Muscle Milk?

I found some at our local Big Lots for only 70cents a bottle.....I picked a couple up. I was looking at the protein in them & as well as the fact they are lactose free.  I figured they would be a good source of liquid & protein after my surgery.
Anybody here try them before? How are they?

Kinda yummy - I love my EAS Advantedge - but those work out pretty well.  I love the chocolate milk shake flavor - you get a sense of protein in the Muscle Milks - I'm going to go to my Big Lots to see if they have them there - because they are like 1.99 to 2.49 in a convenience store.  Just check the expiration date - and if you find that you don't like them before/after the surgery - someone else may want them.

Candy.....
    I have tried a couple different proteins, mostly powders tho. I did buy some of the EAS advantage when our local walmart had them on a clearance rack! I saw the MM yesterday, and just figured they were still in date, they were pre-made, and they were CHEAP!
I got the Strawberry.....put one in the fridge last night so it could be good & cold. I just used it as my breakfast...........it wasnt too bad. Its doable.......hopefully I will be able to tolerate it after surgery. I only bought about a dozen of them, and at that price, I didnt loose anything.

I have yet to really try powdered - the samples I'd gotten kinda left me feeling like I had grit, plus I don't normally use blenders - so the ready to drinks are the ones I've tried.  I have even tried the Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement drinks - you add water and shake up - and it was UGH.  

Now that I'm working a 2nd job - I will invest in a bag of EAS powder and try it. 

How do you like the powdered - do you do anything special with them?

The powders I have tried are so so......the first time I used it, I thought I was going to barf! But since I have been experimenting, their not bad.
I have mixed with fruit, SF syrups, greek yogurt, tofu, & milk.....different variations about every time. I always use my blender.......I havent had issues with air in it yet.....I am guessing that may be more noticable after surgery. My hubby & I have a protein shake for breakfast everyday rigt now......I have only made 1 that our kids liked!
I also have a list of over 200 recipes that was forwarded to me by another OH'er if ya want it. {just send me your email addy}

[email protected]   Thanks!

Just emailed it over to ya!

Wow - the titles are tempting - I started kinda drooling when I saw the Chocolate Peanut Butter Death recipe................

Have you tried any of the recipes?  If so, let me know which ones you've done.  I think I have a blender purchase to do this evening or tomorrow. 

Girl......dont get my lyen!
We have made sooooo many of those! I couldnt tell ya which ones we have done! The chocolate/peanut butter is good!

Have fun!

For me the muscle milk has too much sugar.  Did you get the light or was it the regular muscle milk?
