Protein Drinks
Can yall tell me what kind of protein drinks/powder you like? I have the list from the drs (which I can't find right now
) but I would like to know what actually tastes good before I go buy it. What kind of unflavored should I buy? and where did/do you buy it. I was at Rite Aid that has a GNC and they didn't have a great selection. Do I need to go to a GNC store? Thanks a bunch for the help :)

I have two types... neither do i like very well... (so i could use some ideas too...) they are whey vanilla (which isn't too bad but its a gritty sandy texture thats just doesn't go away sometimes, but seems good for baking in things...) and I also have soy chocolate (has a strange texture but does ok in puddings)....
The nectar products are pretty good. If you email them, they'll send you some samples to try. If you like chocolate, the Nectar Chocolate Truffle was my FAVORITE! Unjury chicken soup flavor was one of my favorites early out too.
I used the ready to drink EAS carb control drinks. I found them pretty good tasting. Early out, I used the protein bullets (the taste was awful on it's own, but palatable when mixed with crystal light or something like that). For unflavored, I've used the GNC 100% Whey powder.
I gotta be honest with you......none of them taste AWESOME, by any means, BUT.......you gotta get protein somehow, especially early out.
Good luck!

My nutritionist recommends Unjury. So far I have tried the chocolate and it was great, tasted the same as carnation instant breakfast but a lot more protein 20 grams. I have tried the nectar protein and thought it was gross . I recommend ordering a bunch of samples they may cost more but well worth not getting stuck with something you don't like.
I like the Unjury Chocolate and unflavored- order at their website. The delivery is QUICK!
EAS Vanilla is pretty good. Slim Fast high protein is OK, but not my fav.

Nashua Nutrition has PVL Whey Protein, and Nectar products... I love, love the Artic Cappachino pVL, they have expresso, too and have tried GNC Choc caramel-a little sweet but good...Have Nectar Lemonade to mix with water-the others I mix with FF milk.
