Looking for some suggestions on products.
I want to get some suggestions on some products to try and I know you all are a great bunch to ask! Heres what I want:
I want a flovored protein powder I can make and mix into coffee in the mornings instead of creamer.
A flavored protein powder that would be good to make into an ice cream (once I figure out how).
I would like a book to read that discusses the mental side after the weight loss, something that can help with self image would be good.
I would like to get some protein bars that are tastey for when I can not fight off the snack monster anymore (it's been happening to often at work).
If you all can give me some ideas. I would prefer to find someplace I can buy them instead of ordering online but I can order too if they are better tasting. It's all about the taste. Something that doesnt taste like I am eating protein is better for me.
Thanks all!
Sher

I don't know what area of town you are in. But if you are near Rivergate or Cool Springs check out The Vitamin Shoppe. They have a wide variety of protein bars, RTD and protein powders. You might try Oh Yeah! RTD as your creamer substitute; or one of the other RTD they have available for single purchase.
Several of us regularly sample new products we find. Some are rejected after one bite and others become part of our arsenal of "go to" products for when that desire for a treat hits. I don't advocate the regular use of protein bars but if it becomes a choice between a real candy bar and something lower sugar/carb and high protein that satisfies that craving - I'm taking the protein bar!
Some of my favorite bars are:
Supreme Protein - $100,000 Bar - YUM!!
Oh Yeah! - chocolate, caramel, peanuts/peanut butter, nougat - you get the picture
Power Crunch Bars - like a chocolate coated sugar wafer cookie
Rockin'Roll Bars - this one tastes like a Payday
Remember...M O D E R A T I O N, not a daily item. Sometimes just a couple of bites is all it takes to defeat the snack monster.
You might check out recovering fatty dot com for product reviews and a list of favorites. There are also recipes for just about anything you could want, including protein ice cream. Protein ice cream is basically a protein shake frozen in a small ice cream freezer. Again, not a daily item but a better alternative than a pint of Haagen Dazs.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
Hi Sher,
When I read this I was trying to think of the name of a protein powder that "Scott" used to put in his coffee.. If he comes by sometime soon we will have to grab him and ask him what the name of that coffee protein stuff was that he used. I think you guys have the same surgeon so there should be no discrepancies on being able to us the powder.
Now this one is easy, go to eggface.com this saint of a lady has everything you could possibly need and more to make protein ice cream, just spend a little time at her web site and you will think you are in ice cream heaven.
Okay, on this one Shar I would like to teach you to make your own protein bars... That's right I could teach you but I would have to charge....LOL... no wait that is a song.
Then we could find a great book about the mental side of weight loss a have a book club and discuss the book... cool count me in,,,
