rocknrollmama1980 20 Posted October 1, 2013 I start my preop diet I a few days. I have started drinking shakes to get used to it. I loved making smoothies. Some fruit, a few scoops of Protein powder and it was great. For preop though, I need to drink that powder or pre made stuff. I find it nauseatingly sweet... Which is weird since there are only 5 grams of sugar. They aren't horrible but I just shudder at the though of their chemical sweetness. Any advice on how to make then taste better? I also get three servings of milk or yogurt a day. Not sure if mixing them would make it better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TapSnap 357 Posted October 1, 2013 If you are using chocolate try adding PB2. PB2 is a powdered Peanut Butter. It doesnt have added sugar and also the fatty oils are taken out of it. It makes chocolate Protein shakes taste like a reese cup. You can either buy it online or they also have it at Giant stores. Vitamin Shop sells a off brand one as well that is just as good.

Bea Amaya 859 Posted October 1, 2013 I agree with TapSnap about PB2, if you like Peanut Butter that is. I bought mine at Walmart and add it to my shakes and often put it in my small ice cream maker to give it more of a frozen yogurt consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chittick24 52 Posted October 1, 2013 I use reg Peanut Butter in my shakes but I mix them with hood milk. I am also 3 years post op though. I have been looking for the PB2 but can't find it in any Walmart here so I will have to look online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I order about 4lbs at a time and it will last me about 3 months. I buy the chocolate PB2.< /p> 1 Bea Amaya reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
