Newfoundlove 95 Posted August 29, 2012 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! 4 MiistAMunK, MoreganK, TweetyBird and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!).

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.

Holly5.3 423 Posted September 10, 2012 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! 1 Newfoundlove reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
