YUM discovery! Orange Julius type drink made with Protein Powder!

I just have to share this yummy discovery I made tonite! My friend (and WLS Angel) gave me a sample of Matrix Organge Cream protein powder and I used Tropicana Sugar Free Orange Ade and whipped it up in my magic bullet and poured it over lots of ice. OH BOY... tastes JUST like an Orange Julius and has 23 grams of protein and only 3 carbs! The Tropicana Orange Ade is non carbonated, has ZERO calories and carbs and NO caffeine! The Tropicana Orange Ade is right in the soda aisle in all the grocery stores and comes in either cans or 2 liter bottles. I get my Matrix Protein powder at either http://www.bariatriceating.com or http://www.netrition.com If anyone tries this you have to let me know how you like it! -Marianne C.

Thanks for the tip... Sounds good. I love the tropicana drinks.. both the fruit punch and orangeade SF. have you tried the Nectar Fuzzy Navel. I like that a lot and mix it with the the orange tropicana or orange crystal light. Have you tried any other "fruity" protein drinks that you enjoy? I am searching for something else. I cannot stand the bullets or the isopure drinks. I am sick of chocolate whey powder... i have just been doing the nectar fuzzy navel and still enjoy it but want a change.

Nectar Fuzzy Navel??? NO I have not heard of that. Is that a Matrix flavor? It sounds yummy since I (used to) LOVE Fuzzy Navels! Where do you get it? Funny you should mention the Tropicana Fruit Punch because the grocery store I shop at does not carry the sugar free fruit punch flavor and in fact I never new it existed UNTIL today! I was shopping with a friend at Walmart and went to pick up some Orange Ade and there I see the fruit punch in sugar free! So I picked up a couple bottle since I LOVE fruit punch. I was thinking I'd mix it with Unjury. Do you drink it plain or do you mix it with one of the protein powders?

I LOVE the Fuzzy Navel with SF Tropicana Orangeade! That's my all-time favorite drink. I drink 4 of those a day. LOL I bought mine at The Vitamin Shoppe but I'm sure GNC has it too. I'll have to get some of the orange cream too. So glad I found this post! * Cyndi *

Nectars come in many flavors !! a Pina Colada ( caribean cooler ) twisted cherry, strawberry kiwi, apple ezstacy ! Choclolate fudge , vanilla bean - they are nice and low in calories --- try using the Chocolate fudge as a hot cocoa !!! its awesome . also dont be affraid to add the sf syrups to customize !!!

What are the brand names on the nectars you mentioned? I am clueless where to start??!! Thanks!

You can go to si03.com and order there online , they manufacture Matrix brand protein pwder and Nectar , there prices are pretty good - I get a couple people and order in bulk - saves money !! plus you can request Samples of their other flavors ! They have a really good variety of flavors to choose from ! and hey have a very good protein to calorie ratio ! you can also check some of the nutrition stores in your are to see if they carry them. I tried the orange Julius recipe and was pretty good ! I also added some sf almond syrup to it .
