I'm on clear liquid diet for a week post surgery and can only have my Protein Powder mixed with Water - which is the worst experience so far. Yesterday I was still trying to gag down one scoop of Protein powder in 32 ounces of water (diluted to try to make it go down better) and had a great idea that now I'll be doing daily this summer. I took ice and a scoop of chocolate protein powder and blended it up using the rest of my above mentioned protein water (about 10 oz) to make a protein icee. It was so much better than I expected and I was able to get the full 28 ounces down within 2 hours. I feel tons better now that I got that much more water and protein in on day 5 post op. It's not exactly ice cream, but it's certainly enjoyable.

I did the same thing when I was on the pre-op liquids. Blended with ice is sooooo much better!!!

I was on the Protein Shake diet for 6 months about a year ago. Nothing but shakes, lost 65 lbs. The ONLY way I would drink it was with ice. It was like a ice cream shake. I actually like it.

That sound really good! I don't know if you can have Decaf coffee yet but lately I've been making my Protein Shakes with a cup of decaf, a splash of skim milk, ice and a scoop of Protein powder all blended up. I also took my Protein Shake and poured it into popsicle molds to make protein pops. Basically anything icy cold is my go to for protein shakes :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
