Hello, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a protein drink. I have been drinking vpro chocolate flavor and it is not agreeing with my hiatal hernia and IBS. I have tried the vanilla flavor and it's awful.I am on a liquid diet until my surgery on the the 29th. I have to drink 2 protein shakes a day. Thanks, Deb

I like the Atkins shakes--specifically the strawberry and vanilla. One of the chocolate ones is good, but not the other. I can't recall which is the good one and which is the icky one...

I had a real hard time finding one I liked and didn't gag on. I found Amino Infusion (its a liquid). 1 tbsp = 5 grams of protein. I get the raspberry flavor and add 6 tbsp to 16 oz of raspberry Crystal Light. You can't even tell there is anything in there! Of course, if you can drink the stuff straight, more power to you. Its just very strong and sweet, so mixing it with the water or crystal light works better for me. I only have to mix this twice a day for my 60 grams!! You can get it online - I get mine at a local Low Carb store. GNC didn't carry it - mine didn't anyway. Good luck! Oh - the flavors my store carries: Green Apple, Grape and Raspberry. I've had the grape - tastes more medicine like to me than the raspberry.

Hello Deborah, I have been using Amplify also chocolate flavor. I mix it w/2 cups of skim milk, 6-10 ice cubes, and 2 scoops of mix = 56q of protein. I use my blender to mix it really well and drink 1/2 in the AM and the other 1/2 on the way to pick up my kids at school, I really like it. They make it in vanilla, strawberry and banana, but I have only tried the chocolate so far. I'm on my 2nd 2lb. can and it will last about 2 weeks. It is a little pricey at $45.00 for 2 lb. can from GNC but it gets my protein in and I can drink it with out gaggggging so I think its a good deal. Sherrie

I hate them all! Seriously...the only one I can drink on a regular basis is the SF Carnation Instant Breakfast w/ 1% milk. Love 'em! JM
