PROTEIN IDEAS

Can anyone suggest a very good tasting protein drink and/or supplement that packs a protein wallop? Thanks. Reenie

Hi Reenie, I know there are a lot of various ptotein drinks out there. I heard that vitalady.com will send samples. Personally I've gotten to really like Shaklee's unfavored instant soy protein powder. I mix it with either a small gass of sugar free juice or yogurt - or use it in my baking. 2TB is 16g of protein. It adds a texture sort of but not really a flavor and the stuff really grows on you. I have at least 4 TB a day plus my other protein. I know that UNJURY also makes a flavorless pwder that can be mixed with stuff, but I didn't like it as much. Good luck in finding something you like. Gail

Me again! PS - I forgot to mention that soy has many other benefits too. You do have to be careful about some soy sources. Some cheaper brands process their soy in ways that alter the benefits and have possible detrimental effects.

Reenie, Someone posted this on the Arizona board: 4 oz. (1/2 cup) strawberry yogurt 4 oz. (1/2 cup) Whole Fruit no sugar added Strawberry Sorbet 1 scoop strawberry protein powder ice cubes blend ingredients in blender enjoy!!! yummmy!!!! depending on yogurt and protein used will depend on your nutrition numbers...but i used dannon strawberry yogurt (not the light kind...i didn't have any when i invented this) and designer whey strawberry protein. and this is my nutrition numbers calories 260 protein 22 fat 4.6 carbs 50.5 I haven't tried it, but thought you might be interested. Make sure that you get something made with whey instead of soy protein as it is more digestible for us rny types. Don't bother with anything more than 35 grams of protein at a time as you can't process more than 35 grams at a time. Personally, I'm a fan of Pria bars as a snack. Watch the sugar if you're sensitive. My favorite is the chocolate mint because they don't have too much aftertaste and remind me of Girl Scout Thin Mints. Hugs, Connie

I get an adkins protein bar that is 150 calories, 15 grams of protein, 2 carbs with only 3 grams of sugar alchol. its like a granola bar with chocolate chip[s on top. i have one a day. i also get some protein soy chruncy crackers in a salt vinegar flavor that is to die for! but you are probably staying away from salty things right now. good luck and god bless, pam

I like the South Beach Cereal Bars...I probably eat one or 2 a day. I also buy the little half cups of cottage cheese, which also has low calorie and maybe 11 grams of protein. The protein drinks make me nauseous.... Joan

welp im definitely not the protein guru but I like the cookies and cream muscle milk or banana muscle milk. Muscle milk i always thought that was a funny name. i love the glennys slim carb bars the big crunch peanut caramel so yummy! munching one now upping my protein is STILL the only way i loose
