Does anyone out there no about different protein bullet like stuff? I found the bariatriceating.com website that sells the protein bullet but just wanted to get some opinions before I spent the money. Did you guys like or hate or what?

I bought the fruit punch flavored ones from that same website.  They are better than the powders to me, of course nothing like that is going to taste perfect.  I split it up throughout the day.

I like them.  They help me get my protein in.  I get them at Drug Emporium in Little Rock and you might want to try them before you order a whole bunch.   They are very sweet but since they aren't that big I just chug them down.   The 25g tastes better than the 40g.  They are like really sweet and thick kool-aid.

I use grape and fruit punch from fitnessfirstusa.com I think they have the most protein in them (42 grams per vial). I mix it with crystal light in the same flavor and drink half in the morning & half at night. I'd NEVER get my protein in without them and my NUT approves.   (If I had to drink them straight, I would HATE them.  I can tolerate the protein slams from GNC (even drinking them straight).  But the 42 gram ones - I HAVE to drink them with crystal light.)

Protein slams from GNC? What is that? Is it similar to the protein bullet? BTW andiepsmom, Brug Emporium is a great idea.

My local GNC carries protein slams which are 2.9 ounce vials of protein fluid (peach and fruit punch flavors) with 27 grams of protein in each vial. They are $2.99 each, but they are typically on sale for buy 2 get 1 free. I have never had a "protein bullet", but I am assuming that it is a small vial of liquid protein.   fitnessfirstusa.com sells 3.1 ounce vials of protein fluid (grape, orange and fruit punch flavors) with 42 grams of protein in each vial.  (They also sell some vials with 25 grams of protein in them in various other flavors, but I've never ordered those.)

I use the fruit punch flavored protein bullets from bariatriceating.com.  I keep them in the fridge and just drink them straight, but only half at one time...42g of protein is more than we can absorb at one time.  They come 12 to a case, I only use half of one and only on days that I need the extra protein, so one case lasts me about 2-3 months.  I think they are worth the money, they're an easy way to get your protein in.  What I like about them most is they don't leave an aftertaste like so many other protein drinks do.  Once you swallow it, the taste is gone...and I don't think the taste is too bad.  Not my first choice of beverage, but very tolerable. Good luck to ya!

I  have used them since the day after I got home from the hospital. I have froze them and ate them like a slushee, kept them in the fridge and drank them cold and also deluted them with water and  also mixed them with crystal light. I find the easiest for me is just to keep them at room temp and chug- a- lug about 1/2 a vile at once. I prefer the grape but i buy the fruit punch also. Protien is very important and  I feel it is easier for me to drink the bullets because I still don't do great with meat. I  also order mine from bariatricseating.com. There is no way I could possibly get in all my protein witout the bullets. Hope this helps and good luck! Huggs to all, Rhonda T

Ok, so I went to GNC and got the protein slam to try since you can buy 1 of those at a time. The first time I bought it I was chugging and split some on my face. I had hives on my face within 30 mintues. Then I start to read the ingredients on the vial and its not been FDA approved! So, not only did that stuff taste so awful I wanted to cry but my face hurt/itched where I split it. Does anyone know if the other brand protein bullet from bariatriceating.com is any better?
