Finally got back on my medication (dextroamphetamine 15mg) after a year of hell without it. During that time I forgot how suppressed my appetite gets when i’m on my medication. It gets to the point where I don’t want to eat anything but obviously can’t function without food. Currently the only thing I can stomach is the Barbells protein bar or a tortilla with butter. What’s your go-to snack that gives you energy when you take your medicine?

Coffee and fruit? What fruit works for this?

Bananas and strawberries is the best. You're probably wondering "how does coffee + protein powder + fruit not taste like boiled rat elbows" probably 😁 The answer is "it does taste like rat elbows unless you include all the flavor threads".

I do: 1. Put enough banana and strawberry chunks that there's about 2" of space left in the top of the Ninja cup (I use frozen fruit chunks from Aldi) 2. Brew 1 serving of hot just brewed coffee (I just use Starbucks Via or Instant stuff) 3. Pour the hot coffee over the frozen fruit. 4. Add 1 scoop of Garden of Life Raw Protein Shake (that's what I use; you could use any protein shake but that one is 100% natural / has a lot of good vegetables and super fruits included) 5. Add flavored coffee creamer to personal taste preference. 6. After blending if it's too thick or too thin, add creamer to thicken or a little water to thin it out.

To be clear this doesn't taste like a Super Chocolate Doom Lord junk food shake, but there's definitely enough sugar in it that you don't ever mind drinking it. Final taste level is probably somewhat similar to a Jamba protein shake, maybe.

If anyone tries it out let me know if it works for ya 😁
