Special K Protein Shake



Recommended Posts

I'v tried several Protein shakes including the Isopure and they are disgusting. The Special K ones are the only ones I've found that I don't have to choke down. I don't think Special K shakes are "cheap imitations", they are only 190 calories and yes only 10gm Protein but shouldn't be your daily staple food anyway. Bottom line you have to find the one that is right for you. No one can or should drink things they don't like.

The Special Protein Drink mix (just add to bottle of water) is only 30 calories and gives you 5gr of protein. I have to drink Water anyway. I like the pink lemonade flavor, personally.

Where do you get PB2 and I like the carnation Breakfast sugar free with 1% milk I know its not a super big amount of protien per packet but it tasts like chocolate milk. Not to thick and weird texturey I tryed a sample I got in the mail don't remember the brand and it was like sludgey consistancy yuck. Any one know other brands that come out like the carnation breakfasts do??

You can order PB2 online from the Bell Plantation website. I just finished another amazing shake flavored with PB2. YUM.

As many people here will tell you, there are PLENTY more great tasting Protein shakes other than the Carnation that are higher in Protein. Also, I have stopped with regular milk altogether and now I only use Unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk. Its much less in calories than the 1% and it adds great flavor. Depending on the type of shake there are so many different things to add to them to make them taste sexy. And with the Syntha 6 shakes from GNC, I don't even need to add anything if I don't want to.

Thanks everyone for your input! I do agree that those special K one's are not as hard to get down. I do believe that I was given a packet of that sythac's nectar one when I went to see my dietician, however I think I made it wrong, lol it exploded when I went to shake it up! :) what can i say I am not the smartest one of the bunch! lol Does anyone know where I can get some samples? Oh and NJSizzla, what is PB2 ?

you can order Syntrax Nectar online.. I order from DAMUSCLE.com. best price I found

I also use PB2 in Protein shakes. I like the chocolate version better (add it to chocolate shakes). The product is not that expensive but the shipping is high. I ended up buying twice as much as I had planned on because the shipping was only like 3 dollars more for 8 bottles than it had been for 4. I gave a reg and a chocolate to my sister.

For ready to drink I second that Premier Brand at Cosco is pretty good high in Protein and low in calories. As for powder I buy it at Vitamin Shoppe which is MUCH better price wise than GNC.

In regards to Protein Powder I use Gold Standard Double Chocolate whey and Dymatize Gourmet vanilla.< /p>

      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.
