Protein Shakes

What are y'all liking for protein shakes or supplements?  Any you are completely sick of and want to get rid of?  Any tips or hints?

Hi Allison,

Personally, I swear by the EAS Chocolate Whey protein powder.  They taste the most like a chocolate shake (to me) (thick and foamy, especially if well-shaken)...they are all pricey, but an occasional trip to Sam's Club makes it worthwhile, because you can get a large bag there of 100+ servings for a very reasonable price...(less than half the cost per serving of smaller packages.)

Didn't like the vanilla myself.  I stick with the chocolate...

Thanks, David.  I like EAS brands as well so thanks for the suggestion! 

You're welcome Allison!!!

Allison,

I have some BSN desert bannana cream and a body fortress cookies and cream and I think also vanilla....most of them are all full since I only drank them preop. I can't tolerate them post op  and get all my protein everyday mostly without shakes. If you would like any or all of them I live right in waterville so its not too far away and you are welcome to them. It stinks buying a bunch and spending the money and then not liking them! Let me know if you are interested.

Definitely interested.  Do you want any money for them? 

Nope...just the space back in my cupboards! :)

Just pay it forward somehow to someone else in some way if you can some day.

I will Private message you my phone #

Hi Allison,

I use GNC 100% whey chocolate flavored.  I'm with David on disliking the vanilla flavors!  Don't spend a lot of money stocking up before your surgery.  I had a few different types of protein powders before my surgery that I liked, but after surgery I couldn't stand the taste of them and had to try a whoooooole bunch out before I finally found one I liked!  I also had trouble tolerating whey protein in the first few weeks after surgery (bathroom issues), but it was fine after 2 weeks and I use a whey protein every day now.

Best wishes to you!

I use a blend of choc. whey protein and French vanilla slim fast blended with lots of ice and some milk to get the consistency you want. I sip on this while working out at the gym it keeps my energy up and fills me up as well.
I also use frozen strawberries and choc. whey protein blended with milk tastes very good as well. keep mixing things up and you won't get so bored.
I use protein powders twice a day and eat a regular meal in the evening. For lunch I usually mix vanilla with yogurt and fruit and kashi cereal for some crunch.
