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.

      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.
