What's The Best Protein Drink??

The dietician told me to be finding a protein drink I like. What can you all recommend and where do you buy it at? I like chocolate and would like a plain one (or vanilla) to mix with other things for my drinks. I'm just trying to get everything lined out before I get my surgery scheduled. Many thanks and blessings!

Hi, Today I went walmart and bought the whey protein drink(chocolate) and it taste pretty good you can mix it in water,juice or milk.The price was not bad $11.97. Teona

I mix unjury with my yogurt to give it a protein boost. I like it in my coffee (decaf) as well, but you can't have unjury too hot or the protein clumps - yucky! I highly recommend Smartforme. www.smartforme.com. They don't have quite as much protein (15 g for most of their products) and are a little more pricey, but I've found, especially at this beginning stage, they are very easy to drink, yummy. I like the orange drink, the berry drink, the cappucino, and the chicken broth. The puddings are ok, but a little bit powdery. Hope that helps! Margaret p.s. I just got an email from smartforme this a.m. They're having a special on their sample pack for OH members, $9.99.

Well it's really a taste think and your tastes will change after surgery. So far I have tried profect mango something I got a box of four samples from their website. It is like 3 oz with 25 g of protein in it and tastes really good. If you are interested go to my profile at the very bottom is a link to use to get a 15% discount. I wanted to have that on hand in case I couldn't stomach the reg protein drinks. Since it is only 3 oz it was perfect for the night I cam home from the hospital. They mail them pretty quick as well. I have also tried Nectar - Crystal sky. Very good. Hope this helps Anna

I had surgery on 1/9/07. In the hospital they gave me the carnation instant breakfast and boost. Both of those I tolerated very while. I tried Ensure and Boost prior to surgery and found those to be too sweet. I also got the Nectar from GNC with the lemon tea flavor. I also got the EAS 100% Whey chocolate and the GNC American Whey vanilla. Both of these I having been using after surgery. The vanilla I haven't been able to drink after the first 4 days because my taste buds changed and the vanilla tastes metalically. The Nectar, American Whey, and the EAS all have 20-23 grams of protein. I also tried the premixed EAS Myoplex lite chocolate which has 25 grams of protein and it tastes really good too. I hope this helps. Amanda Stone-Secrest

My favorite are the Nectar brand that I purchase from bariatriceating.com They are great and mix really well. I LOVE the roadside lemonade. I drink it all the time. The nice thing about that website is you can also order sample packets.

I like the vitamin world whey protein, it's cheap on top of that! They should let you try it before buying..but tell them to make it thick when you try! Also scifit has some good ones, I get them on ebay..I like the sweet temptations ones
