Any GOOD, high in protein, Milk alternatives?



Recommended Posts

Looking for a good ratios of calories and Protein. I tried rice milk and nearly fell off the stool when I saw the number of calories it had, scratched it off my grocery list. The Blue Diamond almond milk I got has 1 gram of protein! I thought almonds were supposed to be high in Protein, what the ???? Not looking to drink it straight out of the glass just add it to coffee , Protein shakes, etc.

I use Skim Milk plus, it had 12g of Protein, 110 cal and not sure about fat, for 8oz. It's really good I use it everyday for my shakes.

I used to use rice milk and loved it.but post opp I agree with you, is too many carbs and calories. I got a small container of original, unsweetened soy milk for now.

Lactaid skim. I'm very lactose intolerant and this is the only milk I can use. Skim has 90 calories and 8 gms Protein in 8 ozs.

If you live near a Kroger try their Kroger Carbmaster milk. 8 oz. has 11g of Protein and 60 calories. Comes in regular and chocolate. It's lactose free and tastes great. I am lactose intolerant too and just started drinking this after my surgery. I haven't had any intestinal problems with it. Now 16 oz. of half regular/half chocolate is my before bed "snack".

I drink the almond milk and add the powdered whey Protein. They do sell a version of the blue diamond with extra protein.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
