Discovered the secret to enjoying Protein Drinks

[CharmingTortoise 83]

I have discovered the secret :ph34r: (at least for me) to enjoying Protein Drinks - Nose Clips! For some reason when you plug the nose that weird taste from the Protein isn't noticeable. All I can taste is the flavor that the drink is supposed to be. Nose clips will make it hand free and also make it so once I have the surgery I don't have to try to hurry up and drink it. I was also excited that for once, it was a cheap fix!

Who would have known the swimmers knew the secret all along. Wish they would have shared though

...but the nose clip would get in the way of my nose piercing.

I'm so glad I still like the Protein Drinks I also drank pre-op. Happy for you that you found the secret! lol...

I mix it with fruit or Peanut Butter lol

I'm sure hoping that I won't have issues with Protein Drinks post-surgery - I am just fine with them as it stands now (some are better than others, of course!)

The nose clip is an interesting idea, though. I know that a lot of people do say it's the smell that bugs them the worst.

Hehe, when I mix in my frozen cherries or a half a frozen banana, I feel like it should be a guilty pleasure!

Lol!! I may have to try that! I did fine until about 2 months post op and I hit a wall. Actually thought I was gonna throw the shake back up. Ugh! And I actually enjoyed my shakes until that day.

I had to switch to Protein Bars post op -- I couldn't even look at a shake without gagging...

How sad is this? This sounds like something I would do- I never liked the shakes, either. In fact, 4 months out I rarely have one...

I have always held my breath while drinking them. I have very few of the Protein mixes or ready made drinks that I can drink leisurely and think they are great. I struggle with that protein smell and that taste. But I have to have them for now until I get my intake where I can manage my protein in take with normal food.< /p>

I am really sick today and my nose is stuffy and I was wondering why my shake tasted so good lol

[serenity1959 67]

I drink mine in a Tervis tumbler with the top on.

[JackieV 246]

I use a straw and it cuts down the smell. ( no worries, my nut and surgeon said straws are fine for me)

[gettinMeBack 380]

I drink mine with a straw too. It makes it easier to stomach lol

Put in a few drops of a flavored extract. I put banana in a vanilla shake and it taste totally different.
