India - protein shakes

[Guest guest]

We have a recipie folder in our files section with protein shake recipies that

are great. I add yogurt (Dannon because dannon is SO MUCH less in sugar) and

then I get that raspberry sugar free syrup in the coffee isle and add that to my

strawberry and raspberry shakes, YUM!!

actually talked about adding fruit to them in a blender. I get the strawberry

ones but they taste a little weird, so adding frozen strawberries (no sugar) in

a blender might make them taste better and add in some fruit serving too. They

suggested also adding blueberries to the vanilla ones ... raspberries would

probably work too. I'd not liked the vanilla ones, but those might be good

options. I keep thinking, why can't I just do that without the surgery? I'd lose

weight, right? Though obviously if I could I would have by now. Even my large

successes with weight loss seem temporary. I guess if I have the surgery I'll

just have to find out if the Atkins shakes make me dump or not ... I hope not

.... I have a case of them.

India,

I have taken the Atkins shakes if I am going to be away from the house,

like a camping trip or something like that. If its a hassle to carry my big

tub of protein powder, I will take those. I have not dumped on them, and

they taste ok. Its better than not getting any protein in, like if your on

the go all day on a trip some place.........Good luck
