Decent tasting Protein shake mix



Recommended Posts

I prefer MaxProtein from GNC, chocolate is my favorite, tastes like a yoo-hoo to me! But I will warn always drink from a cup with a lid, it smells terrible! lol

A relatively inexpensive alternative to the traditional Protein Shakes is something that has worked for me for a few months.

I buy the no-sugar added carnation instant breakfasts in vanilla. I use 1 % milk and a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder by fusion. I find that the Fusion does not taste like anything at all. I then add either a splash of vanilla extract or some pumpkin pie spice to the mix, along with ice and shake vigorously. Ends up being about 35 grams of protein... Good luck!!

I bought a Magic Bullet blender. Love that thing. I freeze skim soy milk in ice cube trays. I add vanilla whey powder, a few frozen milk cubes and natural Peanut Butter. Very good. I also use Syntax nectar powder with fruit for smoothies.< /p>

Has anyone heard of designer whey? A friend of mine who had Lap band a few years ago said this tasted great...but wasn't sure if it was still a choice among bansters...any comments???

I have used the designer whey Protein before, and the only thing it was good for was putting fruit smoothies. Otherwise I thought it was terrible!!

I agree with Old School on the Premier Protein Pre-made shakes from costco. I have one every morning as it is tough for me to eat in the morning. I grab it as I walk out the door and drink it in the car on the way to work. It keeps me going until lunchtime and gives me 1/2 the Protein I need (minimally) for the day.

I also have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.. its "ok" to me, but everyone likes different things. I do think the chicken Soup flavor is a nice option to have rather than cold drinks all the time.

I am curious now about this chocolate Peanut Butter from Bariatric Eating though... might have to try it!

The only problem is they aren't nearly as filling as the whey Protein powder that I can get at Walmart.< /div>

I just picked up that jug of Protein Powder (the chocolate kind with 52 g of Protein. How is it?

I'm a huge fan of the Champion whey Protein Stack. They have tons of flavors my favorite is the Cookies and cream and the tropial sunsrise...each scoop is 26g of Protein

You can order samples of them at www.vitalady.com the samples are about $2 each so that's not too bad.

Does anyone also eat Protein Bars? I've been looking for a good one. I've orders a box of the pure Protein One to see if they are any good.

I had my surgery four years ago, and one of the toughest things is to find a liquid something to have post surgery and post fills days. You need to find something that tastes good, and is packed with nutrition. Also, good to find something that is all natural, not full of all that chemical stuff you see in some of the widely marketed stuff. I recently found a shake mix that is all of the above, and I wish I would have had it years ago. It is called Cinch. Comes in vanilla, choc. and strawberry. Very filling too. Send me a message and I can give you a link to read more about it. :scared2:

      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.
