Bariatric shakes made with BSN Lean Dessert Protein Powder ...
...ROCK!!
This is by far, the best tasting protein powder I've ever tasted. And believe me, I've tasted quite a few.
I LOVE this stuff!
I bet you'll feel the same way after trying it.
BSN Lean Dessert Protein Powder tastes like...
well...
dessert!
How could you not love flavors like:
- Cinnamon Roll
- Banana Nut
- Banana Cream
- Vanilla Cream
- Chocolate Fudge
- Chocolate Coconut
1 heaping scoop provides:
- 130 calories
- 20 grams protein (~1/3 of what you need in a day)
- 7 grams carbohydrate
- 3 grams total fat
- 2 grams saturated fat
- 3 grams sugar
- 1 gram fiber
- 52 mg cholesterol
- 100 mg sodium
- 320 mg calcium
Plus...
...it's low in lactose and is sweetened with sucralose (Splenda). (No artificial sweeteners aspartame or Acesulfame-K). This gets my dietitian stamp of approval.
While it's often marketed toward serious weight lifters (and cheapest to buy on body building type websites) it's actually perfect for life after weight loss surgery.
It mixes well...no bumps or clumps, even if you don't use a blender, and has a nice, thick, rich texture. Use a smaller amount of water (~4 oz) to make a thick "pudding."
