Can you add two protein drinks together?



Recommended Posts

Right now I am using Ideal Shape Meal Replacement shakes. They have 11-13 gr of Protein depending on flavor. I use that with the Fairlife skim milk that has an additional 13 gr of protein for my breakfast. I'm not one to add fruit to the shakes, since it makes them too thick for me. I just don't like the texture. So someone at work suggested maybe making my vanilla shake and adding in a flavored protein drink (like the banana or strawberry & cream Premier Protein drinks) Is it ok to add two Protein Drinks together?

Or how else can I add flavor to my vanilla shakes?

Sure, you can mix anything you want. I used to add vanilla, raspberry, banana, caramel, or almond extracts/flavorings to my shakes. Plain shake flavors got boring really quickly for me. I also added skim milk to cut the sweetness in later weeks when they became sooo sweet to me.

@Lovin2lose yes, I mix the Protein powders all the time. I like to mix the Syntrax sample pouches to make new flavors.

you can also add PB2 (peanut butter powder) to your shakes for variety.

I will also mix protein powders with pudding and such.

I guess I'll come back at you with the question, "why wouldn't you be able to do that?"

Protein Shakes can get quite boring if you don't do something to jazz them up now and again. And I totally get you about the texture thing. That's why I stopped drinking Premier Protein shakes. I just couldn't take that artificially thickened quality.

I'm not routinely drinking Protein shakes at this point, but I always keep some on hand. A staple in my pantry is Unjury Vanilla. I can do so much with it. My favorites: vanilla with a half a banana for a banana shake or Vanilla, half banana, and a tbsp Peanut Butter (I call it the Elvis Shake).

As long as you are staying within your calorie limit, I would assume it would be fine. I love adding the PB2 (mine is Walmart off brand) to my shakes. I now have it mixed with a cappuccino flavored one and it actually tastes like a reece's shake .I put it in the freezer to get slushy and OMG. So delicious. With adding one tablespoon of that plus my Protein Shake it's 145 calories and 27g Protein with 4 carbs. That is if you even like Peanut Butter.

Only problem I see- if something makes you sick- which one can you blame? Should you avoid both of them in the future?

I love all of the choices. I never thought about putting different flavoring into the Protein Shakes.

Thanks for the heads up.

Would ratherROFLMAO than face many more of them, Alas I am cursed with them and Zofran, until my stoma enlarges, I can move on to Level 3,and then 4! original plan was soft normal foods by Thanksgiving, don't see,it happening, I have at least,one,more stoma stretching with Dr Noria, Dr Needleman's partner who just💕doing endoscopy, it's her "bang zone" I must bewilder het, two,sessions and she has only,been able to stretch,Precious Pouche's maladjusted stoma 1 mm.! If she would like some advice, which,i doubt she wouldn could we,punta stent or something,in there to keep it open. Right now Precious Pouch,is,just a storage tank. You,put enough,liquid in and it slowly,drains into the Small intestine. No strtching, no movements, no nerve impulses?
Not regretting the SURGERY, not angry at Dr Needleman or Dr Noria either, I just feel flawed, like I didn't bring anything but faulty body parts to this equation.
Can't hardly find Premier Protein, all Wally World,had in when I checked, vanilla and chocolate, I'm sorry but I think vanilla is over-rated, who wants something thick white and tasteless? So switched to Muscle Milk, lost any joy I had towards it, so got,ME some Atkins Cafe Caramel. Wonder how it will be? Got to be better than Equate, WalMarts house brand---that stuff is vile, tastes of over processed. evaporated milk and,ieaves an unpleasant aftertaste ,
Please believe other posters when they say "don't start shakes early" I am over 7 weeks, Wednesday will be 8 weeks, still on them and so so like to blow a factory or 2 up!-💢

      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.
