Protein drinks
Hey everyone.
I bought some new protein drinks at GNC at the first of the month. I have finally tasted them all and here's what I think....
Pure Protein: I tried the vanilla, banana and strawberry (those were the only flavors they had in stock). Loved the vanilla. Won't discuss the other two.
50 gram slam: Tried the vanilla and banana. Loved the vanilla, the banana is okay.
So, those are my product reviews for today. Wish they'd had the chocolate to try. Maybe next month.
Oh, and I routinely buy the Isopure RTD Zero Carb in Apple Melon and Blue Raspberry. Those are yummy to me.
Just wanting more variety. I'm getting tired of the same thing every day.

I've tried the vanilla 50 Gram Slam rtd and loved it! I haven't bought any in awhile.
Right now I'm stuck on EAS Coffe House Shake (it's only 15g but it's a nice supplement to my regular diet and not too expensive), it comes in a couple of flavors..I buy the carmel latte. To me, if I close my eyes and imagine real hard I can pretend I'm drinking a Dairy Queen caramel Moolatte (without the extra syrup and whipped cream of course)...not really, but at least that is what I tell my brain.
I found them accidently in one of our local grocery stores (Acme). They moved the Carnation Instant Breakfast and I was looking for that. I found them in the "drugstore" aisles in the section that has the various Boost shakes and Slimfasts etc. They had a very small section of EAS protein products and the coffee house shakes were among them. I bought a 4 pack to try them and they were great. So now, I look whenever I am in that store and buy a 4 pack when I can. I'm actually thinking of trying it in my magic bullet mixed with some frozen sugar free cool whip to see if I can get it closer to the Moolatte taste.
OK just have to say bless your heart. LOL the apple melon is the 1st one I tried and it makes me sick to even think about it now.. just goes to show that what one of us likes is no guarantee that the others will. Took me a while to figure out the fruit ones are jsut not for me. Hubby likes their strawberries and cream though. I am still stuck on the Pro-Complex Chocolate. Just like having chocolate milk to me. No after taste and no protein taste at all! It is awesome. Ok so I know I keep saying that but it is just great. Let me know if you want me to send you a sample. I would be more than happy to do so!
I am going to look into the banana ones for hubby though as he loves the fruity ones.

Those sound yummy. I love chocolate too, so I'd probably like those. Most of the fruity stuff I can't stand at all....but I liked the apple melon and blue raspberry. Go figure. Guess they tasted more like kool-aid to me. Not sure....
I know what you mean about feeling sick just thinking of some of them. My stomach is contracting just thinking about some of the ones I tried that were horrible to me. This is NOT a good thing to have happen because I'm eating a protein bar right now too!! Guess I'll have to wait a few before I fini****! LOL
Thanks for offering a sample. Felicia beat you to the punch though and is sending one to me. I forgot where you buy them.....I'm hoping it's not from on-line....I like going to the stores. Makes me happy.
