Recommend your non chocolate protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

I'm allergic to chocolate, which sucks, but it also makes finding a palatable shake even harder. I have so much trouble drinking shakes because they all taste the way the inside of a Vitamin shop smells. I just can't get them down. I can drink jamba juice all day, but that's inconvenient, full of sugar, and expensive. Help!!!

Allergic to chocolate? A fate worse than death! :unsure:

My shake of choice is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury - the vanilla and strawberry are good.

I have a bunch of sugar free Torani syrups I play with as well to change up the flavor. Also, just adding a little bit of fruit - 1/3 of a banana, 3-4 frozen strawberries or 1/4 cup of blueberries will change up the texture (once you're approved for it).

The Atkins Advantage French vanilla shakes are pretty good! They don't have as much Protein in them as other brands, but once you're in post-op that doesn't matter as much because you can get Protein from other sources. Premier Protein Shakes are also sold in vanilla and have 30g of protein and they are palatable, but do leave a slight aftertaste.

unjury chicken broth flavor - great alternative to sweet Protein shakes.Isopure Protein drinks, sort of a gatorade-ish type of liquid. Most people like one flavor over another (so experiment) and some people add 1/2 Water to cut the intensity of the flavor. You can also freeze them into ice pops. They are expensive, but you can buy one bottle at GNC to try it out. Amazing Meal hemp and pea Protein Powder (Whole Foods), they have a number of flavors. Very different than your whey Proteins, has a nutty grainy texture. I like the seasonal flavors (they had pumpkin last fall).Last, any of the vanilla flavors are a good choice, as someone mentioned. Besides Torani Syrup (my cabinet looks like a barista's - a dozen different flavors LOL), but also plain old extracts work great (almond, lemon, orange, etc.). I also sometimes add cinnamon and nutmeg to vanilla - tastes like Horchata.

I haven't seen this one on the forum but my NUT approved Big Train Fit Frappe if you like a frappuccinno type drink. I can mix the vanilla with ice and Water for a 20 oz frappe with 21 G Protein, 130 calories and 1 g sugar. I add Torani sugar free salted caramel for a change. I also like the Premier strawberries and cream from costco. They're not delicious but they're decent and have 30 G protein.

The label is a little misleading on the Syntrax Nectars. 1 full scoop is 23 grams but the serving size is listed as 1/4 scoop.

Click and Chike both have a variety of coffee flavors, Click has a Decaf too. Lean shake 25 from GNC has some good flavors, I just got banana Cream and Cinnamon Bun. I also have the sugar free syrups and PB 2 just need to find a vanilla you like.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
