Need Protein drink ideas



Recommended Posts

I have had the same problem. I just find ways to dress them up a little and stay within the guide lines of what I can have. At first I hated the chocolate that I got from GNC, but then I added 8 ounces of milk, and three frozen cherries and it was much more palatable! I know when I can add my fruits to them again I will be happy with the vanilla! As the fruit is what makes the taste! Wish I could help you more then that! but its hard to tell someone else what they will like, when you don't really enjoy them yourself!

My favorite premixed shakes, I get from Wal-Mart and Sam's Club - EAS Carb Control chocolate fudge and Premier Protein chocolate. Premier slightly edges out EAS for my tastes.

I get the vanilla body fortress from Walmart. I flavor it with Apple pie spice or imitation banana,strawberry,or raspberry flavorings. Sometimes I use sugar free Hershey chocolate or strawberry Syrup. Lots of combos with these ingredients. chocolate banana or strawberry banana, etc.

I only do unflavored...I mix it with Vitamin Water and freeze...for ready made shakes, I like eas advantage. Sometimes i mix the vanilla eas with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.. Eas us not thick, which I like.

I agree with the Premier Protein Shakes- I can get them at costco (chocolate is better) for about $25 for 18. That lasts me 9 days but they have some of the highest grams of Protein per shake out there with 30. I love that they are portable and if you put them in the freezer for about 30 min before you have it, it is sooo much better. At home I mix a full shake with about 1/2 cup crushed ice and a half banana and it makes all the difference.

Just had the most incredible tasting Protein shake. Syntrax Matrix 2.0 Peanut Butter cookie flavor. Tasted like a REAL Peanut Butter cookie. Bought it from the store at my Bariatric Center.

Check out Isopure. It tastes like Gatorade, comes in a bunch of flavors, and has 40grams of whey Protein in a 20oz bottle. I buy mine from GNC. I also started drinking Protein shakes from Jay Robb. (his name and picture are on the package) (GNC) It tastes so smooth you forget you are drinking a Protein shake.

I love the Designer whey in White chocolate with 8oz Lactaid milk. The Lean Protein in Chocolate is fantastic - that is premixed and powder. The Isopure is pretty good - all kinds of flavors.

There are two I have found over the years that I like pretty well. I am a very picky eater, I must have tried 100 different Protein powders over the years.

The first one I like the best is called "nectar" You can get it @ GNC or Vitamin World. It comes in 30 flavors or so. One scoop has 27gm Protein, no sugars. I get the tropical flavor, I mix one scoop of powder, one individual crystal light fruit punch packet, and add Water. I love this in the summer because its made with Water not milk. It's light not heavy.

The other one I like that I just started using is called Bariatric Advantage. Again, not super heavy because you use water to mix.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
