How to make shakes taste better



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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

The only place I found it where I live is whole foods. Way out of my way but worth it.

I buy it on Amazon most of the time because I can buy 1lb bags. I order about 4lbs at a time and it will last me about 3 months. I buy the chocolate PB2.< /p>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
