Need help with GOOD protein recipes!

[Barbara 8]

Tomorrow is the first day of my 30 day pre-op diet and I decided to make a Protein Shake that was given to me as a sample before I go buy in bulk... I did NOT like it... in fact, COULDN'T finish it!

I would LOVE if anyone could give me some GOOD Protein shake ideas that I will be able to enjoy or these 30 days are going to be MISERABLE for me!

I was thinking about buying something that's tasteless but what would I blend it with to make it tasteful???

Ideas??? Anything would be a big help! Please and thank you!

I drink the low carb Slim Fast creamy chocolate. It has 20 grams of Protein and like a few grams of sugar. Try that. I tolerate that pretty well. I not much for liking protein either.

Does it keep you full though for a few hours?

What do you mix them with? I tried Bariatric Advantage where you only add Water -- the chocolate -- it was nasty. :/

Where do you get those?

How long does it take you to drink a cup of Water?

I mix with Water. Been using them for my pre op. I tried Bariatric fusion but the Protein taste is strong to me.

I like the Muscle Milk- I use the vanilla 2 scoops with 16 oz 1% milk 1 pack of orange crush drink mix and ice- tastes like a push-up pop and keeps me full.

I also have mixed the 2 scoops 16 oz 1% milk, instant coffee and ice- makes a good frape

Look on mybariatricpantry.com You can order sample paks and decide what you like best. My surgeon sells Bariatric Advantage and I use the vanilla. I haven't tried the chocolate. I really like chocolate truffle and fuzzy navel from Syntrax. I order a sample of other syntrax flavors, but so far have not found one I like. I mix mine with unsweet almond milk or Water. I didn't mind the thickness before surgery, but I really hate thick shakes now! It's basically just trial and error until you find what you like. Plus I found what you like before surgery may not be what you like after surgery! Good luck!

Yes, I know after surgery I might not like what I take now but Im just in need of something for my 30 day pre-op. I tried the BA Chocolate and it was nasty, I couldn't finish it. Im gonna give the Vanilla a try!
