Ugh! The thought of these just makes my stomach curl! Anyone who knows me knows I am a SUPER PICKY eater/drinker. I eat/drink NOTHING with any type of artificial sweetner in it. I can't stand the stuff! This part of this whole process gives me so much stress. I've tried those premade Slimfast drinks--DISGUSTING! I tried some other natural flavored protein powder that this nice lady at Vitamin Shoppe suggested--YUCK! I've tried Chieke, two different flavors--Gross! I've tried unflavored Unjury--It wasn't good either, but was the best of what I've tried so far. I'm waiting on some Jay Robb powder I ordered the other day and the Syntrax Nectar I ordered tonight. Please, please, please let one of those be better than the Unjury. Otherwise, I'm stuck just having to hold my nose and get the Unjury down. If there is a "bright" side to this, someone made a post about adding a drop or two of candy extract to the shake to help with the flavor. I ordered several flavors of it too tonight. ANYTHING to make this part of the process better. I just wanna go to sleep two weeks prior to my surgery and wake up 6 weeks later so that I can begin using food (or at least maybe only 1 protein drink a day plus food) to get my protein in! Anyone know if they make a pill for that? He! He!

I've been using the Pemium Protein shakes from Costco... I mix one box w1-2tsp instant coffe and 1cup of ice. It's really good. Ive found myself craving them at times.
ReplyDeleteI too don't like artificial sweeteners but have found that I seem to be able to tolerate Splenda a little better than the others.
