In case we haven't met, I'm Steve and I had WLS in April 2009. I met Melinda through a mutual friend, and ever since she has inspired me to eat the "right" foods as I continue my weight loss journey. I've shed 120 lbs so far this past year, and hope to share with you some of the great WLS friendly products that I've encountered along the way. Eating healthier doesn't mean depriving yourself of something that you crave. And, contrary to popular belief, not all low carb/low sugar products taste bad!
A new favorite "on the go" product I use are the Oh Yeah! ready to drink protein shakes. If you haven't tried an Oh Yeah! shake, you don't know what your missing. They are creamy, sweet (but not too sweet) and are packed with protein and vitamins. It comes on various flavors including Bananas & Cream, Chocolate, Vanilla, Cookies & Cream, and Strawberries & Cream.
Although pricey (around $3.00 each from Netrition), these are great meal replacements when you are late for work and don't have time to mix a shake, or need a something satisfying while in the car, traveling, or on vacation. I brought these with me to New Orleans over the holidays, and had one shake each morning to "start the day". What a treat!
Here's a tip to make the shakes taste even better:
Mix (1) packet of Moo Magic Sugar Free Chocolate Malt Milk Powder to your shake. You can transform your banana shake into Chocolate Banana, Vanilla into Chocolate Malt, Strawberry into Chocolate Covered Strawberry. It turns an already great tasting shake into something spectacular!
Try one and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
