Alternatives To Protein Shakes

[Jachut 487]

We dont get told to focus on Protein in Australia, and I dont like Protein Shakes, so quite simply, I never drink them. I never replaced that protein with anything other than three normal meals a day. I doubt I get 100 grams plus of protein a day, I dont count, but I lost weight, very successfully and have kept it off for a good couple of years. You just dont need to worry about it that much. Eat a balanced diet and you will get enough protein.

Post op, I did make smoothies with milk and fruit. Perhaps yogurt. You can always chuck an egg in tool.

_{My surgeon said NO Protein Shakes. After my pre-op diet, I did clears, then full liquid, then solids. He does not want me having liquid calories, period. So check with your surgeon, you might be stressing over shakes for nothing.}

_{I bought tons of the stuff getting ready for surgery based on what I had read here only to be told I'd not be using them. I ended up throwing them out. Now I have a shake once in a while if I am bored with my diet. I use one called Isagenix, you can order online. But it really comes down to individual taste.}

I use a bullet style blender and it works great getting the grit out. You have to add a little ice, for some reason it helps it mix up better. Good luck to you.
