I also like the Whey protein tropical punch and cookies n' cream.
I use any sugar free pudding ,I like the pistachio, butterscocth and try others.
You have to experiment on the amount you use to get the right taste.
Let me know how you make out.

Hi Amy... If you are creative you can make some pretty delicious drinks. Here are a few of my favorites
Achiev one latte's are very good (can get on bariatriceating.com
Also whey Gourmet cappuccino flavor put into the blender with 2 handfulls of ice cubes, 8 oc carb countdown fat free milk, and davinci butterscotch sugar free flavored syrup...awesome... kinda like a coffee coolatta
also whey gourmet raspberry smoothie flaovr protein power with the same ice/milk combo, and half of a banana...yummy... just like a smoothie.
If you blend any protein powder with ice and milk they are like a nic ecreamy milkshake.
Hey Amy,
I am a former MA girl, now living in Charleston, and I am at my four-week mark today- solid food YAY!
As for protein, I get the Isopure carb-free vanilla at Vitamin Shoppe (do they have those up there? I forget). It cost me about $42.00 and one scoop has 50 grams of protein. Now the body can really only absorb about 30 grams of protein at a time, so when I have my protein shake, I also take a papaya enzyme tablet that aids the body in absorbing more nutrients than it usually can.
I get the vanilla, because I can alter it easily with flavored yogurt, diced fresh and frozen fruit, or even toss in a packet of the Carnation Instant Breakfast Carb watchers no sugar added chocolate mix. You can also get sugar-free chocolate syrup to add to it instead. I have even added an individual packet of the raspberry ice or strawberry-lemonade crystal light packets. The strawberry lemonade one made it taste like strawberry sherbert.
Good luck!

I am just about to start my stage 3 diet (my program is laid out in 5 stages) and I was told to keep it simple until stage 4. So I opted to go with MET-RX Metromyosyn Meal replacement to pack as much protein in meal as I could. It's got 37grams of protien. One serving is = 2 meals based on 8 oz per meal.
