Yummy Protein DRINK! Not shake.



Recommended Posts

Hi. I stopped using Protein Shakes because my husband works third shift and sleeps till 4:00pm and I didn't want to wake him by making shakes in my Magic Bullet. I used to take Protein Shots (the liquid in tube) but stopped. I didn't have a clue what to do, until I found this Protein Drink on pinterest. And I LOVE it!

I'm a Decaf coffee drinker, hot and/or iced. So, I found that mixing a cup of cold coffee, Creamer, Equal and a scoop of vanilla Protein powder and shake real hard, makes a great, refreshing glass of iced vanilla coffee! BAM! I found something pleasing to drink (3 times a day) Also, since it's freakin HOT outside, my ice melts real quick so I poured decaf into an ice tray to make coffee ice cubes so when it melts, it just adds to the flavor.

Give it a try if you like iced coffee. VANILLA iced coffee! :D

Here's to never having to dirty a blender or blender cup again. I simply started using premier Protein ready made shakes and I am so happy I did. I actually sold my ninja at my estate sale when I moved.

I hate blending Protein Shakes.......the grit and the smell. YUCK!

I gave my Magic Bullet to Goodwill, I couldn't stand the sight of it. I use Inspire Caramel Latte whey Protein. I mix with cold Decaf coffee and 1% milk no blender necessary. It's my daily special coffee drink that I have every morning.

What is the Protein shots that you mentioned?

New Whey liquid Protein, 42gms a tube. Expensive. Amazon, $30.00 for a box of 12. I read that they were not an effective Protein supplement. Plus, your body can only process 30gms at a time.

There are many different types of Protein. Many are not effective and a waste of money. Protein drinks should be made with whey isolate for the body to properly absorb. It is unfortunate so many nut are not letting people know. There are not a ton on the market but you can order on Amazon/. Matrix makes one and Bariatric Advantage..

I do something similar.... I put a Starbucks via packet (or two) a scoop of vanilla Protein Powder and Water and ice in a shaker and bam!

So, I'm new at this and plan to be sleeved sometime in October, I have 2 more counseling visits. Since I have met my weight goal, I need to keep it off for the next 2 months or risk my insurance possibly denying me. I was told to start doing Protein bars and shakes to help. What are the differences in the powders, ready drinks, and bars?What are the best ones at a decent price? Is too much Protein bad for you? Any websites with good advise, recipes? Any advice would help.

Thanks

Dan

Hi. I start my 2nd week post op today. I want some food but I won't try. How far after surgery did you all start working out? I can do walking for about 15 minutes so far. Other than walking, what else did you do and how much walking a day?

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (eat undiluted, or mix in Water...no blender), Syntrax nectar (mix with spoon or shaker cup...no blender), ProtiDiet Soups (mix with spoon...no blender), premier Protein (screw top...no blender), blend a shake the night before and put in the refrigerator, etc.

There are lots of options if you don't want to use a blender in the morning.

      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.
