I also love the DaVinci sugarfree syrups!!! My favorite right now is the Hazelnut added to a vanilla Protein Drink. Sometimes I add a little instant coffee and make my own frappacino. I am actually wanting to try the sugarfree pudding added to a Protein drink, sounds good and I have never tried it!

__________________________________________________

Protein shake recipes. Protein shakes are needed to get adequate amounts of Protein after surgery. We have specific products that we recommend, but remember that if you do not like the taste of your shake you are less likely to drink it. The following recipes and tips may help you improve the taste of your shake.

Simple Shake (28 grams protein)

1 scoop vanilla whey Protein powder (20 grams protein)

8 ounces fat-free milk

Mix well in shaker cup or blender.

Banana/Peanut Butter Shake (12 grams protein)

8 ounces fat-free milk

1 tablespoon creamy Peanut Butter

1/4 - 1/2 banana

Blend until smooth in blender.

Orange Dreamsicle (28 grams protein)

1 scoop vanilla whey Protein Powder (20 grams protein)

1 scoop (individual serving) sugar-free Sunrise Orange Crystal Lightâ powder

8 ounces skim milk

Alternatives: substitute 4 ounces orange juice for 4 ounces milk; substitute 4 ounces yogurt for 4 ounces milk; add 1/2 tsp. orange zest to shake.

Hot Cocoa (13 grams protein)

1 tablespoon Splenda

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons dried milk powder

8 ounces non-fat milk

Dash salt

Blend Splenda, unsweetened cocoa, dried milk powder and salt in large mug. Blend in milk, stirring until dissolved. Microwave 1 minute on high or until hot. Can also heat in saucepan on stove.

Tips for Protein Shakes.< /strong>

  • <LI class=copy>Use flavorings such as vanilla, almond and coconut extracts to improve flavor. <LI class=copy>coffee added to chocolate-flavored protein powder makes a mocha-flavored shake. <LI class=copy>Bananas, strawberries and Peanut Butter add the most flavoring to shakes. <LI class=copy>Unflavored cocoa powder can be added for a deeper chocolate flavor without adding fat. <LI class=copy>Freeze milk in ice cube trays to make milk cubes. Blend these with your shake to make it icy cold and to add protein without diluting your shake. <LI class=copy>If you are lactose intolerant, you can use Lactaid milk or soy milk to add protein to your shake.
  • Yogurt can be added to shakes to increase creaminess and protein.

SOOO glad I looked here!! I almost gave up!! I got ahead of myself when I was banded (3/7/08) and bought two huge containers of Isopure. One chocolate and one vanilla. I tried the chocolate twice and was sooo mad! its NASTY!! nothing I did to "doctor" it up helped! I thought I wasted my money! Now I can retry with these recipes!!

The Vanilla is great you cant go wrong with Vanilla that is what it is.. can't be altered to you KNOW what its gonna taste like.. Chocolate is always a crap shoot. Anyway thanks everyone.... heres my contribution...

Vanilla Powder

a few chunks of Frozen Mango chunks(Trader Joes)

a little splenda and a 1/4 Tbls creamy Pb

YUMMM

I use the Biochem whey Protein powder natural. I get it from a healthfood store here in Memphis. I've looked on the internet too and it is sold at different sites. The nice thing is it has twice the protein of the flavored powders per scoop and two full scoops make it even creamier. I like that.:)

      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.
