Protein Drinks Are So Sweet!

[twoolley 141]

I'm not a sweets kind of guy to begin with. I got to this weight because I would rather have extra fries or more mexican food than a dessert. I am drinking 2 Protein drinks a day by Pure Protein and they're so sweet I can barely take them anymore.

The chocolate one was tasty for a while but now I'm choking it down to get my protein. The vanilla ones are like drinking cupcake batter & I can barely stand it. The thought of having to drink it this afternoon makes me want to puke.

Does anyone out there make savory Protein Drinks? Maybe a mildly sweet berry or something with Peanut Butter?

Please chime in if you've had this same issue!

You can buy powdered Peanut Butter online, called PB2. It has less caloriesand fat. I add it to my vanilla shakes, or I use an unflavored powder by Now Sports and add the PB2. You can also add the unflavored to any broth, puree or yogurt. When mixing it with hot liquids it may clump at first, but keep stirring and it will get mixed in.WARNING: DO NOT PUT liquid CONTAINING Protein Powder IN THE MICROWAVE, IT WILL BOIL OVER QUICKLY!! Also, I hear Unjury makes a good chicken Soup, but I have never tried it.

Unjury makes a chicken Soup Protein powder. Tastes like ramen broth. Also I have mixed hemp protein with spicy hot V8

Hemp Protein I am not familiar with. Is it a different flavor from whey based Proteins? To me the whey proteins always end up giving a milky flavor.

Yes, hemp is totally different than whey. Whey is derived from milk, whereas hemp is a plant. HP isn't soluble like whey is. It gets suspended in whatever it is mixed in.

My favorite way to drink it is mixed into a 50/50 mixture of mango pure & Water. But that's still sweet.

Great suggestions! I hate sweet stuff too but have resorted to unflavored Protein powders but I am definitely interested in trying that Peanut Butter one and I keep meaning to give Unjury a try. Thanks for the post!

Where are you purchasing your hemp Protein?

I find the cans to be very sweet also. I did find that the powered version of the Frosty chocolate Pure Protein was much less sweet.

Thanks! Looked it up - can find it just up the road at Whole Foods. Sounds healthier than whey and soy. Now its on my list of 'must haves' for the stock pile I'm going to build over the next few months as I move toward the surgical process. I'm hoping to do this as much as possible without buying into the "bariatrics specialty marketing" .

I just tried Muscle Milk for the first time. I was traveling and ran out of my supply.

It was DISGUSTING!!! So incredibly sweet. I could barely choke it down.

Ugh

Roadside Lemonade from Syntrax... its what helped me through the "OMG I'm sick of drinking thick sweet things." phase.
