Getting down the protein powder

So many of us find the taste and or smell of protein powder nasty. 

So many of us at least in the begininng are required to have at least ONE meal that is a protein shake.

Now I am learning to make stuff that is more palatable than not...

my current fav:

4 oz light cranberry juice (with splenda)
8 oz water
cup of ice
scoop of Nectar fuzzy navel protein powder

place in a sports bottle and shake shake shake.

easy to drink... the cranberry really adds some zing to it...

Nectar was the one protein powder I could do early out. I liked the fruity flavors and turned them into smoothies with ice and yogurt and stuff!! Glad you found a new fave!! :)

Sounds great!

If I add Absolut to it - it'll be a zinger for sure!  LOL

I'll try that when I'm six months out Candy...  LOL you are a trip girl!

YUMMMM!!!! Sounds like I would like this one. I love me some lite cranberry juice ;o)

I love cranberry too.. I always buy the individual ocean spray SF drink mixes..

Yeah the smell can be funky sometimes (especially with certain brands). I'm a creamy gal--always have been. I have a thing of Twisted Cherry Nectar. I like it well enough. It's just that it tastes like a beverage. If it is going to fill me up I want it to taste like food...or dessert...or something of the like.

I'm kinda weird...have you guessed yet?

it's why I love you so!

I am one of those people that doesn't do well with protein powders.  I still buy mostly ready-made protein shakes for this reason.  However, I have gotten into using French Vanilla powder as a cream replacement in coffee.  I hate to throw that out there though... since we're really no supposed to be drinking coffee and I drink WAY too much of it.  I started to get an ulcer a couple months ago and my doctor said it was likely due to coffee drinking and I had to take that god-awful carafate.  But of course, I'm still drinking coffee.  In any event.. I get at least 20 grams of protein in a day via this method.

we were told coffee after 3 months...   but I may stick with the decaf...
