Alternatives to sweet tasting protein drinks.

I am not a sweets person, so all these protein drinks are really tough to get down.There doesnt seem to be any options other than chocolate , vanilla strawberry and a variety of juice type flavors. Any one else having this issue? I have zero regrets about the surgery, but I am concerned about having to get down these shakes for many years to come. Thanks!!!!

Just remember that if you are adding protein to anything hot, you should use a food thermometer to make sure it is under 130 degrees.

That is a GREAT idea! I am ok with sweets BUT sometimes i like a plain old bowl of soup and this is great to get the protein in!

oh I forgot to mention, there are protein soup mixes you can buy too:

I used the HealthSmart soups a fair amount. My favorites were cream of tomato, cream of broccoli, and cream of mushroom. A nice thing about these is that they are designed to be made with hot water or milk -- you can go over 130 degrees as long as the hot water is not boiling and the protein won't curdle.

I have the same issue. It's not that I wouldn't enjoy desserts but some of the protein drinks ARE too sweet. I have a supply that I have to use because it's too expensive to throw away. To the chocolate shake I added a teaspoon of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder. This helped a lot. To the vanilla, I add a teaspoon of cinnamon. Sounds like a lot but it tastes so much better that way.
