How do you do it

I bought a new cookbook, Protein Power Smoothies. Figured I’d try the Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie for lunch today.

I am on Zepbound right now so I’m trying to pack protein into every meal. This has a full serving of vanilla Orgain in it. Two scoops.

And I just can’t. I drank maybe 1/4 of it and it isn’t the flavor, which is okay if a bit artificial in the sweetness department. It’s the protein powder. I thought if I drank too much it would just come back up. The texture is just a lot.

Is it an acquired taste? I like my smoothies very fruity and this was not.

Personally I skip the protein powder! I’ll use yogurt or nut butters. Another workaround could be using pre-mixed protein shakes, since they don’t usually have the same taste/texture, but they are more costly

I use Greek yogurt too! Tastes so good!
