Cookies and Cream Protein Shake

Bariatric liquid diet or evening sweet craving buster

More often than not I have found post-op patients grow very tired of sweet protein shakes, especially in the early phases of the diet.

If that is the case, you might find the not too sweet vanilla shake more your style!

When would this shake be a good fit? I would say for pre-op patients who don’t have the aversion to sweets or for post-op patients further in the journey who have a sweet tooth they are trying to keep in check!
