Anyone heard of these? I know your body can only absorb so much protein at one time...

Whey Protein Bullets

Also, I ran across these protein shake recipes...as we all know..we need to protein shake recipes!

• Use flavorings such as vanilla, almond and coconut extracts to improve flavor.
• Coffee added to chocolate-flavored protein powder makes a mocha-flavored shake.
• Bananas, strawberries and peanut butter add the most flavoring to shakes.
• Unflavored cocoa powder can be added for a deeper chocolate flavor without adding fat.
• Freeze milk in ice cube trays to make milk cubes. Blend these with your shake to make it icy cold and to add protein without diluting your shake.
• If you are lactose intolerant, you can use Lactaid milk or soy milk to add protein to your shake.
• Yogurt can be added to shakes to increase creaminess and protein.

Hey smiles I was wondering...have you ever heard of someone who has had wls have a hard time with the whey protien mixture? Everytime I use the whey mixture I get violently ill. I have to use a mixture that isnt whey formulated. Thanks Michele

Hi Burly,

Yes I have heard of people being intolerant to whey protein. I am glad that you found some sort of protein that is OK for you. Are you using soy protein?

Yes I am using a soy protien made from Shaklee, it seems to work better for me. It is funny when I first came home from wls I had the hardest time drinking any kind of protien source. I gaggged so bad on them that I never drank them. Not good! But now I like them. I never thought until I started the 5dpt that it was the whey powder that made me soooo sick to my stomach. DAH!!! Michele

Thanks for posting the recipes for shakes. I love playing with my shakes. I sometimes use a pump or two of a SF Davinci syrup. SF Hazelnut & SF chai concentrate are a great way for me to add a bit of variety. Also thawed mashed up frozen blueberries or strawberries are a nice addition too, that I like using on occasion.

awesome...I'm trying the banana/peanut butter one for breakfast..I'll let you all know whether its good or not

Hey Smiles,

I use the whey bullets all the time. I'm not crazy about the taste but they are only 3.1 oz and its a quick way to get in protein when I'm in a hurry. I just finished one now as I'm out the door on my way to workout at Curves then on to work. On days that I work I take them with me when I don't want to stop for lunch.

Hi Smiles,

Thanks for this information. I always add coffee to my protein shakes and last week I started adding peanut butter & banana and it is delicious!!! I think you'll like it. I just got strawberries to try too.

I like the tip about the milk ice cubes and the cocoa powder, I alway use chocolate flavored protein powder too.

I also just ordered some SF Davinci syrups to change things up. I'll let you know if any of them are good!!!

Have a good day!

I have used the Whey Protein Bullets! I love them. Well, I only like the fruit punch flavor. I prefer to keeping one in my purse when I go out then bring a protein bar!

huh interesting...I might have to try the bullets


UPDATE on the Banana/Peanut butter shake...I made mine a little different..I added vanilla why protein, 1 TBS of low fat Peanut Butter and half a banana to 8 oz water..YUMMMMMMMMOOOO

This is so so cool!
Thanks for sharing these!

O Boy!
