Protein shakes while on GLP's?

[new-me-who-dis]

Anyone else using protein drinks since starting their GLP-1 med? I'm trying to up my protein since I am not eating as much and looking for recommendations that won't leave me feeling bloated or with other digestive woes.

I like the protein shakes from that big box store. They are a pretty good deal.

I usually grab whatever's on sale when I go to that wholesale place. I will drink two or three a day.

The chocolate protein drinks from the brand that rhymes with 'dare life' are delicious. It's like drinking chocolate milk!

I recommend the ones from 'Dare Life' that say Core Power! They have different amounts of protein in them, already made, no lactose, and taste great! It tastes like a real milkshake with no chalky taste. It's smooth, and I put a shot of espresso in mine to make a protein coffee. I recommend it!

I used to drink the ones SlimSis mentioned but now I drink the 'Dare Life' ones. They come in 26g, 30g and 42g and you can even get banana flavor. No yucky after taste.

The cafe latter flavor of the ones SlimSis mentioned is great.

I've been using the 42 gram chocolate Core Power 'Dare Life' ones for about a year, replacing one or two meals a day with them, and things are going well.

I liked the chocolate and vanilla 'Dare Life' ones, but they cost too much. I just tried the ones from that members-only warehouse and their vanilla is great. No weird taste, and I'll keep buying them.

I prefer those yogurts that are high in protein. About 20 grams of protein and no added sugar for 130 calories.

'Dare Life' 30g protein shakes. I’ve been drinking one every morning for the last 3 years. I’ve tried so many and this one does not have the after taste and actually tastes good.

I have tried so many different premade and powders during the last few years. I found the premade 'Dare Life' to be the best, followed by the ones SlimSis mentioned.

We like a powder that has a lot of protein but not many calories and no artificial sweeteners. We mix with ice, milk, banana flavor, and cookies n cream flavor. Half a serving is perfect for breakfast.

There's a bit of a adjustment period for your stomach, but it resolves itself and the fiber helps with digestion.

I used to drink a certain brand of yogurt that was a 'complete' meal.

The chocolate protein shakes from that store with low prices. I pretty much live on these LOL.

Get whatever brand but make sure it says isolate to make sure it's clean and digests well without bloating. You can also use casein protein powder at night, it's great instead of late night snacks.

Okay, weird thing I've noticed... anyone else find that their love of healthy food has kinda gone away since starting their meds? I used to love salads, but now I want processed stuff. Like, what?

OMG Lucky_Pizza, I thought it was only me! I used to love cooking healthy dinners, but now I just want something quick and easy, like ramen or a slice of cake. It's so strange!

Is anyone else's coffee suddenly like, super strong now? I used to drink a ton in the morning, but now even one cup makes me jittery!

Caffeine_Queen, yes! I think it's because we're eating less. Coffee on an empty stomach hits way different. Maybe try half-caf?
