protein drinks/shakes?
Hey denise,
I use the brand body fortress in the chocolate. Its powder and you mix it with eight ounces of milk. Its got 23 grams of protein before the milk is added. I have been drinking this for a while now. I buy it at walmart in the pharmacy section and its like 11.97 here. It comes in vanilla also and friut punch flavored but have never tryed them.I cant afford the expensive stuff out there and its convienient because theres a walmart in every town just about if one is out....Hope this helps.
Hugs marge
Personally, I love Isopure Dutch chocolate. You can get it @ GNC or Vit Shoppe. 25 grams of protein in 8 oz of water or milk. They also have vanilla and strawberry....
I love to get the vanilla - add a few pieces of fruit, peanut butter, or s/f coffee flavors
I got this tip from Susan Maria Leach's cookbook. love it love it love it.
I use Isopure Zero Carb Creamy Vanilla from GNC. I drink one shake every morning and usually one at night. I use one scoop with 8 oz skim milk and add about 1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa and about 1 tsp of no sugar added strawberry preserves. I blend it all up and love it. I hated protein drinks in the beginning. I had my surgery on 12/16/05 and had lots of trouble with nausea, etc. I still have trouble eating heavy foods. I started at 257 and weigh 142 today.
I worry every day about blowing this. How long ago was your surgery?
