What Did You Eat Today? Weds. Hump Day

Good afternoon! Are ya'll having a wonderful day? It was a pretty uneventful day... same old office work... But my eating fared pretty good for my tummy. Here are my choices for the day: Early Morning Protein Chocolate Matrix/Syntha 6 combo
Breakfast Whey Gourmet Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake Lunch Chicken taco salad from the Mexican restaurant Afternoon protein Whey Gourmet Pina Colada Supper - IT WAS LONGHORN NIGHT! Child's grilled chicken from Longhorn, little bit of salad & few bites sweet tater with splenda Write and let me know how your day went. Hope to hear some great dishes/shake recipes!

Ok, now a few more questions, What is the Chocolate Matrix/Syntha6 Combo and how do you make the Whey GourmeChocl. Peanut butter shake?  Also the whey gourmet pina colada.  Do you get unflavored whey bullets to make these?  You can tell I am very new at this can't you! grumpy makes me happy

What is the Chocolate Matrix/Syntha6 Combo This is a combo of two types of protein powders that I use.  Syntrax Matrix Chocolate 5.0 is the first kind.  It's a very good chocolate protein powder that you can use as the base of many chocolate flavored shakes.  For a 5 lb bag, its 39.99 at Vitamin Shoppe, or you can get it at Netrition for 37.99 (add $5 shipping) or Bariatric Eating for 39.99, s&h extra.  In this particular shake, I only use 3/4 scoop. The other shake is called Syntha 6 Mochachino.  You can buy it at Vitamin Shoppe locally, and Bariatric Eating.  (I don't think Netrition has it)  It's a 2.9 lb container for 43.99.  It is higher in carbs and from what I have heard from a new postop, it can cause dumping!  That's because it has 15 total carbs for one scoop.  This is much more than most bariatric powders.  It also has higher calories.  I am at maintenance and can afford the carbs/calories.  BUT, still only use 1/8 of a scoop to conserve my carbs and calories budget on other things.  It has the most genuine and best mocha flavor of any protein product/powder I have tried. I also add one sleeve of a sugar free chocolate milk mix.  Kroger has one called In An Instant for 2.00 a box.  Walmart has Moo Magic sugar free for only 98 cents.  It has like 5 calories, 1 carb, zero everything else.  It provides a deeper richer chocolate flavor. How do you make the Whey GourmeChocolate Peanut butter shake?  PVL Whey Gourmet is a brand of protein shakes.  You can buy them on Bariatric Eating.com or Netrition.com.   They cost approximately $26.99 a container.  These comes in various flavors but this one reminds me of a Reese's cup.  I like to make it in advance, put it in the fridge and let it get really cold.  All I add to it is water.  But, sometimes (keep in mind that I am not trying to lose weight any longer... I did not drink any milk during my weight loss mode) I will add a few ounces of Hood Calorie Countdown Milk and a few ounces of water (2 oz Hood, 6 oz water...  sometimes 3 oz Hood, 5 oz water) Depends on how I feel... and how creamy I want it.  Also the whey gourmet pina colada.  Same as the Whey Gourmet Chocolate Peanut Butter answer...  except that it really does taste like pina colada!  Just add water or your liquid combo of milk/water.  Again, tastes great really REALLY cold Do you get unflavored whey bullets to make these?  No.  I do purchase grape, fruit punch and blue rasberry bullets.  But with these, I use cheap versions of Crystal light (either Kroger or Wally World) and add one single flavor crystal light to a bottled water...  drink out just about an ounce or two, then add an ounce or 1 1/2 oz of the New Whey Liquid protein to my bottle of flavored drink.  You cannot even tell there is protein in it.  I love it.  I keep it in the fridge too and switch from flavor to flavor all throughout the day.
