How do i make my protein shake taste better?

[Phillyphan 1]

I'm drinking strawberry flavored whey. I don't like it and the more I drink it, the harder it is to get down. Anyone have any tips to make it taste better?

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.
