Pre op diet tips

[Alexis99 67]

Thought I'd share my discovery... I'm on day 4 of the pre op high Protein Shake liquid diet. It's definitely challenging and quite a change from eating mindlessly for so long. I wanted to share some things I've discovered regarding the shakes. The shakes when Blended (ninja) can be really nasty to me. I have a box of unflavored and chocolate, I do a scoop of each with a lot of Water and 4 to 6 ounces of plain kefir and it is really drinkable! The tartness of the yogurt cuts down the sweetness from the Protein Powder . Sometimes I throw in a little bit of fruit and spinach as well. I also like my coffee hot not lukewarm ...but they say you can't mix Protein with hot liquids because the texture changes, this is true. however... I found an awesome way to drink hot coffee with the protein and the same should hold true for Soups. I slowly slowly mixed two scoops of my protein powder into about 16 ounces of warm coffee I use the thermometer it was about 120 degrees comma if I poured too much protein it would come if I really took my time and adding a little bit it wouldn't call, once I managed to mix my two scoops with no clumps, I then I threw in the microwave for 40 seconds. it became really hot and smooth, no clumps!! I can't believe I've never read this everything on the instructions and everyone says that protein cannot be mixed with hot water but why didn't anyone ever think that we can just reheat it? Maybe this can help someone that likes Hot things like me.
