Pre Op Protein Search

[Gibbys Goddess 31]

After tossing out yet more Protein items yesterday, I've found at least 3 kinds/flavors I can tolerate, so that's good I guess. This morning I put a half packet of crystal light cran-pom into 8 ounces skim milk & a sample package of Unjury vanilla. It's good.

Sure. First I buy fresh fruit and when I get home, I wash, cut, bag and freeze all the fruit. It's cheaper for me but if you want, you can just buy already frozen fruit. The sky is the limit on what kind of fruit you choose. I also use a magic bullet blender. To make the mango one, I use 1 mango, 1 peach, a cup strawberries, (sometimes a banana) a pear, a splash of Water or no sugar added apple juice, a scoop of Protein powder a d depending on how sweet the fruit is, a little bit of splenda. If the fruit is not frozen, use ice cubes and blend. The chocolate shake I use 8 oz 1% milk, a packet of no sugar added hot chocolate mix and a scoop of Protein Powder. You may add Peanut Butter, banana, no sugar added frozen yogurt (like the ice cream type) a tbsp of sugar free pudding mix (whatever flavor you like, I like cheesecake) The possibilities are endless.

So I'm PRE-op (get my date next Thurs)' date=' and trying to find Proteins for post-op. I'm struggling. Everything is so sweet w/ a funny taste. . GNC, Isopure & Pure Protein ready mixed shakes all made me gag. I hate to spend so much on a big tub of powder & then hate it. Any picky people with suggestions on brands?[/quote']

I absolutely love " oh yeah". I believe they have the powder and pre made shakes. They have all sorts of flavors. My favorite is the chocolate an the vanilla cream. I just bought some on amazon' date=' cheapest there. I also like the whey Protein powder and the EAS Protein powder.

Good luck to you.[/quote']

I did not know that EAS makes powder. Their ready made no carb AdvantEDGE is the only ready made that I can tolerate so far. Thx!

Yes they are a big brand. It may not be on front all the time ....sometimes in co fine print.... I use to use them when I was on a clean eating kick
