Silk Fruit And Protein Drink



Recommended Posts

I bought some Silk's fruit and Protein drink, strawberry/banana, Yum! I mixed it with one of those nasty, taste like cough Syrup, "Super Protein Shots, " added four ounces of 1% milk and it tastes like a fruit smoothie. Best of all it's 35 grams of protein..Yaah!

Super Protein shot 26 grams protein..120 cals..0 carbs

1% low fat milk 4 grams protein .. 50 cals..12 carbs

Silk Fruit & Protein 5 grams protein....130 cals..19 carbs

I've got some really bad news for you.

Those Protein shots are completely useless. The Protein they use is collagen/ Gelatin. It is not usable by the human body.

I've been curious about those new Silk drinks. I'll have to pick some up and try them. I think I'll try mixing in some unflavored or vanilla Unjury into them. Mmm... now I'm thinking I need to hit the grocery store after work.

Get Out!

I bought them months ago, and they've been sitting in my fridge. I tried one, and it tasted like liquid Jello, uggh! So why do they sell them?

Protein shots are considered a supplement. Therefore they are not regulated by the FDA. The FDA requires all foods & drugs that use this type of Protein to print on the label "not a significant source of protein".

Trust me, you are not the first person to to fall victim to their misleading packaging. I kinda feel like a broken record because this comes up prettymuch weekly on this forum.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
