Great Protein Drinks I have found
Hello All!
I am still pre-op but my surgeon gave me some protein samples to try. I really love my surgeon by the way! I have been trying the protein samples before because I thought it would be a good idea, rather than having something horrible to drink right after the surgery. I have found that Syntrax is wonderful. If you like chocolate, I would highly recommend "Perfect Chocolate" it tastes great. I didn't have skim milk so I mixed it with 2% this morning and it was wonderful. (One side note, when I tried the vanilla, I just mixed it with a fork and it was a bit lumpy so when I tried the chocolate I put it in the blender and pulsed a couple of times and it was very smooth) I am sure skim or if you are lactose intolerant any other "non-milk" product would be great. I don't know if you can get it at traditional stores, but I did find it online at bariatriceating.com, there may be other places I just haven't done a "search" yet. I have also tried "Simply Vanilla" really wonderful, "Roadside Lemonade-great by itself but also awesome mixed with Crystal light-"Strawberry, Orange, Banana" I did 8 oz crystal light and 1/2 serving of Roadside lemonade-tasted alot like a smoothie, and I have also tried the "Fuzzy Navel", it was great by itself also. The "fruity" ones are called Nectar and the vanilla and chocolate are called Matrix 5.0. They all have 20+ grams of protein in an 8 oz serving. Sorry the post is so long but I wanted to share all!
