It seems that since I have been in treatment, all of my usual protein shake mixes have been triggering my symptoms (spaciness, walking into walls).
I already avoid any mixes with artificial sweeteners.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

I make my own. I don't like all the crap that is added to the protein shakes on the market. Many have nutrasweet and / or sucralose and that stuff is deadly.
1 scoop of Jarow unflavored protein (you can get this at iherb.com or vitacost.com)
1 cup of Blue Diamond UNSWEETENED plain or vanilla almond milk ( i use this because it is very low carb--you can use 1 cup of any milk you like)
1/4 tsp stevia herbal sweetener (+/- to taste)
1/4 tsp Lecithin granules ( you can get at vitaglo.com, iherb.com or health food store)
2-3 tbsp. organic cocoa powder
8 ice cubes
Sometimes i use less ice and add water to make it less thick.
you have to have a good, strong blender to crush the ice. I have had many diferent types and none worked too well until i bought a kitchen aide. Even the ones labeled for ice crusinhg didn't work well. The best blender I have found for this shake is the Magic Bullet.
I use flavorings (not extracts) from Frontier to add flavor. They have banana, coconut, stawberry, coffee, vanilla, etc ( you can get these at vitacost.com) The flavorings have NO alcohol as opposed to extracts that do contain alcohol.
optional = 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter
also you can add 1 tsp of freeze dried instant coffee or decaf for a mocha shake....of course w/o the peanut butter.
This makes a large shake.......enough for 2 servings. I usually eat this in the am and then nothing else until noon. It is very filling.
Hope this helps, robi

Lauralyme, thank you, I'll look up the Vega. And Robi, thanks so much for the fantastic recipe! I actually had the Jarrow unsweetened, but it was so plain I didn't know what to do with it.
I'll try it again.
