Hi all! I had a group meeting recently with the dietitian at my doctors office to discuss the liver reduction diet. The dietitian made the suggestion to add a teaspoon of sugar free pudding to the shake to add more flavor. I must say this is the answer to making these shakes decent. So far I got chocolate, vanilla, banana cream and lemon pudding for my shakes.

Just thought I would share this for those who are struggling with protein shakes because they are generally not very good. I know when I first tried the shakes all the flavors tasted the same.

Now I finally have the answer and feel way more prepared to start the liver reduction diet this Saturday!

That's a great trick, I haven't done that in ages.

Da Vinci also makes some good sugar free syrups you can add to your shakes for some variety (as sugar free pudding only comes in a handful, da Vinci has like 60+ flavors)

Another option is to just make sugar free protein pudding, which is basically the exact same ingredients (assuming you're using milk) just now you can eat it.

I use Torani Sugar Free Syrups. My fave is to make a frappucino - 1 cup cold coffee, scoop of vanilla protein powder, chocolate and caramel sugar free syrup. Ice. Blend.

Another is to use chocolate protein powder, 1 scoop of PB2, a shot of caramel sugar free syrup and water. Add ice, blend. Snickers shake.

I am gonna give this a try.
