I assume you have protein powder? Like chocolate or vanilla maybe?

I just mix mine with water... or I toss it in a blender with half ice, half milk (for a bit extra protein) and make more of a smoothie. When you are able you can toss in a couple frozen strawberries.

I also have some syntrax protein powder that is more like crystal light type stuff....

hope that helps!

I have some of the pre-mixed ones...I tried adding ice to thicken it up...DISGUSTING. I may have to stick with the "juicy" ones and no dairy like substances

Yeah, it is hit and miss trying to find one that tastes good! I've not yet even opened the syntrax ones I bought. I also bought the unflavored so I could mix it in my other misc eats.

I figure for what I payed for the stuff... I'll be drinking it one way or the other or my hubby will shoot me! LOL!

I do believe we will find ones we like... We just gotta keep trying! One nice thing about GNC is if you don't like it, they will take it back, no hassles! This was an awesome selling point for me!

I buy the Unjury Chocolate Splenda. A bit expensive but it's all I can tolerate. I have thrown money down the drain trying other protein drinks for cheaper price. I gave up and just enjoy my Chocolate Splenda. I just started adding bananas to this drink and I LOVE IT even more. One scoop of protein powder, 1 cup of skim milk, couple of ice cubes, few slices of banana and blend in blender. A delicious smooth drink that I look forward to every morning. Plus this gives me 29 grams of protein before my mid morning snack. Oh Yeah, Oh yeah!

Whatever you do do not buy alot of something you love before surgery because more that likely you will NOT love it after. Our taste changes....I have thrown out more than a few $$$ of stuff I could not stomach to drink. d

I use Jay Robb Chocolate powder, and the tropical dreamsicle, it is made with Stevia, I can't use artificial sweeteners, I get bad migraines.

I use Bariatric Support chocolate (from Vitamin Shoppe), a banana, and a cup of unsweetened almond milk in the bullet blender - yum! Look forward to it every morning for my drive into work.

If you want it super cold, freeze your skim mlk into ice cubes. If you just want it more thick, add sf instant pudding. If you add fruit, that can be froen prior to adding to shake.
Do you have any books yet? All the wls books have recipes, also tons of blogs and websites too.

Thanks Everyone....Goldenrivers--I do not have any books yet but I will be getting some soon!!!

I buy a protein called "Complete 40" Each scoop has 20gms of protein. They have a few different flavors but my fav is strawberry with a few ice cubes and frozen blueberries. I put a cap full of miralax and a teaspoon or two of splenda and mix it in the bullet. I think it's the ninja bullet. It's soooo super easy to use AND clean. I totally recommend it.

The Body Fortess has a lot of protein. I mix it in water or milk. I like it a lot better in skimmed milk.

" I wanted to come back and tell you that one of the samples I bought was a syntrax nectar, lemon tea flavored. I just tried it and it is very good, if you like lemon tea. It is not heavy or too sweet (at least to me).

They have many other flavors too. This one, if you use the entire packet, has 23 gms of protein. You could just mix it with your water. Just an idea! :)

You can buy single serving ones here:
