Protein

Anyone have any suggestions for good protein shakes? everything I have tried so far is horrible.

Hello, I use GNC 100% Whey Chocolate carmel with no fat milk! Its awsome Also Isopure in the bottle is ok but we have found to mix it with our s/f jello. Instead of the water use the same color as the jello Isopure. Hope this helps p.s. dont do strawberry or banana cream Gnc Mix

I have not found a good protein shake, either. But, I did find that the unflavored protein (I use the Unjury) is tasteless mixed into my other drinks and soups. That is how I have been able to get my protein in each day. *Kam*

I like the Nectar Cappuccino made with skim milk (sometimes I add a squirt of sf choc. syrup) I also like the Champion Whey Bannana Scream flavor ( also with a squirt of sf choc. syrup , also blended with a tespoon of natural peanut butter) The green Isopure in the bottle is pretty good too. it tastes like a green jolley rancher.

The only one I can tolerate at all is "SportPharm Chocolate Whey". I mix it with water instead of milk and it's not too thick, is more the consistency and taste of a light chocolate milk, sorta like the "YooHoo" chocolate drink. I mix about 1/2 t. of Splenda in it to sweeten it up and it's delicious. I even mix my meds in it (with an additional 1/8 t. Splenda) and they go down quick and easy.

I have been doing great with ISOPURE. I buy it at GNC and it's expensive $3.50 for a 20oz bottle;BUT it has 40gm of protein. It's kinda like gatorade and I like the icy grape. Hope this helps. Also, the Stalone pudding is tolerable and it has 20gm protien in 5oz I hope this is helpful Tanya Lap RNY 11/17/05

Poor Baby! I use Healthy Whey by Nature's Life and Any Whey by Optimum Nutrition. I ALSO experiment with flavoring them. I have one of those sick mixers that blend from the bottom. No way near as much of a hassle as a blender and I get to mix it in the container I am going to drink it out of. I began and end my day with a protein shake. I always add a packet of Splenda to the powder. I also use yogurt in my shakes, allspice, decaf instant coffee, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and anything else whose smell excites my taste buds and chipped ice. But not all at the same time. I have also mixed the powder in with my oatmeal. I haven't tried mixing the powder with sugar free juice. No matter the flavor, I hate V8 Splash sugar free. Remember, your timer is your friend. You just have to learn to get along with it. It now takes me 20 minutes to consume an 8oz protein shake, or a bowl of tomato soup, a half cup of peas and okra. No matter what it is, my timer is by my side. The more of the thirty minutes I use to consume whatever it is, the easier it goes down and the better I feel. I have a note pad to remind me what phase I am in. When I am done eating. I reset the time for 30 minutes. When it beeps I know that I have thirty minutes to down 8oz of water, or other none nutritional liquid. I live my waking life in thirty minute increments. My stomach loves me for it. You'll get a handle on the protein I just know you will.

I bought a whole bunch of samples of protein at vitalady.com. She sells the samples for between $1.49 & $1.99 each. It's SO worth it to do that rather than buy a huge jug of something you may not like. I like the Pure Whey Protein Stack Chocolate and the Sci Fit Whey Chocolate Mint. I made them with ho****er, and they were the BEST "hot chocolates" I've had in a long time. Give her a try and test some out! Good luck. ~ Kim 309/284/130

Hi! Try Prostat 64 which can be ordered on line from Bariatric Advantage. It has 15 gr. protein in just 1 oz. the taste isn't that great...but it is only 1 oz. I really like Vanilla Cinnamon that VitaLady carries, she also has chocolate Mint, if you like cappuccino try the mocha cappuccino. Don't overblend them, as they get too much air. Good luck!
