I got a Nutri Ninja blender at Bed, Bath & Beyond (yes, use that 20% off coupon!) and now I add ice to all of them. It's like a milkshake!!! Occasionally I'll add natural Peanut Butter too, which makes it heartier. Try lots of different brands (google search, then ask the companies for samples), and you'l find your favorite. I always go back to my doc prescribed Bariatric Advantage chocolate. Ooh, and I use skim milk every time, not Water.

I freeze banana and strawberries and add that to Premium Protein vanilla shakes. Thick, milkshake consistency.

I add PB2 to the chocolate powder Protein with Water and ice.

I, too, bought a Ninja.

I use silk coconut milk or a blend of almond/coconut milk. There are other brands too. Only about 35-45 cals per 8 oz. I also add shots of espresso to my shakes. That takes away some of that health supplement flavor.

What brand is the shake? Is this a Dr / Nutritionist prescribed one? I *hate* artificial sweeteners, and it took me about 4 shakes to start getting used to the taste. By my 6th shake, I was OK. The things that helped the most was making the thing COLD. I even went to the extent of refrigerating my Water.

Good luck!

STOP! Talk to your doctor about this before you do it again! My doctor made it very very very clear that they chose these specific shakes for their nutritional content, and that any changes to them would directly impact my pre-op success. Yes, the things taste nasty, but do NOT change anything about them without your doctor 1) approving the changes, and 2) giving you instructions on how MUCH you can change them.

Just because one person's doc was OK with this or that, or my doc was NOT ok with any changes, does not mean that your doc's instructions will follow suit. Talk to your DOCTOR about changes to your diet ... not us. We aren't medical professionals, and WE are not the ones doing your surgery. OUR advice could adversely impact what your DOCTOR is planning.

If I'm wrong ... then awesome. But you won't know that unless you talk to him/her FIRST.

Talk to my nut a little while ago and she said if I wanted to add sweetener and Ice to make a shake that would be fine . So that's what I'll do .

Ordered the prescribed shakes by my surgeon from a special company in Montreal, they are the best I've ever had! Minogue Medical if you want to look it up, I only ordered the chocolate and it's supposed to be only mixed with Water. Sometimes I add ice and a touch of cinnamon fooling myself into thinking it's a Wendy's Frosty. ) yum yum!
