Great Protein Shake Additions - Full Liquid Phase

[missyinacage]

It's been a long time since I've had to doctor up protein shakes. I've been going through old posts but thought a new thread might be good for the newbies .. and me lol So please, add on your favorite concoctions. Here are 2 new ones I've discovered.

I found a Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer sugar free water flavoring packet. And I added 1/2 a packet to Dave's vanilla protein shake. HOLY CRAP! It tastes just like a root beer float. So good.

In honor of Shamrock Shake season: 1/4 t. (or to taste) of MINT extract in a chocolate or vanilla protein shake. Not peppermint, although if you like it ..

I did the root beer shake and it’s pretty good . I’ll have to try the mint one

Hello Missy,
I have heard of the root beer float shake but haven't tried it.

I have also heard of taking the "orange soda" sugar free flavor powder and adding it to a vanilla shake for an ORANGE CREAMSICLE!
Again, I haven't tried it yet but it sounds so yummy.

I have taken, 8 oz crystal light lemonade and added strawberry protein powder for a strawberry lemonade shake and it was delicious!

Oh, sounds so good! I am going to try the root beer float today!!

What is Dave’s vanilla protein shake?

My personal favorite protein shake is called Chocolate Cake Batter - I use chocolate protein powder then add a couple of teaspoons of the s/f cream cheese pudding. It comes out thick like a milkshake. I love it!

I use Herbalife protein powder. I also use Herbalife liftoff - very very good!!

What is Dave’s vanilla protein shake?

Dave only likes Fairlife. It has no added whey, which apparently agrees better with his system. I always bought the Elevate protein powder at Aldi and added it to milk. So, it's really a question of what you like and can tolerate.

I just scored 2 cases of each of some flavors that come available seldom from Sams today for the Premier Protein.
Peaches & Cream -One of my favs
Strawberry Cream
oats Chocolate Hazelnut
oats Blueberry & Cream
I see today they have the cake batter flavor in stock. Thats also a good changeup. I think I need a case of vanilla after seeing this post since I have some A&W sugar free root beer packets along with some, Orange, Grape, Strawberry and Pineapple Crush https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QKFQ7QJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love the peaches and cream one and haven't been able to find it in a really long time. That was a lucky score!!

The cake batter is pretty good, as well as the strawberries & cream. Haven't seen the peaches & cream, but that sounds delicious.

When is it safe to add some banana pieces to a shake?

I remember the liquid phase being thin, transparent liquids for a week, then creamier liquids with nutritional supplements the 2nd.

Sams has Strawberries and cream available the last two days. Search for premier protein shakes - Sam's Club

Which brand has root beer float? Premier Protein? Must. Have. One. Soon.

You can blend bananas in now since you're at least at puree right? And bananas are considered soft food, so when you get to that you're totally good for chunks.

You don't have to use the flavor packets, a small amount of actual extracts will work as well. For example, adding a tiny bit of almond extract will get you pretty close to the cake batter flavor when added to vanilla. There are a million options to mix and match. I love orange extract in chocolate.

 

[Anne23]

I actually just bought mint to add to my premier cookies and cream shakes, so good! I also always add a shot of decaf espresso.

 

[dianeseattle]

I bought SnoCone syrup in many flavors. I blended it with wheat germ and teaspoons of other flavorings if they work.

But additives are for people 3-weeks post-op. Follow your doc & dietician to the letter.

 

[eladams2015]

Oh, another couple of options that I almost forgot - cinnamon added to chocolate OR a little bit of chili pepper - and you have Mexican hot chocolate flavor (cinnamon will make it taste like Abuelita's hot chocolate mix - the chili is for TRUE heat lovers)
