What kind of shakes without art. sweeteners?

[Healthygal 50]

I can't use artificial sweeteners. I can use Stevia, which is natural, but that's it. I keep reading about people using weight loss shakes preop and such, and I wonder if anyone knows of some that don't use art. sweeteners? Maybe I'll just have to make my own? I get TERRIBLE Migraines from any art. sweetener on the market. I've tried them all, same story.

About Time Protein powders are all natural and use stevia as a sweetener. The only flavor of theirs I have tried is mocha mint, which I thought was pretty good but not OMG THE BEST EVER. I have seen people raving about their pumpkin spice Protein Powder recently as well.

I have also tried Tera's whey, which offers a range of types of protein (organic, non-GMO, etc.) which are all all-natural. Tera's Whey gets lots of good reviews but I have to say I found it absolutely awful. I thought it tasted like dirty dishwater. But you can order single serving packets to test it out, perhaps you will like it better than I did.

I started using Publix Greenwise Organic vanilla Whey Protein powder and I found it VERY tasty. Not only that, I don't believe they have any artificial sweeteners at all! I've also tried Jay Robb chocolate and it's very tasty, has no artificial additives and is sweetened with Stevia. It's pricey, but it's worth it for the taste and clean nutrition.

Hey, I'm a nurse, too...! I just sent in my paperwork so I'm at stage negative something er other. I read about people doing the preop thing and I wondered what I could use that wouldn't give me headaches.

Try the unflavored Protein powders & add a sugar-free Syrup for flavor or add it to any liquid or soft food. I had to give up on the flavored protein powders post-op because they were too sickly sweet. I got some at GNC to try & then ordered some Now Sports unflavored whey isolate from Amazon. The GNC stuff was a bit thick but the Now Sport powder is much better.
