Adding protein shakes



Recommended Posts

PB2 is powdered Peanut Butter. I think you can buy it online. It is good to add into other stuff (like shakes) to give a peanut butter flavor. I think you can reconstitute it to make peanut butter too but I heard it is not as good that way. It is supposed to be great mixed in shakes!

I'm a huge fan of PB2, just got it the other day. It's GREAT! They dry roast peanuts and then remove all the oil. It ends up a powder that looks a lot like brown sugar.

A full serving is two tablespoons and has 54 calories, about 4gms Protein (going on memory here) and a bit of Fiber as well. I only use half a serving because that is just right for me but in chocolate Protein mix? It's GREAT!

Bell Plantation: 4 Pack PB2 ($3.99 each)

The downside is that a minimum order is four jars. But it has a long shelf life. Might want to find someone else that wants to buy it too and split the order.

I use the Body Fortress Protein Powder as well... both the chocolate and vanilla. I mix them with Hood Calorie Countdown (1 cup chocolate: 90 cal, 5 g fat, 5g carb, 8 Protein ~ 1 cup fat free 45 cal, 0 fat, 3g carb, 8 protein) in the blender with a couple of ice cubes and it's like a milkshake... YUM! If I have time in the morning I mix one up, otherwise I'll have a pre-mixed. I can't eat first thing in the morning... so it's a good little protein boost until I get to work and have Breakfast.< /p>

I have tried the Unjury and matrix, and couldn't stomach them. Then Lauren was nice enough to send me some samples of ones she liked.. I tried the nectar fuzzy navel for this morning, and I have to say I finally found one I can tolerate. It's by no means a treat, and I find myself holding my breath during most of it.. BUT.. it's not horrible like the matrix & unjury were to me. I can drink it! I have about 1/3 of the glass left, this is going to be the first time I have ever been able to finish a Protein shake!!! It's like a tangy OJ.. I was thinking of mixing in an oz of OJ with it after it was made. Anyone tried this? Or maybe blending it with a banana for a tropical smoothie type thing. I'm going to experiment with this now that I found a flavor I can use.. time to go buy the 5lb bag lol.

Wasa- was it you that has tried the beneprotein? If so, is it just like benefiber in its magical way to completely dissolve into food?

No, I use Benefiber. Never tried Beneprotein. How much Protein does it have? Do you know what kind of Protein? I can't see how it could be whey protein, that wouldn't dissolve into nothingness the way Benefiber does.

The plateau I posted about in the original post is evidently busted. I am down 2 more pounds and it is staying off.

Me neither, that's why I was asking YOU lol! I thought you were the one who said you tried it.

In any case, I just ordered some from walgreens (I could just go down the road, but I get anxiety looking through their stuff.. bunch of idiots work there).

I'll let ya know how it turns out.

Well, considering I just want to add it to food like I do benefiber to give it a boost to Protein (especially things that are low protein).

Says 1 box thing (which is what I bought) is 192 servings per can. The thing you listed says serving size is 1 scoop which is 25 calories and 6g of Protein.

I don't get what you're saying?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
