Foodie protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post-op, and trying to figure out how to make Protein Shakes interesting long-term.

My favorite discovery has been ProtiZyme brand Protein powder! Comes in the standard flavors, but so much better tasting than any I've tried so far. The Peanut Butter cookie flavor is my favorite. Another plus (at least to me) is that they don't get super foamy and thick, so you don't have the burps with every sip.

My next favorite discovery is the book "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes". Great recipes! To incorporate more flavors, the author uses sugar-free flavor syrups (the kind they use at coffee houses and for snow cones), and sugar-free pudding mix. I imagine you could even use flavor extracts too! My fave is the Butterfinger Protein shake :-)

Maybe you could post some of your favorite recipies? The butterfingers sounds interesting...

Oooh, the butterfinger Protein shake is delish! It's a scoop of chocolate Protein powder, 1 TB PB2, 1 TB of SF butterscotch pudding, 1 c. milk (I use soy) and some ice. The original recipe also calls for SF sweetener to taste, but I find it's not necessary. I had one for dinner last night!

Ok, just made this with what I had on hand, poured almond milk into ice cube trays to use instead of ice. A little splash of almond milk to blend it all together. Yuuuuuuuumeeeeeeeee!

Saw this on Instagram, haven't tried it yet but seems like a good idea.

      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.
