Protein Drink Suggestions

I am in need of some suggestions for some decent protein drinks. I am almost two weeks post surgery. I tried Protein Delite Vanilla very berry and a melon drink and could barely keep it down, kept getting the gag reflex. I don't mind adding milk or drinking a ready made protein either. Any suggestions would be great as I need to get between 65-70 grams per day. Thanks Mary

My favorite is the fuzzy navel nectar protein mixed in with some orange crystal light. I love that. My second favorites are a lot more expensive but certainly worth it and they are the ready to drink isopure drinks. When I am very desperate I will drink the protein that comes in what looks like a test tube. Those are very tasty but very expensive too. I also eat the stallone pudding (or the pudding from bariatriceating.com and I can not think of the name of that one right now. Both of those puddings are very tasty and they each have 20 grams of protein in them. Good luck in your search. You need to find something that you like because protein is sooo very important for you right now. Nancy

Myoplex Lite has 25 grams of protein and I agree the Nectar line is also good. I had some issues with the Nectar, so I had to switch to something else. Try a sampling because one may work where another may not. Good luck

Isopure continues to be my favorite. When I was a new postop I would mix the Zerocarb Isopure in the premixed bottles with Crytal Lite about 1/2 and 1/2. Usually used the Alpine Punch added to lemondade. It went down really well. The bottles of Isopure have 40grams of protein each and I would get through one a day. They are pricey - $3.50 a bottle but GNC has them on sale alot and you gen get them cheaper that way. I also really like the Isopure Low Carb Dutch Chocolate powder. I mix it with Hoods Calorie Control Chocolate milk and a few ice cubes and blend it up. It tastes just like a milkshake. Each scoop of the Isopure has 25grams of protein and the cup of milk adds 8 more so, that's a wooping 33 grams for the shake. I usually have one for lunch every day. I have tried alot of other protein drinks but always come back to the Isopure. Haven't fouind anything that I like better.

Hi Ronna, Thank you. I went to GNC yesterday and got the Any Whey Protein. It has 17grams per scoop. I mixed it last night into tomato soup, not bad at all. This morning I mixed it with milk and the carnation breakfast, that got me 30 grams of protein for the morning. I tried the Nectar Roadside Lemonade and kept gagging, once I get that gag reflex, I am done, lol I think I need to mix with milk, I seem okay with protein mixed with milk. I've never been a Crystal Light fan, I always found it to be too sweet even if I added more water. I might give the Isopure a try with plain water, does it have that protein smell and taste? Regards, Mary

Here is my protein Whey protein for walmart one scoop vanilla container of yogurt (flavor of choice) I like strawberry and orange five to seven ice scoops ( the more the thicker) piece of fruit ( choice, and I haveleft this out, less calories) 1/2 cup of juice (choice of flavor, I do use crystal light in this as less calories) Blend in a blender. You may have to experiment a little tell you find a flavor you like. I like bannana and strawberry. And just plain orange yogurt without the fruit is good. I have also added peanut butter to it. instead of fruit. Good luck love marie
