hello all! I am new here and I have my surgery soon. Does anyone have any suggestions for clear protein drinks? I am not a fan of broth and need a substitute for after surgery.
Thanks
 
I also have a hard time with broths, especially if their from a packet or a can. After surgery I remember doing a lot of sugar-free popsicles, and then I started adding sugar-free fruit flavored protein drinks. I can't find the exact ones that I liked but they are similar to this: Cranberry Grape Fruit Drink - 12g Protein & 60 Calories

I added way more water than was normal for the drinks to make them much more clear.

Good luck with the surgery, and check back in here with us!!
