Alternatives to sweet tasting protein drinks.

[Pupak 0]

I am not a sweets person, so all these Protein Drinks are really tough to get down.There doesnt seem to be any options other than chocolate , vanilla strawberry and a variety of juice type flavors. Any one else having this issue? I have zero regrets about the surgery, but I am concerned about having to get down these shakes for many years to come. Thanks!!!!

Unjury's chicken Soup protein:

Use unflavored Protein and stir it in to beef broth, creamy soup, or miso or egg drop soup.

Just remember that if you are adding protein to anything hot, you should use a food thermometer to make sure it is under 130 degrees.

That is a GREAT idea! I am ok with sweets BUT sometimes i like a plain old bowl of soup and this is great to get the protein in!

oh I forgot to mention, there are Protein Soup mixes you can buy too:

I used the HealthSmart Soups a fair amount. My favorites were cream of Tomato, cream of broccoli, and cream of mushroom. A nice thing about these is that they are designed to be made with hot Water or milk -- you can go over 130 degrees as long as the hot water is not boiling and the protein won't curdle.

I have the same issue. It's not that I wouldn't enjoy Desserts but some of the Protein drinks ARE too sweet. I have a supply that I have to use because it's too expensive to throw away. To the chocolate shake I added a teaspoon of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder. This helped a lot. To the vanilla, I add a teaspoon of cinnamon. Sounds like a lot but it tastes so much better that way.
