Protein Shakes

[musicalwonder 34]

Silly question but is anyone adding things (like bananas) to their shakes? And thoughts on whats good/not good? Ive been sticking to soy Protein Shakes with almond milk but the taste is getting old and my preop starts next week.

after surgery I hated my Protein Shakes. I would freeze half a banana and use that like ice cubes. But in all honesty I am sick of that now too.

Thats what im afraid of. There's only so much I can do. Glad to know fruit is at least an option. Hopefully there are some good recipes!

I add frozen fruit with a tablespoon of lite cool whip, yummy. Just blend till you like the consistency

How soon after surgery can you add fruit to your Protein Drinks?

I found out today something interesting. I was all along thinking to myself I would just double scoop my Protein Powder which on the tub says you can do so I was like cool 60 grams of Protein plus the 9 in milk I am set I can do this LOL but NUT told me no that only 30 because are body can only process 30 soon the other scoop is just a wasted scoop

Made a chocolate banana smoothie this morning with my Protein powder. It was fantastic. I had tried those premixed shakes and they taste horrible. Finally found a good chocolate powder added it to milk and blended in a banana. Delicious! Now I know I can do this! I found out my surgery was approved Tuesday. I should have my date today!

Careful with fruit even since they are healthy they are still sugar that can spike sugars and delay weight loss.
