make your own protein shots or Isopure??



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any place where I could buy powder or Liquid Protein to mix with my own crystal light or maybe Jello etc to make my own Protein Shots.< /p>

What do they use to make Isopure or the shots?

I am on a tight budget but need to increase Protein. I am so tired of shakes and the powder mixes. I like the protein shots but they are so expensive, I would need at least 1 a day and even with the ones posted at BOGO, I would need to spend over $30 to get that amount. $30 a month in addition to what I have to spend on meats to get my protein is just not going to happen.

Now I know how I got so heavy, Pasta and carbs are so much cheaper than protein. I am on disability but make too much for food stamps so I am having a hard time making ends meet.

I got Walmart when I do not want to spend a lot of money--they have a six pack for about $9. Yes it is expensive to eat healthy. I have always gained my most when I have had the less money.

Unjury has an unflavored powder that mixes nicely with Jello, they also have a strawberry sorbet flavor that mixes with Water and I add a crystal light packet to it--yummy strawberry lemonade! It is not inexpensive, but it is high in protien 20 grams per scoop.

I mix unflavored Protein w/ crystial light, but the powder is still pretty expensive. I think 15 servings is around $20 so I don't know that it is any cheaper.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
