Help with protein drinks

Good morning everyone
I am 10 days out!! YAY

Anyways...
I would like some tips on how to make my protein drinks thicker and/or more enjoyable

Right now I am taking my vitalady protein sample packs with 4 ounces of room temp water. Blah

Thanks all!

Amy,

If you can tolerate it, try mixing with cold water and a couple of ice cubes.  Or, I often mix mine with heavy cream, half and half or lactaid milk. If yo mix them in a blender or bullet with ice they get a bit thicker (but some get foamy too, it depends on the powder).

If you like iced coffee, this is a great recipe:  http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/4280141/Step-by-step-directions-on-how-to-make-the-best-protein.

Hope this helps, and you go girl!

How much half and half or heavy cream would you put into 4 ounces?
I only drink coffee at work. At home, is it okay to use the coffee recipie but skip the coffee and just use water?

Thanks bunches!

I replace all the water with cream or half and half.  I've never tried the coffee recipe with water, so not sure how it would be.  I drink regular coffee in the morning and use decaf in my protein coffee.

I make all mine with coffee and heavy cream. I drink 2 of Lorie's shakes a day and love them.

You're still early in your recovery, so I wouldn't worry too much about the protein and concentrate on the fluids. I don't think I even attempted any protein drin****il I was about a month out.

Right now at 10 days out, I'm doing well getting 1 shake in a day. I'm going to try the heavy cream first I think. Thank you

 I bought so many different ones an the all made me gag an wonder how can I make this better. You can't, you just have to buy a good one. The one that I found is Champion Nutrition Whey Protein in Chocolate. It is so good you just add water an it taste like a real chocolate shack. It almost makes you think you are cheating or some thing. You can get it on Amazon.com An it 64 grams of protein in two scoops with 8-10 oz water. Hope I could help : )

Sounds great! I'm going to try some....Thanks

That's the protein I use as well.  I hope the vanilla and banana scream are as good, as I just ordered some.

I can only drink them with ICY water.  I freeze a water bottle until it is almost solid and use that icy water in a blender/shaker cup.
