my favorite shakes is Premier Protein chocolate mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with skim milk and 1/2 large banana (or one small one). Over 40g Protein and Tastes just like the milkshakes my dad made when I was little.

OK, I'm dense....what's PB2?

PB2 is a powdered Protein product that needs to be reconstiuted with Water. It does not have the fat that Peanut Butter has. You can find it online. They also make a powdered chocolate product. I will look up the web address. I think only the manufacturer sells it.

On this other note about Premier Chocolate: My first job in 1969 was as a donut finisher at Dunkin Donuts. My favorite was the chocolate frosted banana cream filled. I guess it doesn't matter now since they haven't had them on the menu for years.

The website for the PB2 manufacturing plant is: www.bellplantation.com. Apparently it is being distributed elsewhere now. Some people really, really like it, but I wasn't impressed. Maybe buy just one jar to start with until you see how it goes over in your house.
