Protein Shakes
I'm a Nectar *****!!! I LOVE them! They taste like fruit drinks. Mix easily with water and I can mix them with the crystal lite packets for more variety. Peach, Ice tea and Cherry are my favorites. They sell them at the office for the same price that Susan Maria's site sells them for only you don't have to pay for shipping. If they don't have a flavor you like, tell them what you want and they will order for you.
I never got into the choc & vanilla flavors. Too much trouble for me because they have to be mixed with milk. Not easy at work.
I use a sports bottle to drink my protein. I've found they taste much better if I can't smell the protein in them when I drink. And yes you CAN smell the protein in ALL of the drinks/mixes (at least I can).
Hello there and good luck on your new journey to a better and healthier you.
As for the protein shakes, well I did alot of taste testing prior to my surgery. There were definitely things I liked alot better than others. Of course after surgery that all changed, as the sweetness of some I didn't care for like the others. As for brands, I use some from GNC, as well as Nectar. It really boils down to taste, whatever your preference for at that moment is what works best. Good luck.
christiana, hi, i use body fortress it's $12.00 and you get 30 servings and i like the chocolate. you can get it from Meijer's or walmarts. i put it in a milk form called hood milk beverage it's at meijers in the milk dept. only 3 grams of sugar and i get the one thats only 45 calories. i add a couple packets of sweet-n-low i love it. it's also whey protein. no one ever told me to add the sweetner but it does make a difference. also it's 23 grams of protein. good luck, barbara
The classes at PMRI were very informative to me and I made friends there! The Protein shake that I use all the time is Unjury Chocolate Shake mix, you make it with 8 oz. of 1% milk .If you can blend them to dilute the shake mix it tastes even better! I bought the large one, do not buy the individuals, they are not good! You will not find them any cheaper, sorry! I did not like the Chicken Broth at all! The hot chocolates mixes that they have there are the bomb! Enjoy and start excercising and watching what you eat. You can do it!
