Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 There are several brands of soy based protein powder that are O.K. My picky 9 year old actually likes the Naturade Total Soy Meal replacement mixed with plain yogurt and chololate syrup and/or fruit in a blender. It says it's gluten free on the label.

That said, does anybody have suggestion for a high protein meal replacement shake? I'm pretty much willing to try anything - I was holding my nose to drink the LaBrada shakes anyway because they tasted so bad! Thanks in advance, Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

I add a half scoop or scoop of the powder to milk or I toss it into a smoothie made with yogurt or coconut milk and frozen berries. For smoothies, I use the blender. For milk, I just use a frothing wand. My husband uses the powder in nut milk for two of his many daily snacks/meals (he has hypoglycemia). ygg Quote
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Revival shakes are really good! And I’m not willing to hold my nose to drink a smoothie! 20 g protein per shake and 500mg calcium too! www.revivalsoy.com I like the vanilla with splenda best because it blends well with other flavors. I like to mix them with frozen fruit and juice. They’re gluten free and dairy-free(and egg, yeast, etc. free). I don’t like the coffee flavored ones. Laurie lbilyeu@...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Jen if you can do soy Silk makes a smoothie in a bunch of flavors in the refrigerated section and if you can do dairy don't those mainstream yogurt shakes contain a decent amount of protein?? I love to munch on salted almonds as a snack and they are high in protein also a hard boiled egg is an easy protein addition to your lunch. I make peanut butter bread thats so yummy. Lots of ways to sneak in more protein w/o having to purchase special powders, that's my 2 cents. --- as an aside, usually i stay away from the hot topics but i have to say please research Splenda before using! yes it is Gluten free though Quote
