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.

      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.
