What Do You Use In Your Protein Shakes?

[stellabug321 51]

Hi all, I am just about about to start mixing up my own shakes but wondering what to use?

Milk, Water, ice or yogurt! I stopped drinking them cause I couldn't stand the taste, but got to find a way to get in the Protein, cause I've been trying to get in with food and its not doing the job!

If the powder doesn't work ill be making a trip to costco cause I hear the that they are great!

Thanks

I add a tsp of sugar free, fat free instant pudding to mine. The taste is wonderful. Especially the lemon, banana cream ! Yummy. I'm on day 4 of 14

Also like unsweet almond milk with the powder. Water made it to frothy for me.

I haven't had my surgery yet but I have been experimenting LOL... I really like the body fortress whey isolate vanilla that you can get at Walmart, its a huge container and one scoop is 60gms of pure 90% protien. This is what I do and it tastes like a shake ( I have a ninja )

1/2 scoop powder

1C unsweetened almond milk 40cals

6 ice cubes

Torani syrups any kind sugar free- optional

cinnamon-optional

instant coffee-optional

3-5 drops stevia-optional

frozen strawberries (or any frozen fruit)-optional

I also like Fage' greek yogurt with any frozen fruit a few drops of stevia and you have a high protien ice cream!

but with this you have to have a ninja to do it

Good Luck Stella!

Thanks guys, I'm 3 months out and struggling with food and fluid!

I vowed yesterday to start over again, I've lost 56 pounds including pre-op and on a major stall! Ill give them all a try and see what I like!

I use 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 tsp. sugar free butterscotch instant pudding mix and I tblsp. of no sugar added natural Peanut Butter. shake it up in my shaker cup, pour into an irish coffee glass and top with lite whipped cream. Pretty tasty, but I think more than one a day and it might be too "sweet"...

If I've I had a bad day and I. for get to eat I'll make a vanilla Protein Shake and throw in a sugar free yogurt black cherry with I've it's sooooo good...or chocolate shake with a tsp of PB2

[stellabug321 51]

Mmm that sounds good... I shall try all of these, today I bought strawberry flavored soy milk, I'm gunna try that in them as well, my boyfriend couldn't drink enough of it said it was pretty good! It has 9 grams of Protein in a cup, is that good? Also has any one tried the soy milk and how does it agree with your sleeve?

Where do you buy the PB2 and the Torani sugar free syrups?

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

I use soy milk and it works fine for me. I switch between soy and skim milk just for variety. My sleeve likes both.

Where do you buy the PB2 and the Torani sugar free syrups?

I have only seen PB online at Amazon. Maybe someone else has an idea.

Cost Plus World Market has a HUGE selection of Torani sugar free syrups! I actually picked up four today. Salted Caramel, pumpkin Pie, French vanilla and Peach. Someone has also mentioned a store called Cash N Carry, not sure about them only because I have never been!

My sleeve doesn't like skim milk. I have found that Silk soy milk is great and my family likes it also. For Protein powder, I really like the Unjury chocolate splendor the best. The only problem is its pricey and you have to order it online.

Great idea about the sugar free syrups. Sam's club carries these syrups right beside the coffee supplies. The brand that I use is DaVinci Gourmet. This brand is sweetened with Splenda. I think I will try the Kahlua flavor in some vanilla Protein powder. Thanks for the great idea!

I bought my PB2 at the grocery store. It was in the health market section.
