I Spiced Up My Protein Shake!

[SleeveShelly 75]

I am getting so tired of the Protein Shakes already!!! Well this morning as I put my scoop of vanilla Protein Powder in my 8oz of milk, I started digging in my spice cabinet and spotted some cinnamon. Well wouldn't you know, it tastes fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have done that as well. I like to use the pumpkin pie spice that has cinnamon and nutmeg. So yummy. Another thing I like to do sometimes is to add a scoop of caffeine free instant coffee to my shakes. It's to die for!

What is PB2 please!

[SleeveShelly 75]

PB2 is powdered Peanut Butter. I found in the health market section of our grocery store. It is soooooo good!!!

PB2 has 45 calories and 5 grams of Protein, so once a day should be great. I bought some Torani sugar free syrups made with sucralose (not as healthy as PB2, but zero calories) i tried Peanut Butter and salty caramel in my Optifast, and it definitely yummed it up. I have vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon, white chocolate, and gingerbread flavors for oatmeal during my soft phase and for Breakfast afterwards. I had to buy a case of the assorted flavors on Amazon, but it was only 35 for 6 bottles.< /p>

PB2 is so good you won't be sorry, I buy mine on line...just google PB2 and their web site comes right up and its so much cheaper that way, I only buy the chocolate pb as it so good, I think much better than the plain. I don't think they charge tax and the shipping is good. I buy the one pd packages and just can't get enough of it. ENJOY!

U can also get it at HEB if u live in Texas . They have PB2 and pb2 with chocolate. Yum!

Sounds great everyone, thanks for the tips. I am in the "puree stage" and am still mainly drinking shakes because most everything I have pureed is nasty.

Have you tried pureeing a nice hearty homemade Soup? I'm still post-op- can we have pureed veggies or for example, minestrone Soup (no pasta), pureed while on this stage? I bought powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored whey Protein and it suggests adding it to Soups and fruit flavored Crystal light. Has anyone tried Soups w/ Protein powder during purée stage?
