Protein shake is too sweet

[Sam_sam 0]

Hi guys. It's my first post here. I had my surgery on 13/3/2017 .I'm almost two and half weeks post open and I've lost abt 14 pounds till now. Now on my journey of wt stall since last three days but am mentally prepared for the stall as I've read here that it's quite normal. I bought Isopure Dutch chocolate Protein Shake. Now the problem is.... Can't take it down my throat. It tastes damn sweet. Any tips to make it a bit less sweet? I even tried reducing its quantity in Water or milk but still the same result. Need help

I would only use Water and like you have, make it with more than suggested.

Have you tried adding ice?

I have stuck to the same Protein Drinks before surgery and still like them although they are sweet too.

Congrats on the surgery and weight loss !!

A tsp

Try some powdered Peanut Butter or some dark chocolate cocoa powder (unsweetened, of course). Both have helped me. So has mixing in some almond milk.

Almond milk with no added sugar can cut it down.

I've done that, but now it's so hard to get them down that I don't want to Add any more volume. The premiere Protein Shakes can be a bit sweet too.
