I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PROTEIN STUFF

I STARTED TO REALLY WATCH WHAT I AM EATING. I WANT TO TAKE PROTIEN IN THE MORNING, BUT THE FIRST TIME I TRIED A PROTEIN SHAKE I ALMOST PUCKED. IT WAS JUST A SMALL PACKEGE OF SOMETHING FROM SCHNUCKS(GROCERY STORE) ANY IDEALS ON ONE THAT DOESN'T SUCK? THANKS FOR ANY HELP

The only shakes I really like are ProPlete Gold and Unjury - both of which I order online from Susan Maria's website. Everything else I've thought tasted horrible. I can choke down the Nectar brand as well, although I don't rave about them like some other people on this site. I haven't had any luck with ones I've purchased from Walmart, Walgreens or grocery stores. However, several people suggest a couple brands that GNC carries. I wish you all the luck! Katie

My surgeon recommended Boost High Protein -- they're good! I like the Chocolate.. Unfortunately, protein drinks are going to be thicker and a little grittier than you're used to.. sometimes if you put it in a blender with some ice and grind it up like a milkshake it's easier to get down.. Oh and avoid Atkin's Advantage.. they taste like butt. ...not that I've ever tasted butt.. I'm just sayin.. it's what I think butt would taste like.. not that I think about what butt tastes like.. but.. ummm.. uhhh.. *looks frantically for an exit* Stef

Stef, the board butt tasting expert. Terry

well they do SMELL like butt.. it only serves to reason that the heinous taste that follows would also be... BUTT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Stef

And now I have this horrible visual of the little workers at the protein plant dipping their butts into the mixture to add a special "flavor". Ewwwwwwwwwwwww! Terry

HELLO!!!!! VITAMIST PROTEIN...YOU JUST TRIED IT!!!!!

Hey Deliah! You can get samples from Susan Maria's website (bariatriceating.com) and there's also txwls.com that sells samples and little bottles of SF syrups you can add to jazz up protein drinks. I like the low carb chocolate isopure from GNC and the premade Extreme Smoothies (Chocolate and Vanilla are both good) and Achieve One Latte's from bariatriceating.com. The ones from WalMart and Walgreens and other stores of the like suck in my opinion LOL. All the ones I bought beforehand were awful after my surgery, too. The ones I haven't given away are still sitting in the pantry. Best of luck to you! It took me months before I could even tolerate the thought of protein supplementation! Hugz, Cathy

thanks everyone for replying : idea:I am going to try the websites and check out gnc!!

Deliah, I have GNC's chocolate whey. 20grams per serving. Walmart sells a chocolate protien (white jug blue labor advan(something) I use 6oz's coffee made as usual 1 scoop of protien powder 3 tablespoons of Cool WHip Lite and blend it... its like a mocha cappacuino and it rocks... This is one of my personal recipes so if you dont like it let me know... Debby
