Smoothie King

[TN_girl21 1]

Do any of yall ever get smoothies from smoothie King?? I'm in need of a quick Breakfast. I'm so tight in the mornings that I can't eat. And Protein Shakes are making me sick (literally).

We don't have one of those where I am. I am so tight in the morning too that even the Protein ends up coming back up. I end up eating breakfast around 11:30 or 12 Noon. I just know I can't get anything down, so what's the point in irritating everything and screwing up my day LOL!

Nice to know there are others out there that aren't able to eat in the morning. I'm used to it now, but good to know I'm not the only one.

You definitely aren't the only one! lol What sucks is, I am hungry in the mornings. I just can't eat! lol I got a smoothie today from there with 36 grams of Protein and around 280 calories.

It would be nice if they are good for you, I always considered them a milkshake in disguise. I am assuming from your description that you had this.

Because this smoothie does not contain turbinado as an ingredient, it cannot be made skinny.

Can anyone with a nutritional background tell us if this is good for us or not? Can we use this as a meal, maybe?

That's the one I got! I got the 20 oz as well, and didn't add anything to it. And before I got the band as was dieting on my own, I was drinking one of these a day, and was losing weight. So, maybe I can start having these for breakfast.

BTW, it was very filling. I couldn't finish it all at once. I drank it at 9:00 am and got hungry around 1:00.

Smoothie King gladiator is my shake of choice. My surgeon recommended it. But make sure you get the gladiator (some of the others ones are like someone else said...milkshake in disguise). you don't have to get it "skinny" cause it is totally healthy. It has 45 grams of Protein too! I buy them some mornings and I also buy the big powder tub from them. I like the strawberry more than vanilla and chocolate. when I make it, I add frozen (unsweet) strawberries or blueberries. I never use milk cause my surgeon is against it. If I'm feeling "naughty" I add a tablespoon of peanutbutter to it. yummy!!! I lost 21 pounds on my preop using this shake.

arn't smoothie's just protien shakes? with optional flavors, I found a site that sells a variety of of Protein flavors, but also need a small hand held mixer, shakers just dont get the powder taste gone.

I like OPTIMUM NUTRITION 100% whey Protein - Gold Standard Mocha Cappucino "have not yet tossed one down the sink"

also I lost 50lbs drinking these before my surgery in 2 1/2 months

try this site, several flavors Optimum Nutrition whey Protein | Optimum Nutrition Protein shake

I do Robek's because I found most of the Smoothie King shakes scary(up to 2700 calories). They will make any combo of shake for me, and are awesome:)
