This is a great one to drink after working out. Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Drink: Crush 3 ice cubes in blender add 6 oz water or fat free milk add 4 frozen strawberries (no sugar added or syrup) add 2 tablespoons of reduced fat cream cheese 1/4 teaspoon almond extract add a serving of any vanilla protein drink. You can substitute other fruit such as raspberries, banana, etc. I also love to set it in the freezer for awhile and get it not quite frozen, but with ice crystals in it. It's not the same as a cheesecake- but it has that flavor. Protein Delight Chocolate Coconut I just have to tell ya'll how good this flavor is. It tastes just like an almond joy. I mix it with water, a splash of Carb Countdown Milk and ice. Use my magic bullet and blend. It even has pieces of coconut and chocolate in it. It is really great. It is hard to believe it is a protein shake.---------- I bet that would make some killer protein balls!---------- I know!!! It's my new favorite; I have to have it at least once a day. I call it my Almond Joy Shake. It makes me feel like I'm splurging on a special treat. Oh, I also add a splash of S/F DaVinci Coconut syrup. Makes it extra coconut- ty..... YUMMY!!!!!!--------- I got a sample pack of all the protein delight flavors at www.enjoyhealth.com but Susan Maria's site has the 1.1 pound tubs for 3.00 less at 16.75---------.Have you tried the white chocolate strawberry one yet? I want to order it because it sounds so yummy but wanted to hear from a fellow chocolate coconut lover how it compares in taste. Also, I think they make a lemon flavored one; it's not sold at bariatriceating.com I saw it on another site but was thinking that sounded pretty yummy too. I start off with Atkins shakes and then couldn't stomach them any longer...so now I'm using an Unflavored protein mixed w/crystal light or SF decaf French Vanilla Coffee which is great...I also like the Matrix 5.0 it's like hot coco...and I have Protein Delite Strawberry & white co****an't say it's a WOW protein but it's passable) I do like the Protein Delite Pineapple Vanilla that one is great, just mix with milk or pineapple Kool-Aid... I would get an unflavored protein and that way you can mix it with anything you want. Fuzzy navel from nectar ...and now I'm in love. It's really smooth, not gritty at all. When you mix it up it looks like sunrise crystal light...and very palatable. I drank it alone without flavoring it as I wanted to see what it tasted like. Very good I would say. I am buying some today and I plan to mix it with sunrise crystal light. If you go to Susan Maria's website, she is out of stock on the canisters, but she has them in the to go pack which gives you 21 single serve portions. That is what I want to get so that I can take my protein with me like I do my crystal light. Hope this helps you. Good luck on the protein search. I really like several of the drinks from Protein Delight, Alpine Milk Chocolate, Strawberry White chocolate, Vanilla Very Berry. I have also tried and liked their Raspberry Yogurt and Chocolate Coconut. They have 19.5 grams of protein per serving. You can get these at Susan Maria's site bariatriceating.com. From GNC I also like the low carb Ultramet in Chocolate Fudge. It takes really good mixed with water and a couple of teaspoons of cool whip and ice. The best thing about this shake is that it has 35 grams of protein per serving and it comes individually packaged so you can take it anywhere. It also mixes well in a shaker cup as does the protein delight. If you don't have a Magic Bullet I suggest getting one. They are great. I tried allot of different samples and the best one for me has been profect by protica www.protica.com it is only 2.7 oz so easy to drink and tastes some what like Kool-Aid. You can order a sample through them. And Matrix 5.o chocolate is really good too it is either hot or cold but you are back to 8oz and this early out it takes so long to drink and you feel so full! Shari I agree with you about the unjury strawberry, but their chocolate is very good. I drank several canisters of it pre and post op and then went to chocolate matrix 5.0 and then the protein Delite chocolate coconut....hmmm chocolate...do you see a pattern here? I remember reading that someone said they "couldn't drink a chocolate shake every day for the rest of their life" and I thought....I can! Good luck. Try ordering a bunch of samples and pick your favorite. The absolute best protein smoothies in the world are RTD Xtreme smoothies available through Bariatriceating.com. They are smooth and taste SOOOOOOO good! There are 5 flavors. I would suggest getting the 5 pack to try the different flavors. My favorites are Praline Scream and Cappuccino Xtreme - yummy! And each can has 35 grams of protein! I don't know how I would have gotten this far without them. And my surgeon told me that people who use protein shakes or smoothies for breakfast (when I have mine), lose more weight and keep it off than people who just eat normal breakfast food. Try them - they are AWESOME! Use Pro Blend 55. One scoop with low fat or skim milk give ya 35.5 grams of protein and it isn't too expensive either......it runs $24.99 for a 2 lb can. I mix it with Hood's chocolate carb countdown milk and it is very good. My favorite flavors of the protein is Mocha Cappuccino and the Chocolate fudge. It isn't real thick and it is very smooth and good. I have recommended it to lots of others here and they like it too. I buy mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. GNC carries it but it is almost $10 more there. Some of the other websites that sell protein powders are very expensive. Sylvester Stallone has a protein pudding called Instone pudding. It has 20 grams of protein for 6 oz. It comes in Choc, Vanilla, Lemon and banana cream. It is very good and doesn't taste bad at all. You can also get it at the Vitamin shoppe. It is $6.99 for 4 puddings. Good luck as you prepare for your surgery. Syntrax called Nectar Roadside lemonade it really does taste like the lemonade you by from a stand I started adding protein powder to my Jello SF pudding. It tastes very good and is cheaper. You can find Instone Pudding at Drugstore.com on sale for under $3.00 a 4 pack. I did enjoy the banana creme and chocolate pre-op. NOW SPORTS unflavored whey protein and mixing it with Crystal light which is pretty good because you can choose the flavor you what without having to buy a whole container of it I just now started trying other protein mixes...I like the Matrix 5.0 hot coco...that's really good when it's cold.. Protein Delite Pineapple Vanilla -I like this with Hood countdown milk or just pineapple Kool-Aid Protein Delite Strawberry & white coco-I've only tried it once with the Hood carb countdown milk and it wasn't bad but not my 1st choice. You will have to keep trying different proteins until you find the one that you like best. My main staple for protein is the unflavored one... "Cheesecake" protein drink. Crush 3 ice cubes in blender add 6 oz water or fat free milk add 4 fresh or frozen strawberries (no sugar added) 2 tablespoons of reduced fat cream cheese 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 1 serving size of any vanilla protein powder Blend well.

