kiwiladydee 402 Posted July 18, 2012 Anyone has a key to making Protein Shakes tolerable? I've tried at least 6 different brands and have spent a lot of money. I gag on the smell and can not stand the fake sugar taste. Help!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracym1107 47 Posted July 18, 2012 I wish I knew!!! I have to drink 2 oz every 2-3 hours and it makes me sick to smell it! Got another week on just Protein before I start pureed foods and I'm ready for that!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenneliza 257 Posted July 18, 2012 I am having the same issue. Just ordered some Capella drops to see if that helps. Might try adding a chunk or two of pineapple or banana. A little instant Decaf coffee sometimes helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracym1107 47 Posted July 18, 2012 I'm not even coming close to getting in my Protein each day!! How much do you drink at a time?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenneliza 257 Posted July 18, 2012 It takes me a few hours to drink a Protein Drink so I can get two in a day wich is 50-54 grams using Bariatric Advantage or GNC total lean. The total lean really is better but has 200 cals per serving! I just am so sick of these shakes. Also ordered nectar so btwn that and capella hopefully it will get easier. Have you tried Isopure? I tried Protein blitz and thought it was nasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amanda11 50 Posted July 18, 2012 Try a vanilla flavor brand and add crystal light or mio to it to make it the flavor of your choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutiepieme 41 Posted July 18, 2012 Omg ladies! These Protein shakes r the worst hubby can't hardly smell it anymore and I'm trying to keep chugging eas myoplex lite. 20g. I've tried making the smoothies but when I mix in the Protein it ruins it. I am only 1 wk out and so ready to eat a steak or chicken or anything different. I made taco bake last night and it has ground turkey, kidney Beans, cheese. Packed with protein. I'm just gonna just work on protein packed recipes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChatCat 24 Posted July 18, 2012 Go to Nashua Nutriion's web site and you can order samples of all the Protein shakes they carry. For $1.95 they give you a single serving size to try before you spend too much. GNC also allows 30 days for returns on Protein powder. I use Isopure Zero Carb Vanilla and add SF white chocolate Syrup and some chocolate extract to it. I like it. I have also tried Protizyme Peanut Butter Cookie and it was amazing and BSN Whipped Vanilla Cream - also good. I have to add SF syrup and doctor it up good to drink it but they taste really good to me that way. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChatCat 24 Posted July 18, 2012 Also, I mix mine with Water, not milk. Makes it a lot thinner and tolerable to me. I drink it with a LOT of ice too. Better when they are really cold. Seems like the smell goes away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notabarbie919 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Anyone has a key to making Protein shakes tolerable? I've tried at least 6 different brands and have spent a lot of money. I gag on the smell and can not stand the fake sugar taste. Help!!! I really like Syntrax nectar. If you go to best price nutrition's website they sell a sampler pack so you can figure out what flavor you like best. Otherwise I suggest adding some mint extract to change the flavor a little.

jenneliza 257 Posted July 18, 2012 Can you eat anything else?? When was your surgery? I had surgery 8 days ago. Tried to thin baby oatmeal and potato leek Soup but was full for like 6-8 hours after 1.5 oz. I can get down powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein chicken broth easier bc it counts as a clear liquid. I found that oh yeah shakes and GNC total lean are thinner, more like milk consistency and go down much easier. The only place I can find oh yeah around here is gas stations but they retail nationally and online. When I went to the surgeon they told me to forget about the Protein for a little while and just focus on hydrating so back to clears for a few more days. She said I will be fine for a few more days and then start again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
