I seriously cannot stomach plain Protein shakes so I was happy to find a little shake recipe hand out at my Surgeons office. Its from Susan Maria Leach @ bariatriceating.com

The basic shake recipe is:

1/2 cupe skim milk, soy milk or Water

2 scoops of vanilla protein

1 cup of ice

flavoring/mix ins

I made the Peanut Butter cup one tonight and its the best Protein Shake Ive ever had! :tongue2: Ive had about half of the shake and Im full.

2 teaspoons of good quality cocoa powder

1 heaping tablespoon of whipped peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure/natural)

The paper has about 20 shakes so I'll be making my way through the list to help up my protein. I'll type them up to share.

whipped peanut butter?

I have a friend that swears by some of the recipes on the website for the sugar free syrups she adds to her Protein drinks!!!!

Here's a link: Check it out!!!!

DaVinci Gourmet Sugar Free Flavored Syrups

whipped Peanut Butter?

Yup. I found only one kind of whipped peanut butter. Not sure why it uses whipped over regular other than it does have a little fewer calories.

I bought the Hazelnut syrup but I havent tried it yet. I saw her mention german chocolate cake syrup (?) on bariatriceating.com

Today I had Grande Sugar-gree Hazelnut Latte.. it was okay.
