Individual powdered shake recommendations?



Recommended Posts

Hi - I am looking for some assistance. I will be traveling through Europe for the month of June- and want to try to find a Protein Shake powder that comes in indiv. Packets. Have you found any you really like? I usually use pure Protein or premier shakes to get my protein as I haven’t moved to soft food yet, but an thinking it may be good to make sure i have something I can eat if finding options proves tough. I will be four months out when we leave. Trying to keep packing light.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or other travel tips!

yes - individual packets are perfect for traveling. I used to get a box or two of individual packets from Syntrax, but last time I got this at costco. They're fine - although any fruit-flavored Protein powders (including the Syntrax ones) I mix with an individual packet of Crystal Light lemonade, too. I think they taste better that way (but that may just be my personal preference)

Unjury sells sample packs. Their selection varies with time but they usually have some good ones. In case you are wondering, I have tried the Moonbeam Mist and it is okay, which is high praise from someone who hates Protein Drinks. 😎

I use Unjury. I mostly use the unflavored, but I liked the Moonbeam Mist and the chicken Soup (I drink that when I get a salt craving). Didn't care for the French Onion, but I think that will be good added to other foods later. There are other flavors I'll eventually try. I wish BariatricEating had individual servings because they have a lot of flavors and I'd love to try them with a little less money at risk if I don't like it.

I'm not sure what the TSA's opinion is on this, but when I travel by car I use little plastic cups with lids to pre-portion my Protein powders. I think the ones I use are sold as "jello shot cups" but they're basically the same sort of thing you'd get a little serving of dressing or ketchup with a takeout order. That way, you don't have to spend a bunch of money on pre-packaged containers and can use your usual product.

Most Protein companies offer "sample" servings. *Individually packed servings* Some even offer 'sample packs" with a bunch of different flavors. If you have a brand you like, just look up their website and you will find them. Or, even just google " Protein Powder variety pack" or something like that and I am sure you will find something.

I have used Unjury, which I know sell them. That is the only one I can think of off the top of my head right now though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
