I told you guys about that Pure Protein Shot I bought a little while back. Well I finally busted it out today. I had a protein shake for breakfast but by the time I got home from running errands I was dying. I had a jello. Then I had a slushy I made with crystal light. Then I had strained clam chowder which was so delicious! Sadly once you take out all the chunky stuff there's very little soup left. So while that was so satisfying it didn't fill me and I still felt the pains. So I said I should have one of those protein shots. So I did. I have to say I didn't try to taste it because I knew it would be funky. I didn't hold my nose either. I just closed the passage way to my nose as i drank it.
I can tell you that it was super tangy (it makes cranberry juice taste like water) and a very thick clear liquid. But I got it all down. It was bearable. But it left a nasty aftertaste which went away after a few minutes. Soon I felt the sweet relief of having something in my tummy. WHEW!!
But its only been like 20 min and i already feel empty again. not AS empty as before though. I can tolerate it. I don't know why but protein drinks never last long on me. They're really great at taking the edge off for a little while but they wear off quickly for me. However, having this shot around in a pinch when you're starvacious is great. I would say def worth having it around in case of emergencies. I thought I would carry one around in my purse. But I can't imagine it would be good warm. lol. but then again, desperate times calls for desperate chugging.
On second thought, just realized i can still chug because i'm pre-op. So nevermind that you guys. I wouldn't want to sip this stuff. lol.

So sorry you have to deal with the pre-op, but soon you'll be BANDED! Yea!
ReplyDeleteI saw that stuff in the Target and I remembered you mentioning it so i thought I would ask you about it before buying them. It is only a small amount and like 26 grams of protein... I drink Niquil still when I get sick, and I don't sip it. I drink it down so maybe I could get it down in 2 sips. I knew it had to be nasty though... and I didn't know that I would struggle to get my protein in each day but after this last fill, I can hardly eat much at all... I am full after a couple spoons of tuna, or chicken salad, one one grilled chicken strip. It's a huge difference. We'll see. *Maria*-Blogger from "This One time at BAND Camp..."
