mix fruit in protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

I just started my liquid diet yesterday drinking only Protein Shakes. My surgery is scheduled march 19. I was wondering if the second week after the surgery, when I start Protein shakes, if that would be to soon to mix fruit in the shakes. I havnt found a Protein Shake that I like without adding coffee or fruit?!?!

I doubt it! The fruit has peelings and seeds and lots and lots of simple sugar! Get some sugar free flavor syrups if you have to. There are tons of good protein shakes out there with no carbs when mixed with Water.

No fruit; high in sugar, calories and sometimes seeds and Fiber. I am just over 6 months and still don't. Add flavourings as others have posted.

The fact of the matter is you just have to do it! :)

I've never heard of smoothie king but I bet it's not a good choice. This is not forever but it is an important part of the process...

Try Premier Protein ready made shakes most people really like them. You can buy them at costco or Sams club

Blend them with ice. The colder they are the easier they go down.

Smoothie king is fine as long as it doesn't have the added fruit.< /p>

Look up Gladiator Protein powder. That's the base they sell. If you're looking at their menu shakes they have a lot more stuff added to them.

As I stated its fine as long as you are not adding the extra sugars & carbs to them (fruits & berries)

It's a mixture of both whey & egg Proteins. Which are both complete Proteins & for some people may be more tolerable, and is higher quality than Premier Protein Shakes which I also commonly refer to a a "good" alternative

Ok,I looked at their site and there is a lot of crap :o

but if you strip away all the stuff but the base I guess that would be different. Does the base taste good?

Never tried it. But I've seen others that won't drink pure whey that will drink it.

Well i do buy the drozen fruit with no suger added,and it makes my shake taste so much better,and i needed the extra calories,because i was not eating enough,which can stall your weight,so it helps with the extra calories my body needs so it works out fine for me..i add the strawberries and berries mix..

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
