Thicker Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

I am trying to come up with ways to thicken my Protein shakes without adding lots of calories or sugar. I know that ice makes it thicker, but I also feel that it flattens out the flavor too. I currently add part of a banana, and I know some people use a little fat-free, sugar free pudding powder, or Thick-it. Does anyone have other suggestions?

Thanks!

Sometimes I add greek yogurt (or regular yogurt) for flavor and it also thickens the shake. I also add banana and Peanut Butter and that works too!

You could maybe try adding a little oat bran.

If you want a super thick shake, try Casein Protein Shakes. Any brand you want, I get mine from GNC. They are actually to drink before bed. It is a slow releasing Protein and keeps your body fueled through the night.

Mix chia seeds into it. Be careful, not too many. They do swell.

My husband makes me a great shake with quick oats, chocolate Protein Powder, fibre, and 1tbsp of peanut butter! Not only is it chocked with Protein but it definitely kills any cravings.

45-55 minutes in freezer makes a delicious smoothie out of Protein Shake.< /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.
