How do i make my protein shake taste better?



Recommended Posts

You could add different flavored sugar-free syrups to it. Torani and Davinci both make them. You could also buy a different flavor or mix vanilla with the strawberry to cut down the strawberry flavor.

My go to shakes were Premier ready made chocolate and vanilla. I would add caramel and PB2 to chocolate and pumpkin or some other flavor to vanilla.

Are you pre-op or post-op?

Pre-op I would add some fruit (about 1/4 of a low glycemic fruit like blueberries or strawberries).

Post-op I add PB2 to chocolate and vanilla shakes. sugar free puddings and jellos are good to add as well - my favorite is a vanilla shake with about 1 tablespoon of sugar free pistachio pudding dry mix. Do you have anything else or can you purchase something other than strawberry? I also have the sugar free flavored syrups. I mixed the chocolate with hot Water (less than 140 degrees or you get a clumpy mess) to make hot chocolate.< /p>

Good luck - shakes really do get old. When they do it's time to get creative!

Thanks! I'm going to have to try the SF pudding mixes. I'm not even a week into this and having issues downing the shakes. I found one I like, but I know eventually it will get old

I am over a year out and still drink my shakes. I prefer powder over ready mix so I can dilute it a bit more. Too thick/ strong makes me ick. I also tend to mix vanilla w another flavor (half vanilla/half choc) bc again if the flavor is too "strong" my belly gets angry.

      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.
