Powdered protein question
Good evening y'all , so I am moving right along at almost 6 weeks 😄!
So I had my solid food class, and the nutritionist said no more liquid protein, but to buy unflavored protein to add to my foods. My question is which is the best protein powder? And what foods do y'all put it in? I seen some of you put it in your coffee drinks, exactly how do you make that ?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
I don't know why some bariatric practices are still trying to keep patients off protein powder. Heck, even our Soldiers drink it a lot because it's quick, easy and healthy...helps keep the weight off. I think drinking protein shakes rather than dense food has kept my sleeve small, restriction great, and my weight near my lowest goal weight.

Protein Coffee
1 - 20 oz shaker cup with wire ball
4 to 6 oz of 1/2 & 1/2, water, Lactaid milk, or any combo of low carb fluid
1 to 1 1/2 scoops of Syntrax Nectar vanilla protein powder (JayRobb vanilla whey protein isolate is also good. Look for a protein powder where whey protein isolate is the first ingredient)
small splash of DaVinci cinnamon sugar free syrup or a dash of ground cinnamon and a packet of Truvia or Splenda
{shake} until blended, about 5 seconds
Pour into large/huge huge mug or just keep it in the blender bottle
Add 9 to 10 oz of hot brewed coffee (decaf or reduced caffeine)
{stir}
Add hot liquid to cold liquid protein slurry to avoid lumps. Keep the protein slurry below 160 degrees.

I've been buying an unflavored off Amazon I like by Bulksupplements.com. I just ordered this one because some mentioned it on OH, the nice thing about it is you only need One TBSP to get 30g protein. I haven't tried it yet. Genepro protein powder.
