Adding protein shakes

.. or a little powdered Peanut Butter, ....

powdered Peanut Butter? what is this that you speak of???

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.

It says beneprotein is made of-- whey Protein isolate (milk) & soy lecithin.

Congrats! Feels good to end a plateau. How did you do it?

That's great. I didn't know it was possible to make whey into something that dissolves into nothingness. I'm going to have to check it out.

[Daisalana 33]

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.

Did you see that it only contains 6gms of Protein per scoop? That's going to get a bit expensive, isn't it? It is 25 calories per 6gms of Protein. The calories to protein ratio is good but I'll bet the price won't be per serving.

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?
