Whey protein shakes.... Yuck!

Any suggestions on Whey protein drink tasting a little better? I have the chocolate flavor and it has a nasty aftertaste. I drink it because I know i need it but if anyone knows of anything with a better taste... PLEASE let me know! Thanks. M.Y.

hey m.y. a few people i have met on here said they got the flavorless protein and just added it to their crystal light or other drinks. this way they aren't stuck with just one flavor and it saves the risk of being stuck with something you may have liked before but ended up not liking after surgery. hope that helps a little stac

Thanks. I will get the unflavored kind and try that! M.Y.

Hey M.Y. Try the flavorless whey protein and mix it with hot chicken broth. Lisa Sizer suggested this and it's not bad. DD

Ok. I love chicken broth so I think I can handle that. M.Y.

This is the shake recipe I use. 1 c. skim milk 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla whey shake mix 1/4 c. any fruit (banana or berries, fresh or frozen) 1 **** Blend until smooth and ice is crushed (let it go for a while to achieve true shake consistency). Its not wonderful but much better than just the powder hand shaken with milk or water. Pre-WLS I could drink the whole thing and be satiated for 2-3 hours. Now I can only drink 1/4 to 1/2 of it. Good luck!

Maritz, haya doin? Try "Syntax Nectar". They have a variety of flavors. Check it out!....I'm gonna look into the flavorless protein too. Thanks everyone! http://www.wlssupplies.com

I guess I'm lucky, except for 1 or 2 I like or don't mind most of the protein drinks. Since I started full liquid Yesterday I guess that's a good thing

try adding some fruit and then make it so the shake is not so thick,,,,That might help,,

Hey M ... I don't mind the Ensure plus drinks ... but to boost my protein up even further I purchased some Beneprotein. One scoop is 6 grams of protein. I add it to everything, milk, ensure, the baby foods that I have learnt to enjoy ... soups and broth have given me heartburn so they are out. THis Beneprotein is pretty much tasteless, but the best part is that it doesn't clump up, it completely disolves. Though I have noticed that it makes my skim milk taste even creamier. I hope that this is not a Canadian thing, I hope that you can get it in the States as well... it is well worth it. Take care! Monique
