Vega protein shakes - 1-week post-op

[Alphabetize 57]

I've been looking for a change from the regular vanilla/chocolate flavor of Protein shakes and came upon a "bodacious berry" flavor of Vega powder at Target today. It's not whey isolate, though. Craving something more natural without all the artificial sweeteners and this seems to fit that.

Is this a bad choice 1-week post-op and/or has anyone had this brand of shake? Thoughts? TIA!

I am sick of the artificial drinks...I just ordered Tera whey...I will have to add added protein.I want to get rid of all those artificial ingredients.

I have some Vega sport Protein packets that I haven't tried yet in the cupboard... so I'm not much help. Nothing wrong with the Vega line... being vegan, they don't use whey derived protein (dairy) and instead rely on plant based protein for their shakes and bars. There's plenty of websites out there that will debate which protein is based... plant vs whey... Isolate va concentrate... pea versus soy versus hemp... in the end, just find one your stomach tolerates.

My stomach and my tastebuds are two totally different things. I'm 1-week post-op now and every Protein drink is triggering my gag reflex. I will move to a pudding-thick-consistency phase on Wednesday and that can't come soon enough.

So, I tried the flavor I mentioned above and ehh... let's just say it was not the fruit smoothie I'd prayed it might be.

I love TerraWhey and used it prior to this journey with a handful of frozen fruit, a stevia packet and Water or milk. Is it safe to add blended fruit like this on a pouch this new?
