I hate them, hate them, hate them. I don't like sweets, for one thing. (If they made a nacho-chip flavored protein shake, it might be different!) I hate the aftertaste, the grittiness, etc. etc. etc.

ARGH.

*sulking a little bit while trying to drink this @#$% protein shake*

I hate them in the spring
I hate them in the fall
I think I hate them most of all .
I'd pour them in a dish and give them to Rover
Please let this pre and post surgery diet be soon over!

For cheese lovers .... my go to snack/small meal that I crave.

Laughing cow cheese wedge on 34 degree crackers. One wedge on 5 crackers is only 63 calories, but tastes decadent.

Yum. I'm totally trying this.

There are chicken protein shakes from Unjury for those looking for a savory taste versus the sweet.

What did everyone think of our I hate Protein Shake Poetry??

I’m ok with protein shakes but sometimes I need something savory. My saving grace had been bone broth with some soy sauce, garlic and a few drops of sesame oil, I then add some non flavored protein and then thicken it with some corn starch.

I loved it. I was cracking up and agreed.
The Rover was the funniest as just the other day my cat knocked my protein drink on the floor and my dog sniffed it and turned her nose up at it. I was like “Wow, I’m drinking something my animals want no part of. And they have no problem eating most things. They are smarter than me.” Lol

Get the unflavoured Protein Powder and put it in your regular drinks and Soups, you can put it in anything you eat, yogurt, tea, whatever. Has NO taste but the Protein is there. Have you tried that?

I'll try it. thanks!

What kind of unflavored protein powder do you use? I’ve been wondering about using it. It really doesn’t change the flavor of food?

Hi @annie93. I have posted the link from this website of the protein powder I use. Its expensive but its 30G of protein per scoop which saves you money in the long run because you get more protein so that you don't have to use more scoops as other brands which have less protein per scoop. Plus I do find that it has no flavor and does not change the taste. The only thing I have noticed is that it does not blend as well in hot items. You have to make a paste with it and then add the hot to it. But it works perfectly in cold or room temperature drinks. You have to mix the protein up really well as soon as you add it to your drink because otherwise if you leave it for a bit it will form little protein flecks. I mix my daily drink at the beginning of the day with 2 1/2 scoops of this particular protein powder and that is my entire protein quota for the day right there. perfect! Buy some and give it a try - I am sure you will be pleased

Genepro does not have 30g of protein per scoop. They were actually sued (and lost) for making this (and other) false claims. I would never be comfortable supporting, or ingesting products from a company that is as blatantly deceitful to claim to have 30g of protein in 15g volume.
