Protein shakes

[HealthyRN 56]

I am 12 days post op and know i will drink Protein Shakes daily which I don't mind. (Kinda gagging on them right now, plain and thick)

I am in search of how you make your drink and what you are adding to your shake. Please include what brand of Protein you are using.

Thanks guys

I use Muscle Milk Protein powder and throw a scoop into a regular Protein shake with 20+grams of Protein, then I shake really really well and freeze it. I eat it with a spoon so I get about 35-37g protein in 12 oz serving.

I use Matrix vanilla. I add thawed No Sugar Added- peaches, strawberries, mangos. I add DaVinci SF syrups in caramel, gingerbread, brown sugar/cinnamon, Peanut Butter. I have Matrix Peanut Butter cookie that is good. My coworker uses Matrix Orange cream. She makes it with milk and OJ.

I guess you could make the vanilla shake with half milk and half OJ for an orange creamsicle.

I drink my Water with MIO and I found another brand that has caramel flavor and vanilla flavor. I think they are to add to coffee but I added the caramel to the Protein shake. I guess I could add the fruit MIO's to the Protein Shake for various flavors.

I liked the Nectars brand of shakes too.

I am drinking Premier Protein pre-made shakes. I only like the chocolate ones. I get them through www.insurenutrition.com for free. They send a prescription to my doctor to sign and they fill it and my insurance company pays it! They do not charge me a co-pay or anything and it is shipped right to my house. My very favorite Protein kick is a strawberry gladiator from smoothie king. I add strawberry and lemon or blueberry as my 2 fruits. Super low carbs - less than 10 grams I believe and very high protein - 40 grams! I have it for lunch about once a week. I wish I could afford to have it every day.

I use optimum nutrition shakes and mix with Water. (4ozs) I used them before surgery and still love them now.

I use Target brand chocolate and vanilla Protein. For the chocolate I just do a scoop of the protein with a little PB2 and skim milk. The vanilla protein with a half of a frozen banana, a little sugar free vanilla pudding, and skim milk has been my favorite so far.
