Why do protein powders have to take up so much space!



Recommended Posts

I have four types of Protein Powder and a very small kitchen. And of course, each of the Protein powders came in a freaking huge jug or giant bag. They should come up with a more convenient way of storing them. If you get any variety at all (I don't want to drink the same shake every single day), you wind up using all of your counter space!

I know how you feel. My pantry is overflowing with bulk purchases from Sams.

It is bulky. What I do is have an automatic shipment from Unjury every month. It kind of helps with storage. I do only get two flavors, though.

Just a suggestion.

Been there... done that. Have you tried Vacum Sealers Sears.com

This might free up some counter space for you and allow yourself more room :).

Let me know if this helps.

of course you would need to be careful not to suck the protien powder in the machine. In this case you might try double bagging with a ziplock. ... Maybe this is not such a good idea.

You could always send some of the Peanut Butter chocolate to me!

I keep my jugs in the closet and have a few gallon size ziplock bags that I keep in the kitchen. When the bag gets low I refill from the closet.

What about buying nice containers for the countertop?

That way they are where you need them but look pretty

Ideally, that's what I'd do, but I live in an apartment with very limited counter space. And I'm a packrat, so my counter's already full.:guess

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
