Gluten Free Protein Shakes

Hi all

I am currently managing a gluten free diet and weight loss and am enjoying protein shakes in the mornings to kick start my metabolism. A while ago I had found a recipe to make low calorie chocolate cookies out of the protein shake mixture and they were delicious and a good low calorie treat. I am currently loving my strawberry flavored protein shake and am wondering if anyone has any recipes for low calorie desserts that can be made with the strawberry flavoring? Recipes for other flavors are also most welcome. A word of caution to those that are new to protein shakes you have to be careful to check ingredients as a lot are not gluten free.

Thanks all for your contributions. I am loving reading the wealth of knowledge in the forums and have only recently signed up.

Hi! I always prefer the vanilla shakes because I can add whatever flavors I want -- I have a cupboard full of extracts like, vanilla, orange, coconut, almond, etc. I drank a lot of these when I lost weight around five years ago.

I used to make a quick morning "muffin" out of powdered protein shakes. Mix the powder with 1 egg or 1/4 cup egg white, sweetener if desired and maybe some ground flax seed, dried cranberries, and/or nuts.

Put this in a coffee cup, no need to grease it, the egg keeps it from sticking. Nuke it for around a minute, maybe 1 and 1/2, depending on the oven.

It looks weird on the outside, but when you slice it, it looks like bread.

Another thing I always made was soft-serve "ice cream" by blending the shake mix with a cup of ice, around 1/2 cup water, and a few tablespoons low fat cream cheese. Add sweeteners if desired. You need a powerful blender for this, or use one of those trays that makes tiny ice cubes so the ice can be crushed more easily in the blender. Blend until super smooth.

You can put it in the freezer for a bit if it's too runny.

Hmmm... you're inspiring me. Maybe I'll make some of these again!

How much powder do you put in the muffins? Wondering if we could get my mom to eat one

Hmm. this was Medifast protein powder, so it came in a pre-measured packet. Now I use EAS low carb powder in single serving packets. One packet is 41 grams, which looks to be around 1/4 to 1/3 cup. The recipe is pretty flexible -- if it comes out too 'wet' I just flip it over and nuke it a bit more.

Thanks. I might see if we can slide one by her.

I have never heard of these protein packets but I'm intrigued - partly because of the low carb options. This mighr be a stupid question, but what other ingredients can you add to the shakes?

I have a Melaleuca nutrition shake (Crave Blocker) which I like and if I have one for breakfast, it really gets me through the morning.

It states that it is gluten-free. However it says on the list of ingredients that it contains (a small percentage of) barley fiber. How can they claim it is gluten-free when it has barley fiber in the ingredients? ( have heard that if it contains less than a certain amount of gluten, a company can claim it is gluten-free. Is this true?)

 

I am not celiac, but gluten intolerant (I have a gliaden count of 8).  I do not notice any symptoms when I drink it, (No intestinal gurgling, or pain.) I suspect that either the fiber contains no gluten, or that it is not enough to disturb me. Any comments?

Yes, the ingredients say barley fiber, this is not safe for someone with Celiac Disease.  It is also made on the same machinery as wheat products therefore there is a high chance of cc.  I can only assume that they must mean "wheat gluten free".  There is no statement of it being gluten free on the package that I can see from the picture but in the search option on the website it is under gluten free.  A product must measure 20 ppm or under to be considered gluten free.  I don't think I would trust this company.

Try "Komplete" by Kate Farms. It's a gluten, soy, and dairy free meal replacement shake. I just have one in the mornings instead of a full breakfast and it has enough protein to keep me full until the afternoon. 
Hope this helped! :)

Orgain shakes are pretty good. Or you can make your own with whey powder and different fruits.

Hi, I am new to the forum, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if GNC Total Lean shakes are gluten free? I called their 800 # & someone told me that they were in fact gluten free, but I wanted to check with other fellow celiacs to get your perspectives. Thank you

Hi, and Welcome to the Forum.

 

The label does not have wheat barley or rye listed.

Hi thank you Colleen, I just wanted to to be sure before I spent a lot of money on something that I will to throw away. It gets tiring dialing 800 #s & looking up websites every time I want to eat something ha ha

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
