Protein bullets

Hi this is my first post EVER... so please bear with me... I purchased 2 boxes of the protein bullets and now just cannot stand them. They are so syrupy sweet I get nauseous. Can anyone suggest any recipes to make these a little more tolerable. I hate to just throw them away and I dont know any other WLS patients to share them with. Thanks!

I know some people will mix them half at a time into a glass of crystal light (depending on the flavor you got). I just hold my nose and chug half, put it in the fridge, and repeat the process later lol. Sorry I couldn't help ya more. Donn

I poured mine in a bottle of water. It wasn't near as strong and Wasn't that bad. I couldn't drink then straight either. GROSS!!!! Hope this helps. Tiffany

I know a lot of people will mix it with some crushed ice (or blend it in a blender with ice) and a packet of splenda or other sweetner to make a slushy. Remember that you should only do half of a bullet at a time if you have the 42 grams bullets. Otherwise, you should go on your local state board and post to see if anyone who lives around you may want to pay you for them because I know a lot of people use them. Misty

Misty, why did you make the comment about only doing 1/2 at a time? I've been taking the whole thing!

Your body can only digest about 25 grams of protein at a time. If you drink the whole 42 gram bullet, you will not absorb it all and it can make you feel sick. I found this out in my first couple of weeks. I called my nut because I thought the whey protein was making me lactose intolerant. Everytime I drank a shake I felt sick to my stomach. She asked me how many grams of protein were in it. I told her 43, and she told me that was why. I cut down to half strength shakes and haven't been sick with one eversince. I get the 25 gram bullets and they're great! Jeannie

Shannon- There are lots of people in the Richmond area that post on the VA board. You may be able to find someone to buy them from you. Otherwise, I just chug mine....and then follow it with a water chaser. Hope that helps... We'd love to have you join us on the VA Board either way! Christina S
