Protien shake recommendations...Please



Recommended Posts

I have a protien shake that I don't really like. I am addicted to the Walmart brand slim fast (they are so awsome and better than slim fast) but they don't have much protien. Does anyone know of a protien powder that doesn't have a taste that I could add to these? Or, any suggestions on "good tasting" protien shakes would be a big help. I have tried to doctor my current shakes up with fruit but they still taste like crap. Thanks in advance.

1 small banana, 1 cup 1% milk, 2 TBS Simpley Jif peanutbutter, 1 scoop vanilla whey Protein. You can use chocolate, also. Taste great to me. About 500 calories. Low fat. Over 20 grms of protein. A serving of fruit.< /p>

It will stick with you for hours. I drink one before swimming. It's the only thing that holds me thru exersize.

I use GeniSoy and GNC's Vegefuel. They have 25 and 30 g of Protein, respectively, are non-fat, low in carboh. and calories, have no taste and are easily disolved when stirred with a fork, so no shaking or blending, and no lumps either. The are made from soy, so make sure you are not allergic if you want to try them! :car:

Hi Mbanhja!

When I was going through my pre-op, the nutritionist told me to get "instant dry milk" and add a serving of dry powder to any drink or pudding or smoothie. It has about 8 grams of Protein and no bad taste to milk and Carnation Instant Breakfast. If you like the Walmart shakes, just add a serving ( 2 1/2 tblsp ) to the drink and whip it up in the blender. I was also turned on to BeneProtein. Same people that make BeneFiber. I have used that too, but I had to order it on line because no one carries it. It has about the same gram weight as the dry milk. Sometimes I make my drink up and put it in the freezer until I'm ready to go to work and it's icy cold when I get here. Hopes this helps. Keep upi the good work!!! I love to read everyones suggestions!

If you like the Slimfast ones, try Atkins Advantage...I love them. They have 15g Protein, 160 cals, 9 fat grams, 5 carbs and one gram of sugar. They have chocolate, and strawberry and vanilla and a double chocolate one too. I get mine a Sam's Club or Walmart (cheaper at Sam's).

I have learned from my doc that the body can use only 20g of Protein at a time so you need 20g 3times a day. I found Unjury chocolate with skim milk and 1t of low sugar Peanut Butter and 1/2 banana in a blender made a delicious shake. I always added 8-10 ice cubes to the heavy duty blender and had a frosty. ...about 380 calories or less.

Unjury also has a chicken Soup protein mix. 100 calories ...no carbs...no sugar. ...tastes great. You can order online.

Hi,

I have a Protein shake that I really enjoy. I mix it with 8 oz skim milk and 3 ice cubes, put it in my magic bullet and voila.... tastes just like a chocolate milkshake with 27 grams of Protein and only 210 calories and less than 5 carbs.

It is called Essential Protein by Iron-Tek (100% pure whey). I use the chocolate.< /p>

I use Ispoure ( 50g) with 12 oz skim milk (12g) for a total of 62 grams. I divide it into 3 4 oz oz servings. I stick with vanilla flavor. The three small servings has just the amount of Protein that you need for the day. My doctor told me 60-75g of protein was needed per day.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
