Protein shakes

So I had surgery on January 24 of this year, so I'm only a few days past but I was wondering if anyone knew of some different ideas or ways to drink or intake the Protein Powder or shake. I got the vanilla one and it's not horrible it taste like cake mix but it's so sweet it's hard for me to drink it all.

Fairlife and Premier shakes got me through my pre and post op diets. They all all kinds of flavors. If they're too sweet, you can always dilute them with almond milk.

Awesome I wasn't sure if I could use milk or not yet. Thank you

Fairlife is my go to. I especially like the Salted Caramel and if you shop at costco, they carry them. I find the Fairlife drinks just plain taste better than most other brands I've tried.

I also learned something cool, at least for me. If you like Lattes or cappuccinos, Fairlife will froth just like milk. (Premier Protein won't.) I froth half of one of Fairlife drinks and add that to my coffee of choice a few times a day.

Thanks I'll have to try it. I think this will be a good go to for me .

Try Protein hot cocoa. I found it much easier to drink warm beverages in my early post-op days than cold. The Bariatric Pal hot cocoa mix is delicious but you can get other brands of protein hot cocoa on Amazon.

I tried the Fairlife milk based on comments on here. I also like the OWYN vegetarian shakes. I tried the shakes warm and it was much easier to get down. I also like low sodium chicken Bone Broth. College has 10grams of Protein per cup if you can find it.
