Tell me again... what protien drinks are the best?

I just finished reading the thread about the protien drink diet and I think I want to do this and maybe get this last 19lbs off. (Oh, I know I won't loose 19lbs doing this), but I would like to jump start my system again. Tell me what protien drinks you drink. I would prefer ready made, or I'll have to order some unflavoured unjury powder. Thanks, Debbie (I do need to get a new pic into profile)

Hi Debbie, I'm probably not going to be much help to you, but this is what I use: 8 ounces Carb Countdown (either fat free or 2%) 12 gr. protein 1 scoop All The Whey Vanilla Protein Powder 21 gr. protein I order my protein powder from the All The Whey web site. Doing it this way fits my finances a little better. I usually shake it up in a sealed cup as trying to mix with a spoon leaves it lumpy. After it sets for about 10 minutes, I shake it one more time and its ready to drink. Its very smooth and after a year, I've finally gotten used to the taste and actually enjoy it. Wanda

Debbie, When I do a protein shake, I use the powder ones. I like Med RX Butter Pecan that I found at the grocery store (Vons/Pavilions/Safeway). Also like Matrix5 simply vanilla. I make my protein drinks with water not milk and use frozen strawberries or frozen mixed berries (unsweetened of course) to make it thick like a shake **** will do the same thing). I got the Matrix5 from store.bariatriceating.com (add http:// to the beginning .. no www needed). When I do the jump start thing I plan to do shakes PLUS protein bars. This worked great for me as a pre-op and as a post-op too. Not sure I could do liquids 3 meals a day. Mary

Hi Debbie, If you are talking about the diet that Joanne shared with us it's not written in stone. I added carbcontrol yogurt 2 - 3 times a day in addition to the shakes. I believe Wanda added cottage cheese in the evening. After day 2 my carb craving lifted, but it was difficult to get back to basics on the first 2 days!! Debbie, Isopure has a high protein drink in single serving bottles that you can get at GNC. Pretty pricey at $3.50 bottle. It comes in fruity flavors like punch, grape, and cherry (I think). Each bottle has about 50 grams of protein. If you don't like the texture or taste of the shakes made with the powder I would give them a try. Good luck. And please let us know how you do.
