Protein Shake
Okay so just an update on what I've tried...I did try putting 1 1/2 oz (3 Tablespoons) of a Grape New Whey protein bullet in about 12 oz of bottled water w/ a SF Tropical punch kool-aid packet...3 Tbsp has 21 grams of protein. It actually tasted really good. Hopefully I can tolerate this after surgery since it tastes pretty dang sweet. I'm gonna try the other 2 flavors (Fruit punch and orange) and also try some different flavors of SF kool-aid.
I also got my Whey Gourmet milk chocolate in today. I just mixed it with 6oz skim Milk (about 60 calories)...and 1 scoop of powder (130 calories). So in total it ends up being about 27g of protein w/ the milk and the powder and about 190 calories. Not too bad. It actually tastes pretty good. At first I just started drinking it mixed with the milk--but I couldn't get it mixed well enough since I don't have a shaker cup yet. So I ended up throwing it in the blender with about 5 ice cubes. It's better that way to me. I think I could get away with only using 4 oz of milk if I made it in shake form. It definitely isn't too sweet the way I made it this time. I think I like this one! No aftertaste AND it doesn't smell bad! I also got the AcheivOne coffee drinks in the mail. I put one in the fridge--so I'll let you know later once I try it. =)