Good Canned Protein Shake? Worldwide Pure Protein www.vitaminshoppe.com I found the individual cans at a local Vitamin Shoppe hear in Dallas where I live. They sell the individual cans nationally at all GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Bally's, and Lifetime Fitness. Check the websites for each of these places to find one near you! I love Worldwide Pure Protein, 35 grams and 11 ounces in chocolate, cappuccino or strawberry, available at Trader Joes. Good Canned Protein Shake? EAS Advantage Edge They are 100 calories, and very low carb with no sugar. They have 15 grams of protein and 11 oz. They come in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, caramel and other flavors. They are in a shelf stable container-not a can. EAS Advant Edge in the silver 4 pack - about $4.97 at Wal-Mart. They're not thick, no after taste and the chocolate tastes somewhat like a Yoo Hoo. Susan Maria at www.bariatriceating.com!! I had to try the protein powders people have been raving about from Susan's site and received my first order today. I tried a protein drink at lunch and it was absolutely delicious! I mixed cold skim milk with her sample packet of Protein Delite's Strawberry White Chocolate protein powder (19.5 grams of protein, not including the milk!). It tasted like a thin strawberry milkshake with real pieces of strawberry! So good!!! I really love the raspberry yogurt one, mixed with skim milk and frozen strawberries. I wiz it up in the bullet and it is delish. If you order directly from Scitec, they will send you samples, give you 15% off retail prices and there is free shipping over a certain amount. 1-888-scitec7 or www.scitecnutrition.com I called the company and they sent me a free sample of the Strawberry White Chocolate and Cantaloupe. I'm so very in love with Scitech's products. Hopefully you got a sample of the pineapple vanilla... SO good! Protein Smoothie After undergoing gastric bypass surgery, the need existed for increasing protein in my diet. This is what I came up with for breakfast. The amount of protein depends upon the protein powder you use. After trial and expensive error, the protein powder I found I liked best is Unjury brand, available at www.unjury.com 1 banana, cut up 2-3 strawberries, hulled and cut in half 1 scoop protein powder or chocolate protein powder or strawberry protein powder 2 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute

Cheryl, I've made a lot of these smoothies, in fact, some of them are my recipes . Many of the recipes call for a particular brand of protein but use whatever brand you have. Gina

You are one creative lady!!! These were posted by a man on the food board, but I thought that they were wonderful, thanks for letting us know that you are the creator, and will you pass other good stuff our way???? We are all just dying for new things to eat all the time!!! Cheryl

Cheryl, I have a lot of recipes on my profile.. but I'm not the creator of "ALL" of them. A lot of the recipes came from a surgeon in California who posted them on a bulletin board for bariatric patients. I gagged and heaved over protein powder when it was mixed as directed on the container. I wasted a lot of money but then I got the "California" recipes and discovered that protein doesnt have to be nasty. My brain exploded with new ideas. I just started mixing stuff together. My logic was, if it tastes good then I'll add protein to it. Just think of drinks you liked before surgery, then adapt that drink to be more healthy. Some drinks will end up being poured down the drain but when you come up with one that you really like, it'll be worth all the ones that you poured out. My personal favorite: Sunrise Smoothy.. adapted from Sonic's Sunshine Smoothie. Gina
