Taste test for protein drinks and shakes.



Recommended Posts

So I wanted to let everyone know I have embarked upon a series of taste tests of various brands of ready made and powder form Protein drinks and shakes. I have at least a dozen small easy and fun to watch videos up with more every few days. If you would like, you can watch the videos on my blog at cuttingthefatwithaknife@BlogSpot.com , I do not get any money for this or any sponsors or any such thing, this is purely to help me get through all this and to hopefully help others by seeing what I go through. There are no ads or products or anything like that, purely just me to you. So check it out if you'd like, feel free to leave comments or put in your email and get updates as I post them. Thanks and remember we can all do this together!

if youre on a mac or an ipad you might have issues they play in adobe flash format.

let me get a list together for you. I starting a new product taste test tomorrow called abouttime, fill, shake and go. its a plastic bottle with the powder already inside you can carry it like that and then fill when you need one and toss it away when your done. its a neat idea and have 4 flavors to try . ill send you t the results as well.

Thank you so much for taste testing on video! :) I have done a little taste testing on my own and haven't found anything that is all that great. I keep hearing Isopure is good but I am very interested in the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I really want to know how the chicken Soup one tastes. I know it probably won't be comparable to say Campbell's chicken Noodle Soup (without the noodles, of course) but here's hoping. B)

I just bought a case of Isopure black tea with lemon and it doesn't taste bad at all. I mix it half and half with regular tea and over ice. Even my sister and hubby couldn't tell it was a Protein drink.

Hurray for isopure and not gagging over Protein anymore!

im ordering up some unjury this weekend so the taste test for those will be late next week.

If anyone has problems viewing my videos and wishes to see them, feel free to let me know along with an email or I can upload them to a fileshare site for you. email might work best but totally up to you.

Have a great Halloween, and we can all do this. We have the power!

I have tried the soup and it is not bad. It takes some minutes for it to all dissolve. The Water must not be over 140 degrees or the Protein will clump. Hope my taste buds still like it after surgery.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
