sksh 31 Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone~~ I needed to share this with you guys~~ I'm addicted to coffee .. all my life. I start drinking coffee back after 6 months from surgery and I drink it coffee everyday (shot of espresso with 150ml of nonfat milk and stevia) I kinda got tired of it I wanted to change so I searched and I found this 2 products which basically Protein powder with real coffee as they claim!! Before I go on I wanted to show you this guys because - I wanted to see what you think about Protein Powder - what is your experience with it and your story - is it helpful or safe? - what your surgeons and your nutrition told you about Protein powders as well~~ So take your space and share and just lets chat about them~~^^ First: javapro It comes with so many flavors. Now the info are for 28g .. but I think 28g is a lot for one cup for us (/^\)? Second: click It comes with so many flavors also. also I think 31g is too much (/^\) So now in the first one I don't know .. I think there is so much protein? The second one its great but there is a lot of sugar!!! what you guys think? - would you use one of them? or did you use one? - did anyone ask a nutrition about them before? - are they good for us or not? I really will appreciate if you guys give me some answers or share some of your opinions about them and about protein powders^^ Have a nice day~~ Edited December 26, 2015 by sksh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollergal 17 Posted December 26, 2015 I'm not sure how to read those labels. They are quite different to the labels in New Zealand. My guide for labels are less than 10 grams of fat and 10 grams of carbs per 100 grams and it's okay. As for the coffee aspect my dietician says coffee is fine if you are getting in enough fluids but not to add any chocolate or flavour shots. I often add a teaspoon of coffee to my vanilla Protein shake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsCyrus 90 Posted December 26, 2015 The sugar on the one is 6 grams and we should look for 5 grams and under so I would totally still try it! We need to see the list of ingredients. That is what can tell us if our tummies can take it. Cool stuff! There are different kinds of Protein so I will go check.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted December 26, 2015 I'm unsure of those that you posted. There were only 4 approved Protein powders & ready mix Protein shakes in my program's diet. One of those was Chike coffee Protein Powder. They have two varieties. I'd mix a regular shake and then add this Chike Coffe powder to it. It was awesome. I was able to make it through my post op liquid diet very easily with this wonderful tasting powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I often add a teaspoon of coffee to my vanilla Protein shake. oh the info on the labels are for 31g only!! >< I was think of adding 15g (1 tablespoon) of this mix with hot Water as a change from regular coffee~~ my doctor said coffee is okay too~~ but should be sugarless~~ so your dietitian is okay with the Protein Shake? I think teaspoon is good this is a great idea it give some flavor for your coffee + the benefits~ I might give this method a try~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

%#LoosingIt?!&- 16 Posted December 27, 2015 What about adding either an unflavored Protein powder or even a chocolate to regular coffee? If think you'd get the best of both worlds and not have to get a whole extra type of protein powder... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If think you'd get the best of both worlds and not have to get a whole extra type of Protein Powder... I don't use Protein powder (/^\) I tried too but the smell of the powder .. I couldn't handle it T_T so I thought I may use it with coffee to help me drink a lil ~~~ I do use chocolate but I kinda want something for everyday use (/^\) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bndtoslv 292 Posted December 27, 2015 I was allowed to drink 16ozs of coffee starting at 3 weeks out. I frequently mix Protein powder right into the coffee- this was suggested by my nutritionist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My doctor too allowed me to drink coffee!! But he didn't even check my Protein powders he is 100% against them :/ this is what makes me so confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhbella 1 Posted December 29, 2015 I use Isopure Columbian coffee Protein Drink. Love it, add a little Creamer and ice and it's like iced coffee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
