why can't protein shakes taste good?



Recommended Posts

I use the Hawiian Punch (ocean orange) sticks. I mix it with 16oz of Water and use it as my liquid to mix with vanilla Protein Powder. It tates like an orange creamcicle!!

I bought the powdered PB2 Peanut Butter. And mix two tbs in my Premier Protein choc shake. Or a half small banana puréed in. Tastes good

Try the vanilla Creme Oh Yeah RTDs or the Cookies and Cream Pure Protein RTDs. I'm picky and liked both of those... a lot!

Where can I get these?

I think its because they're made in a lab / factory.

I try to get the vast majority of my Protein from food. I don't want to be drinking multiple Protein shakes a day for the rest of my life that taste like poo.

I was having such a hard time finding the low carb and high enough Protein that I now only get it from food as well. Primarily shrimp, eff whites, beef Jerky, lunch meat and string cheese. I get at least 90-100 a day.

I love the chocolate Unjury powder in the morning. Mix it with about 1/2 cup skim milk and my cold coffee that is left and that is a great mocha! Not quite Starbucks but pretty darn good from where I stand!

I'm using GNC Pro Performance because my son is a high school athlete and it was in thle house. Overall its not very good tasting but it I found out you can work miracles with whatever Protein you have Go to:

www.the worldaccordingtoeggface.com Her Protein Shake recipes are incredible. They even make the GNC crap I'm using taste good. I also use Unjury flavorless and chicken flavor for adding protein to my hot foods.

The best I have found is the Dymatize Elite whey Protein in Gourmet Vanilla. It mixes well and can be flavored with a banana or any of the sugar free syrups. Also...Pintrest has some great Protein Shake ideas. =)

I found these yoohoo packets just like the crystal light packets. No calories no sugars no fats. I'll put them in my chocolate Protein Shakes 100 TIMES BETTER AND YUMM. Also sometimes i'll mash up a banana in a blender with it too. I have also gotten extracts. I used a mint one in chocolate. It was great.

I am giving away my unjury starter kit (Minus one packet). The first person to claim it get's it. All I ask is to send me a few bucks for postage (PayPal).

I bought the Ninja blending system and am making my own Protein shakes.

Is it gone yet....?

My favorites have been the nectar flavors...Vanilla Bean Torte, Double Stuffed Cookie, and Lemon Tea were all good. Had trouble stomaching anything else so far.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
