Hello! Today I’m reviewing the new Skinny Gut protein shake powder, but first let’s talk running and eating…
I did a slow 10 miler to start the day. I just wanted to go kinda long today. Mid-run stop and walk for a few text messages and voice mails. It was nice to have a walking break in the middle.
And when I got back I had something I’ve been craving = turkey sausage. I am very random in my cravings. 92% of the time it’s something sweet, but every now and then when I’m craving salty food I cannot stop until I have it (I think that’s because I eat sweet stuff so often my body knows it’ll only be 12 minutes until it gets sugar again).
Yesterday I went to the store specifically for seltzer and turkey sausage. This epic breakfast sandwich was the result:
Instead of butter or mayo I used my new greek yogurt dip and it was perfection.
Skinny Gut Ultimate Shake
A few weeks ago a rep from the Skinny Gut Diet sent me their new Renew Life Skinny Gut Ultimate Shakes to try. The container comes with some recipes, but I decided to create my own since I have so many apples to eat!
Mid-morning I made a smoothie with: Almond milk, Skinny Gut Shake mix, 1 chopped apple, 1 packet stevia and ice.
For some reason when I eat apples by themselves I am hungrier after?! Luckily, putting it in the shake mix kept me full a lot longer. That’s probably because the mix has both protein and fiber.
The shake mix is vegan, gluten-free, non GMO and has vitamins and anti-oxidants.* It also has no added sugar – which is why I added a packet of stevia. It wasn’t sweet enough for me, but I’m used to super sweet protein smoothies. They come in Renew Life Skinny Gut Vanilla Shake or Renew Life Skinny Gut Chocolate Shake. I have only tried the vanilla.
Overall: I liked it but would probably mix it with sweeter fruit next time like pineapple or banana.
And now Vegas and I are going to relax and check Instagram… (I wrote this post before he got sick. I’ll update the 2 of you that care if he dies on his health status as soon as the vet calls with test results.)
Question: Do you prefer chocolate or vanilla smoothies?
Most of the time I go chocolate, but I like to mix vanilla with fruit.
Have you tried the #SkinnyGutShake? Let me know what you think!

Since Skinny Gut is a plant based product, how long does it take for your body to get used to the large amount of fiber in it? Bloating and gas..
Thanks,

I just bought vanilla skinny gut. Made a shake with only water. It was horrible and I could not get over the aftertaste. I will try to mix with fruit and add sweetener.
Do u have any recommendations for protein powder that doesn’t cause bloating?
Lose weight juicing? Yes! You most certainly can and will lose weight by juicing. The weight you lose will depend on how long you juice and what you juice. Check out the juicing for health!
Other than my mom and I, you are the only other person that has the same reaction with eating apples when hungry! It’s so weird!
I prefer chocolate protein usually and if I buy vanilla I add cocoa powder. The stem on that mondo strawberry looks like icing that has been piped on…or maybe I’m just craving cake
Finally I found you guys! If I eat an apple I’m always STARVING after 20-30 minutes ! This makes me mad because usually everyone says that they are a good snack…I’m so glad I’m not alone in this crazy thing!
I thought I was the only one with the apple thing. Glad to hear it’s not just me!
Chocolate cherry, strawberry, or raspberry smoothies are the best! Hope Vegas has all of his lives still! 🙂
Vanilla. Any other good recommendations?
Chocolate smoothies ALL the way!!
I get hungry 30min after I finish an apple…which is why I hardly have them unless it’s in a fruit salad.
I’m all about chocolate but I love vanilla protein powders for smoothies because they’re more versatile!
Yes apples make me hungry. Hmmmm I knew I couldn’t be the only one!
I am one of the two who cares about Vegas’ health concerns! I hope his furry self is a-ok!!
Chocolate chocolate – always, always, chocolate. Apples always make me hungrier, too! I don’t get it (??)
I’m hungrier, too, after eating apples!! What is the deal with apples??
Thank goodness I’m not alone in that weird feeling.
definitely chocolate! and peanut butter too! YUM! Now I wanna go make one! 🙂
I have been saying for years that apples make me hungrier! Everyone always thinks I’m crazy, but I swear its true. So glad to finally hear someone else who agrees with me
Totally agree! Glad I found someone else too 🙂
yes!!! i am reading this post so much later but wholeheartedly agree!
i love Vegas! I love kitties but my husband is allergic so I had to give my cat to a friend. I still love getting pics of him. And chocolate shakes all the way. Totally random thought but have you tried Sriracha chips? I saw them today at the store.
Hope Vegas is ok. Love seeing him in your posts!
I like chocolate, but only if it’s real chocolate, not fake-tasting chocolate.
I care! I care! (Am I #1 or #2?) He’s such a pretty precious baby!!!
Depends on my mood. I love mixing a tablespoon of cocoa powder with a frozen banana and 1/2 cup cashew milk. Delish!!
OMG if vegas goes, ull have one less reader!! haha jk 🙂 ur breakfast sandwich looks bomb dot com and i prefer vanilla protein shake mix
Vanilla. You can add stuff to vanilla like fruit and such. Chocolate… not so much
Im usually a chocolate person, but recently I got tired of my chocolate smoothie and instead of having any vanilla on hand, I just switched things up completely. I need to get some because I feel like the taste is milder and more versatile than chocolate.
Ill have to check this out. I do plant based proteins bc whey doesn’t like me (the feeling is mutual), so this may be a good one to try!
vanilla all the way!
