Back to protein drinks

I'll admit it... I haven't been drinking my proteins for months now. They basically made me puke so I put them aside. Lately, I found a place in Crete that I could order from online, so I ordered a couple of flavors hoping to start taking them again. The "banana flavor" was almost drinkable, but I was nursing a glass all day! In last Monday's chat, someone emailed me some recipes for protein shakes and I tried one of them. What a revelation! I now drink 3 shakes a day ad even LIKE them!
I'm not as hungry, I'm eating less and have stopped snacking. Here's to hope for future losses!

Congratulations - that sounds like good news. I must admit I go through phases of drinking protein shakes and not - I prefer not to, but do need to supplement sometimes.

Amalia,

I'm so glad you found something that you can live with.  Trying to find something to mix with the protein to make it palatable has been a nightmare for me.  I finally started using chocolate milk and it did the trick.  Not only can I get it in 1% milkfat, but I also found a "no sugar added" type.  I"m finally getting my protein in and I can quit lying to the doctor now.

Colleen

Yayyyy ladies ! ! !

Woooo Hoooo!!!!!!!! So glad you found a solution to the protein supplement dilema! Keep up the great work, and may the number on your scale and clothing continue to fall! LOL.

For me personally, I have found the easiest way to get my protein supplement in is to put it in my coffee in the morning.  Makes a chocolate coffee, yummmm.

 Hey Amalia, glad you were able to resolve your protein shake issue.  I have yet to resolve mine, I hate them.  I haven't drank one in two weeks.  An aunt of mine recommended Muscle Milk so I'm going to try that soon.

could you please share the recipies...i would really appreciate it...thanks
