I am having the hardest time with these priotein shakes!!  I can get down a lot of liquid, and Jello, and all kinds of other things, but the taste of the protien shakes (I have tried so many) and just the feeling of it in my mouth makes me feel ill and I can barely bring myself to drink a whole one (which gets me only 32G of protien), and suggestions??  I have Nectar chocolate truffle, I like the taste just fine, but I really think it's the monotonous taste etc.  I am going to the Dr. tomorrow and I'm supposed to advance to the pureed foods stage, I hope I do.

 Did you try Isopure cold bottled drinks? It's not a shake, it's regular liquid. I liked the fruit punch one, even though it was weird and tasted like strawberry yogurt. Whatever. It's 40 grams, and 20 ounces of fluid. My only suggestion! Good luck!

I lived on these Isopure drinks.  I can't stand the powdered thick milky ones.

I have seen Isopure at GNC.  I know they carry the no carb one which is what you want.  Just make sure that it says no carb on the bottle

I want to say they were about 4 bucks a bottle.  But the last time I was there, a couple weeks ago there was a special to buy one and get one half off.  They also sell them by the case so its a little less than 4 each but I dont know that you can mix and match the flavors.  Personally I liked all of them so, cant really tell ya any flavor is bad

I had the same problem- for me - the only thing I could tolerate was Carnation Instant Breakfast mix - then I found Chike - banana flavored is my favorite - and I can do that too - don't know if it's because I'm farther out or what .......

Keep trying though because it's important !
