Try sugar free pudding. Buy some unflavored protain powder and mix it with soup.

The Profect vials saved me - only 2.7 ounces and they aren't powder based. Sharyn

I use GNC ProPerformance Liquid Protein, punch flavor. It has 18 grms of protein in a 3 tablespoon serving. I mix it into a tall glass of Crystal Light and kill two birds with one stone. I drink it at least twice a day. I spent literally hundreds of dollars trying to find a protein powder or drink that I could tolerate. I hated them all. I finally gave up and just tried to eat my protein as much as I could. It wasn't until I was about 9 mos out that I discovered this product. Now, I can up my protein easily. I still eat protein forward as much as is possible, but I supplement with this. It is so easy. It doesn't taste good by itself, but in **** goes down so easy. In fact, I have come to like it so much now that I am preferring it to water, which is all I drank for the first 9 mos post op. I have heard, but can't verify, that if you don't like a GNC product they will take it back, so what have you got to lose--give it a shot! Good luck in finding what works for you. I know it is a struggle to find just the right thing.

What about Hank's Protein powder? I received samples from them and tried the chocolate I did mix it with milk, but you can mix it with water too. It was delicious. Here's the link to order samples: http://www.healthfitnesschannel.com/FreeProteinSample.htm Good Luck, Peggy

Thanks for the ideas, unfortunately she is in the hospital and the only protien powder she has avalible is what the hospital provides. Which only comes in Vanilla and strawberry. We tried mixing it in yougart she said that was gross, She said mixing it in water is ok but she is getting tired of it. She will be in the hospital for a while so any ideas are appriciated.
