Big Improvement On Protein Powders! Sf Hershey Syrup...

[Strangefruit 179]

Hi all... Today is Day 6 of my two week pre-op liquid Protein fast... I have been doing the pre-made shakes for work and when I am out and about... at home, I use the powder because I can mix it with ice cubes and make it a little thicker... but it still needed something. Today, I picked up some sugar free Hershey choc syrup... only 15 cal and 5 gr of carbs for two tablespoons. One squirt makes a HUGE difference in my choc shakes... MUCH more satisfying. Oh, and I use skim or almond milk (almond milk has only 40 cal for a cup) and it makes it more filling as well.

I alternate between the filling choc above, or I use the GNC mixed berry powder with 1 c. milk, about 4 ice cubes and 1/2 c. frozen mixed berries. The addition of the frozen berries and milk make it SO much more filling and satifying... I only do one shake a day like this though... my dinner one. Gives me something to look forward to while my family is eating pasta! )

That sounds good. I'm going to keep my eyes open for SF Syrup next time I'm at food Lion.

Dude, I totally spaced when you said Hershey's and I bought Smucker's SF Syrup. Smucker's has 23 grams of carbs for one serving and I can only have 45 grams of carbs per DAY.

On the bright side, my fiance was eyeing the syrup, so I'll just let him eat it and find the Hershey's next time.
