Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

I used to work at a gym and we made shakes for the weight lifters... they were delcious..

2 - 3 scoops of frozen strawberries (about like an ice cream scoop size)

1/2 banana

1 cup ice

1 scoop of Protein powder

1/2 cup skim milk

Blend in a strong ice crushing blender!

It's pretty tasty and refreshing! We got the frozen strawberries by the gallon at sams club

I hated every Protein mix I tried, so I stick with Slim Fast powder. The new one is low carb. I add skim milk, crushed ice, and a scoop of Knox Bone and Joint Powder (extra protein). Then I whiz the whole thing in my Magic Bullet. If you like a sweeter drink, add some Equal.

A Favorite Summertime Shake:

3/4 c. light cranberry cocktail

1 orange, peeled

1/2 banana

opt. any berry that would fit in (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry)

1 carton vanilla sf/ff yogurt

nutmeg (just a sprinkle)

ice

Whir in the blender. You could add extra Protein powder (maybe vanilla flavor). This is a great blend and go drink! :gluck:

I found that the unjury powder was very icky. My best bet for Protein powder is Carb Solutions Meal Replacement powder (Safeway/TomThumb) or something called Six Star that I get at Walmart. Either one is quite palatable mixed with anything. I use vanilla and chocolate, depending on what I am mixing with.

If you start with better tasting Protein Powder, the shakes will be more doable.

Good Luck!

      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.
