Protein Shakes

It took me awhile to find a protein shake I really liked.  My nutritionist gave me quite a few samples before surgery.  I couldn't stomach Premiere Protein (it made me gag) and I thought if that is what protein shakes taste like and I had to drink them, I might change my mind about surgery.  However, the other sample she gave me was Unjury and it really is delicious.  So I use Unjury in the Chocolate Splendor flavor.  I have a Magic Bullet blender and I put in one cup milk, one cup ice and one scoop of protein powder.  It's delicious!  No weird chalky taste, no gross after taste.  Sometimes I add a half banana.  I'm 5 months out next week and still drink a protein shake every day because I just can't eat 70 grams of protein - I get full too fast and all I eat is protein.  Works for me!  I'm down about 80 pounds!  I get Unjury protein powder at the hospital pharmacy where I had my surgery done or I sometimes order it from Amazon.  I highly recommend it.

Here's a few recipes: https://www.pinterest.com/eggface/protein-shakes-and-smoothi es/ :) hope they give you a few ideas for changing it up.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and advice.  I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one that has cringed thinking about having to drink a shake.  I will try some of these options as I have not tried anything like these.  All I do is shake it up in my shaker bottle, so I will try blending some with my Ninja. 

Thanks again!  IDK what I would do without this website and being able to ask all my questions! :) 

I've found that I can stomach them a little better when I blend it with ice.  The cold seems to help :)
