I can't seem to get enough Protein in! The shakes are making me nauseous, and I'm not eating nearly enough real food to get it in otherwise. I recently bought unflavored Protein powder and tried making my own smoothie with fruit... But without any sugar added, it's petty ick. What are some good sleeve happy alternatives to sweeten it up without using sugar substitutes?

@@Basicwitch That's a fair amount of sugars for a Protein shake. Just be sure to consider that.

Totally! But you can drink it out of the bottle without worrying about adding fruits, etc., to make it palatable. It essentially evens out. Especially as the OP is having issues with not being able to handle shakes.

I personally couldnt do the shakes. I did them in the beginning but they made me nauseus. Substituted it with Protein bars and did much better. I didn't find ANY shake that was tolerable after a couple of tries. Hardest thing ever.

You can make Protein Fraps

coffee

chocolate flavored protein from GNC

I add vanilla stevia to mine

I also put in half a oikos triple zero vanilla yogurt

Dang tastey, and I like the energy boost.

I know I have the same problem. I found nectar fuzzy navel flavor tastes near to tang or light OJ and it blends well, not an after taste and does mix with crystal light lemonade or orange very well. Vitaminshoppe is where I got mine. They also have packets you can try. :-)

Try adding 2-3 tbsp of sf pudding mix to ur smoothie/shake

I just found Dannon Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt and it has 22 G Protein per 8 oz. It will help me cut out a shake a day. I can't eat a whole cup in one sitting but spread out over the day is perfect or even adding to a smoothie!

The only oikos triple zero I can find is 15 grams protein in a single. I think about 6 oz. What are the ones with 23 grams?

I didn't know Triple Zero existed and I love that it's sweetened with Stevia. Thanks for the suggestion!

I love triple zero yogurt! What flavor has that much Protein? I think mine is around 16g.

It is just vanilla. It's a 32 oz container. I'm guessing if y'all are buying the individual cups they don't have 22 g of Protein because they aren't a full 8 oz. the container is black and has an NFL logo on it. I got it at my local walmarts.

Premier Protein shakes.

In order to meet my Protein goals each day, I have to supplement with either a protein "shake" or Protein Bar.

If you are looking for a high quality, great tasting, satisfying Protein powder that is better than anything you will find in the stores, then this is the product you want to purchase. You can't go wrong, especially since they'll refund your money if you aren't pleased with the product. Also, a dietitian is always available by phone to assist you not just with their product, but with any other dietary questions you may have.

I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein Powders which were recommended to me by a friend. After reading most of the reviews of each of the products I was interested in, I decided to give it a try. I have been quite impressed with the flavor and quality of the chocolate Splendor and the chicken flavored mixes. Both taste great and mix up easily. I've been using the Chocolate Splendor mixed with milk for my Breakfast and the Chicken flavor mixed with some chicken bouillon for my lunch. You just have to watch the Water temperature when preparing the Chicken flavor otherwise the whey will clump. It doesn’t change the taste, just the texture which can be weird. Both are quite filling and satisfying. I have tried the strawberry Sorbet mixed with lemonade also, and liked the taste, but need to work on the amounts mixed together to fine tune the beverage to better suit my taste for Strawberry Lemonade. I've also tried the unflavored powder mixed with milk when I ran out of the chocolate. The milk still tasted like milk, and it was okay, but I did not like it as well as I do the Chocolate Splendor mixed with milk.

Most of my protein beverages are just shaken up; I do not use a blender or make them frozen for simplicity and time sake.

Some of my favorite flavor combinations are:

1. Vanilla Protein Powder, SF Sunrise Orange drink (it’s like an orange Dreamsicle)
2. ½ serving Vanilla PP, ½ serving Chocolate Splendor PP ,4 oz. brewed coffee, chilled, 4 oz. skim milk
3. Chocolate Splendor PP, 8 oz. skim milk, 1 or 2 servings PB2
4. ½ serving Vanilla PP, ½ serving Chocolate Splendor, 8 oz. skim milk
5. Chicken PP with less than a serving of chicken bouillon mixed with 8-10 oz. water at 140 degs.

I hate all of the Protein powders! H.A.T.E. them! I just ordered GENEPRO on Amazon... hoping for the best. I'm three months out and starting to have hair loss... because I haven't been getting in the protein. Hoping that this one does the trick. I have a vast collection of protein powders right now. None of them are tolerable. I have started forcing them down and am having very unpleasant run to the ladies room episodes. It's not just my palate that doesn't like that Damn Protein!

Disclaimer: I haven't been tracking my foods, and I'm getting back on track with that too. It seems impossible to get enough protein just from food when I get full on such a small amount, but I'm sure I can get there.
