Individual powdered shake recommendations?



Recommended Posts

Hi - I am looking for some assistance. I will be traveling through Europe for the month of June- and want to try to find a Protein Shake powder that comes in indiv. Packets. Have you found any you really like? I usually use pure Protein or premier shakes to get my protein as I haven’t moved to soft food yet, but an thinking it may be good to make sure i have something I can eat if finding options proves tough. I will be four months out when we leave. Trying to keep packing light.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or other travel tips!

yes - individual packets are perfect for traveling. I used to get a box or two of individual packets from Syntrax, but last time I got this at costco. They're fine - although any fruit-flavored Protein powders (including the Syntrax ones) I mix with an individual packet of Crystal Light lemonade, too. I think they taste better that way (but that may just be my personal preference)

Unjury sells sample packs. Their selection varies with time but they usually have some good ones. In case you are wondering, I have tried the Moonbeam Mist and it is okay, which is high praise from someone who hates Protein Drinks. 😎

I use Unjury. I mostly use the unflavored, but I liked the Moonbeam Mist and the chicken Soup (I drink that when I get a salt craving). Didn't care for the French Onion, but I think that will be good added to other foods later. There are other flavors I'll eventually try. I wish BariatricEating had individual servings because they have a lot of flavors and I'd love to try them with a little less money at risk if I don't like it.

I'm not sure what the TSA's opinion is on this, but when I travel by car I use little plastic cups with lids to pre-portion my Protein powders. I think the ones I use are sold as "jello shot cups" but they're basically the same sort of thing you'd get a little serving of dressing or ketchup with a takeout order. That way, you don't have to spend a bunch of money on pre-packaged containers and can use your usual product.

Most Protein companies offer "sample" servings. *Individually packed servings* Some even offer 'sample packs" with a bunch of different flavors. If you have a brand you like, just look up their website and you will find them. Or, even just google " Protein Powder variety pack" or something like that and I am sure you will find something.

I have used Unjury, which I know sell them. That is the only one I can think of off the top of my head right now though.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
