Protein Drinks-Finally Found A Solution!

[Forensikchic 528]

Okay, so I could not stomach Protein Shakes after surgery. I became lactose intolerant early on and even the lactose free muscle milk cramped my stomach and gave me diahrea. I bought Unjury unflavored to try to hide it in yogurt and such.. .No luck. I hated everything I tried and wasted a lot of money. FINALLLLY... today I found an answer that is working for me. Orange Juice! I had bought some heartwise OJ to help lower my cholesterol and didnt want to waste it so I put a half scoop in a half cup. I had to put it in the blender to mix it smooth but it was good! NO taste. So I added the other half of each to make a whole cup and blended that. It got a little frothy but it still tasted like OJ to me and I drank it all no problem. No diahrea and it didnt cramp my tummy. I will be making this orange juice in a travel coffee mug and sipping it on the way to work each day. SO EXCITED to finally figure out how to get my Protein in! WOOOHOOO! Thought I would share!

I just solved my problem with unjury unflavored as well! (I had been doing great with Protein until my 4th week.)

For variety consider this alternative.

1/2 cup Orange juice , 1/2 cup Lactaid skim milk, 1 splenda, a little vanilla and a scoop of the Unjury Unflavored. ( No ice for me. ) I mix all ingredients except the Oj. Then I add the OJ and blend it some more. It doesn't curdle the milk this way. 1/4 banana or a few strawberries is yet another variety. (these are not my recipes- I read somewhere on this website)

I think OJ is the key. I tried adding it to 8 ounces warm chocolate milk and could only drink half of it. I got too full and had that yucky feeling again. Let me know if you "discover" anything else. :-)

Do you put it in the blender? How much Water? I just put it in the blender with 8 ounces of water and it "puffed" up to about 20 ounces. (I haven't tasted it yet. I am letting it sit for a bit).

I found out the hard way that the Tropico50 reduced calorie orange juice is nasty and doesnt work for this. The better quality OJ you use, the less you taste the Protein. Needs to be good brand kinda thick OJ. I dont have to use my blender any more. I got one of those shaker cups from tupperware and I just put it in there and shake it well and then I pour it in an insulated cup with a straw. The straw is awesome because it doesnt matter then if it froths up, you are drinking off the bottom and it tastes just like regular OJ. The cup I have is from tmobile and has a screw on lid with a straw kinda built in. You dont smell the protein this way either. I ordered some more unflavored in a different brand. We shall see if it works as well. Ill let you know!
