Decent tasting Protein shake mix



Recommended Posts

I was banded 4/8 have been using both the chocolate and vanilla EAS Sams has it very reasonable. I add 2 scoops to different recipes for Protein Shakes that are on line. One of my favorites is Chocolate, strawberry yogurt, and banana.. tastes like a banana split that has melted. Also adding different SF coffee flavorings I use DiVinci adds a different flavor. My dr and nutritionist just said experiment with flavors and fruits or other things that you like. Squash with pumpkin pie spice and sugar twin brown sugar is good to.

My sample pack of Syntrax Nectar just came in the mail, and I am really disappointed with the taste of the fruit juice flavors. So far I have tried the fuzzy navel and Twisted cherry flavors mixed with Water, and personally I found them awful! Maybe if they were mixed with soy milk they'd be better, but then again, I can't imagine drinking the iced tea flavor in milk!

My daughter tried the cappuchino flavored with soy milk, and said it it is pretty good.

So for now, I think I will stick with the Body Fortress brand from Walmart. They are cheap, have 26 grams of whey isolate Protein and taste really good!

I'm not a nectar fan, either. I tried so hard to like it (after all, when you have a huge canister, you really feel obligated to like it!) But I recently ditched what I had.

I found it wasn't horrible if I mixed it with Crystal Light. But it still wasn't good--and since I have limited stomach space, I really don't like choking down things I don't like!

(On a funny note, I transferred some of it into a regular Rubbermaid canister in my pantry, and my son used it in a Thanksgiving recipe instead of flour. I kind of wondered why his roux didn't thicken, but the recipe, overall, turned out okay. When I was cleaning up after him---grrr!---I realized that he hadn't used flour, but instead used Roadside Lemonade. Of course, he felt compelled to announce this to everyone at the dinner table. But I don't think anyone would have noticed otherwise!)

      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.
