The Absolute Best Protein Shake



Recommended Posts

I have finally found the best Protein Shake. I've been experimenting with making different shake recipes. I made this one for my morning shake today and I loved it!

214 Calories (which is fine for me as I try to get 200 for breakfast)

18 carbs (same as above, the majority of my carbs come in the morning)

3 grams fat

32 grams Protein

49 grams of Calcium (this is big for me!)

14 grams of sugar - a little high but the sugar is mostly from the fruit and yogurt

1/2 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk

1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (I used Chobani)

1 scoop chocolate Protein Powder (I used Unjury Chocolate Splendor)

4 small Strawberries, halved

2 T. Torani sugar-free vanilla Syrup

4 Ice Cubes

Blend in Magic Bullet or Blender and Enjoy!

This sounds so delish! I wouldn't think coconut milk was allowed- I love coconut! Do you have any recipes using extracts and unflavored protein powder? My nut gave me samples of "Bariatric Advantage" and the unflavored was the best- you can really taste whatever you add, like strawberries and I used pumpkin pie spice for a fall-ish taste (even though it's still hot and humid in NY!).

My NUT said Coconut Milk is great. It's not really sweet or anything. It's also not the condensed kind like you buy for cooking. I only use flavored Protein Powder, and only powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand as that's the brand I like. I also use Unjury's chicken broth flavor in Soups and recipes calling for chicken broth. Good source of Protein.

I make a pumpkin shake with pumpkin, the pumpkin spice, vanilla protein powder and some sugar free Torani syrup! It's. Good too.

I just froze some banana slices and I'm going to try a chocolate shake with banana, Greek yogurt, and vanilla Syrup for tomorrow's Breakfast I'll let you know how it comes out.

Thanks for recommending Unjury Protein Shakes- I wanted to order my 3 week Pre-op supply. I called the 800 number and the sales person was so helpful- explaining what whey protein is, providing me samples of other flavors and recipes. I had no idea what the health and weight loss benefits were from whey protein! Now I know! Thanks!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
