Extracts really helping me to drink protein shakes

I don't like the taste of the different types of protein drinks I have tried but I started adding extracts: almond, peppermint, coconut, banana, orange, etc. and it really makes it much easier to drink! Also, protein pudding (just instant sf/ff pudding w/ 2 scoops protein powder added) is good when I want to eat something instead of sip. Anyone who's struggling may want to try it out. Hope this helps!

I found the extracts to be far better than any sf syrups or other flavorings.  I also used a wide variety along with pb2, drink mix singles, and unsweetened cocoa powder both regular and dark.  After awhile I only bought vanilla protein because I could make it into any flavor. 

 Thank you both for this post!  I am on day 13 of a preop diet, and have 10 more days left.  I am SOOOOO sick of the shakes I literally gag them down!  I have a ton of vanilla, so I might have to take a trip to the store tomorrow to get some extracts!  Hope I can find the mint and coconut :) 

I buy the Nectar unflavored protein so the possibilities are endless.  My mood changes from fruity to creamy jseems like every other day so it works out great. I just finished a shake made in my mini-blender with 2 scoops protein, 3 squirts DVinci caramel sf syrup, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 c skim milk and ice. 

Just tonight, I tried a sample pack of Nectar Roadside lemonade mixed with Minute Maid light lemonade.  It is so good. I am going to add ice cubes to it to make a slush or will put it in my popcicle molds.   I had surgery 7/7 and have had a hard time with protein.  I can't wait to try the Twisted Cherry mixed with the lemonade.

I will also try the extracts.  Thanks for the tip.

I always used strawberry extract.  Hard to find in stores, so I order directly from McCormick.

Where are ya'll buying your extracts?  I had surgery 7/11 and am also having a VERY hard time w/getting my protein in.  Seems like everything I mix it with bloats my stomach.

Nana2boys where did you find your Nectar Roadside Lemonaide if you don't mind me asking?

Also, try a little sugar free Jello added to some of your bland items.  Gives shakes that extra boost of flaver.  I made sorbet with Splenda and watermelon and added a small amount of the watermelon Jello and it really helped the flavor.  About a teaspoon makes a world of difference.  Lots of flavors available.  Janice
