Protein Smoothies/Shakes

Good Saturday morning!!!  I know this subject has been around and back around, but I really value your opinion so I'm asking once again.  If you have time, would you post some of your favorite smoothies/shakes -- without Yogurt if possible. Have a great weekend! Trudy

I love the pro-plex protein powder (chocolate) from GNC. I drink one shake in the morning with low-fat soy milk and on occasion i will throw a bannana in there to mix things up. It is a little costly though almost thirty dollars for two pounds.

THE "ON" protein powder is about 33.00 per 5 pound jug. and i like using the vanilla ice cream flavor because i can add what eveer to it .  My favorite is 8 oz soy milk because i cant drink reg milk and 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 tablesppon splenda, 6 oz of strawberry flavored water blend, add 1scoop of protein powder and stir slightly if you beat with the protein powder in there it will get too foamy.  I also vary it sometimes with sub. frozen peaces and peach flavored water.  or i have made it with nextles s.f. choc mix 3 or 4 ice cubes and a teaspoon of p.butter.  only limited by your imagination.  if you like coffee favors you can do that too.

I am still pre-op, but in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet and I have been using the whey gourmet vanilla ice cream flavor alot, I ordered it from bariatriceating.com.  I also ordered the matrix cookies and cream flavor and it is very good as well.  Yesterday I made my vanilla and added some almond flavoring and cherry flavoring and it was wonderful......I have just played and found what works for me!  Good luck!

My absolute favorite protein drink is AchievOne, which I get from Bariatriceating.com.  But they're pricy, so I don't get them unless they're on sale.  I agree with Jan; vanilla powder is the best because you can add so many things to it. Patty
