Alternatives to sweet tasting protein drinks.



Recommended Posts

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!!!!

Unjury's chicken Soup protein:

Use unflavored Protein and stir it in to beef broth, creamy soup, or miso or egg drop soup.

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
