[quote=Marella;302055]Peaches... haven't tried that yet. Sounds good.

I need a new chocolate besides Carnation Instant Breakfast... Ovaltine... does it have that powdery taste like CIB does? I've seen the commercials, but have never tried it.

-------------------------------------------

I have also used Blueberries with Bananas and Strawberries. I don't know what CIB taste like, have not had that, but I don't notice any powdery taste with the Ovaltine.

Just thought I'd mention it since no one else brought it up....
MiladyB posted a good article about the different types of protein powder and which ones work best for us after WLS. I'm not techno savvy or I'd paste the link but I believe it was under the NUTRITION heading. It's definitely worth the read before you spend a lot of $$$$ on powder. Good luck.

Profect protein concentrated liquid are 25 gms. of protein in 3 oz..
They taste best diluted in a 12-16 ox glass of ice water but you can drink them straight. They are expensive but are the best taking protein out there! Believe me, I've tried MANY over the past 6 yrs.. I like
blue raspberry.
I just had the stomaphyx surgical proceedure to reduce
the size of my pouch last week and this is one of the protein drinks that
I like best and it is so convernient. My surgeon gave me samples to try.

Wow, have protein drinks come a LONG way since I had my bypass surgery 6 1/2 yrs. ago!

Bariatric surgeryProfect is indicated for pre-op, post-op and long-term protein supplementation. Requirements for bariatric patients include high assimilation ratio, nutrient density, and palatable taste.A single, 2.7-ounce vial of Profect provides 50% of the U.S. R.D.I. for protein, as well as the complete spectrum of water-soluble vitamins. This protein-to-volume ratio exceeds the needs of bariatric patients. Profect also provides exceptional taste and texture, and 100% of the protein is pre-digested via enzymatic hydrolyses, thereby increasing absorption/assimilation.

Deborah, here is how I make my Orange Julius. It's a pretty good imitation!

6 ounces orange juice
1 packet NSF vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast
2 scoops Any Whey protein powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice (optional)

Blend all ingredients.

I have one of these every other morning -- it provides 40 grams of protein.

I'm not allowed to do orange juice (I break out), so I use double strength Crystal Light Orange instead.

8 oz CL Double Strength Orange (or sugar free equivalent)
1 to 2 scoops Vanilla Protein (will vary with your taste preference)
Add Ice and crush in magic Bullet

I've also tried adding:

1/2 cup Bryer's no sugar added Vanilla (it keeps the mixture blended longer)
AND
1 to 2 tsps vanilla pudding (sugar free) can add a thickness, but the mixture needs to be put in the fridge for 15 minutes, or the freezer for under 5 minutes, for the thickness to set.

----

I ran out of orange so today I made double strength CL Fruit Punch... with the ice cream mixture above but no pudding, plus I added 2 strawberries... Wow... it was a great tasty change.
