Not from Minnesota BUT... Pretty Damn close!

Glad you're with us! go to vitalady.com And they offer samples, although I don't buy from them because the shipping is too high. I like Optimum whey gold standard and, of course, Unjury chicken soup. I order from vitaminshoppe.com, cuz no matter how much you order the shipping is ~ $3.99. Champion whey protein is good, too.

I was using Vitamin World's whey protein for awhile, but it's too sweet and doesn't mix well. [I hate clumps] The above mixes well.

Blessings!

Great! I will go there and look for where they will send out the free samples. Hopefully they will send to canada otherwise I have an address I can sometimes use in grand portage mn

 Thank you!

Welcome to the mn forum...i am also canadian...origionally for Vancouver Island BC. I  have been living in the twin cities area for 6 years.You will find the best support ever from the folks here!!!!!!  I thank god daily for the warm supportive comments and help through the weekly support coffee group that i attend in Burnsville.

Thanks for the invite!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I visit Minnesota a few times a year for football games etc, maybe sometime post op I can attend one of your local groups. We have a support group here in town but its once a month and not many attend... and being the only guy makes things difficult at times.

 

Anyways thanks again

Hey...you love the VIking's -YOUR in!!! Good luck with your surgery.  

Well... Not sure I should give info to a Vikings fan... HA HA HA I'm a bears fan!! But I love the Wheybolic protein powder from GNC it has 60 grams of protein and its good. I'm currently doing the Whey bolic protein powder with fruit and its amazing...wishing you all the best!! 

Hi and welcome-
I've spent a couple of vacations in Thunder Bay and the surrounding area...

As far as protein goes I am pretty picky since it all smells like spoiled milk to me but I have found that AnyWhey from Amazon.com is the least offensive and easiest to mix into stuff, they even give ideas as to how to use it in baked goods and other stuff besides shakes.
Kelly has tons of good ideas!
It would be great for you to visit our groups down her, I have not been able to attend a lot of them but when I have there are always quite a few men!
Keep us updated and welcome!

I am pre surgery and have found I actually really like the EAS advantedge carb control  and the Premier protein, these are premixed ready to go. I also have tried the Eas powder which isn't bad either.

I actually went to GNC and a couple local nutrition stores and bought a few single serving packets of various brands.  To test them out. a couple were the - no way in hell could I drink this. others were the if I have to and some were quite good.

Celebrate is another site that will send samples, just email them - they sent vitamins and proteins supplements  at no cost.

Best of luck with your surgery, and I say anyone else nuts enough to live in a cold weather climate - is welcome to join us..
