What type of Protein Shake?
 

Hello everyone! :wave:

I'm using a protein shake that has less than 3 g of carbs, and 18 g of protein, but it does have sugar in it. Is that okay to use?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Sorry that I didn't see this sooner!
No, 'no sugar added' is what is OK. Save this protein shake for after you get to your goal and find one that has none in it. :idea:
While 3 grams of sugar isn't a lot, we do need to follow the plan as written. Using products that have any added sugars is not part of the plan. :)

I make my own mocha shake in the mornings:

ice
nonfat milk
1/3 c. lowfat ricotta for thickening
1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa
a few splenda packets to taste
1 tbsp of instant coffee

count some of the calories (splenda/cocoa) to your daily sweet treats

You have to really blend it though so the ricotta isn't grainy. I use a magic bullit.

It's REALLY GOOD. Even my teenager likes it, and she doesn't like anything!

Try Syntrax Nectar, no carb, 26 gm protien. No funky aftertaste and you get a sample pack at netrition.
