When I first started thinking about getting weight loss surgery, I started researching protein powder supplements. You don’t need to be the FTC or the FDA to know that a diet high in protein and low in carbs will make you lose weight. The people at Atkins know it, the weight loss surgery experts know it, the people at Dedicated Woman know it, and I know it.
I had tried several brands of protein. Some were delicious, and some were absolutely not. I’m sure you’ve heard about, or even tried bad protein. It’s like trying to drink nasty flavored chalk. Yuck! So I was perfectly happy to try the Woman’s Whey that Dedicated Woman sent me.

The nice owner of Dedicated Woman (Kelly DiLauro) sent me some Strawberry Bliss Woman’s Whey to try.
Now, strawberry would never be my first flavor choice. I like it ok, but am a chocoholic through and through. But because chocolate was on back order, they substituted strawberry. I have to say, when I opened the container, the strong strawberry aroma was very mouth watering! It smelled so good. So I shot Kelly an email and told her I would stick with strawberry.
The Strawberry Woman’s Whey does not taste as strongly as it smells. It has a very mild strawberry flavor with pieces of real strawberry. I personally like a more robust flavor, but it was still very good. No nasty “protein” aftertaste at all. Because I like the thick “milkshake” consistency in my protein shakes, I added a handful of frozen whole strawberries (from Costco) to my blender. It pumped up the strawberry flavor and thickened it nicely without using ice (which melts and waters down your shake).
I ended up using this recipe most often and it is quite delicious!
- 6 oz water
- 1 scoop Strawberry Woman’s Whey Protein Powder
- 6-8 whole frozen strawberries
- 2 Tbsp fat-free instant chocolate pudding
Blend until smooth.
This recipe made a delicious chocolate-strawberry concoction that was more like desert than a healthy meal replacement.
If you have been following my Fat Flinging Friday’s, you will know that I haven’t lost any weight recently. But I don’t think it has anything to do with the quality of this shake and has everything to do with the fact that I like cheesecake and beer (not together…gross!).
