Protein Drinks???

I stopped at The Vitamin Shoppe yesterday and bought some Strawberry Kiwi Nectar.  It tastes okay.. but I can taste the protein powder in it.  It tastes stale.   If I can doctor this stuff up, it will help me to get the 40 to 60 grams of protein Dr. K. wants me to get in daily.  Anyone ever tried adding Crystal Light to it??  I thought more flavor may mask that protein taste. 

Where is a Vitamin Shoppe? That Strawberry Kiwi Nectar sounds so good.                                                                                     Tiffany

The only one near us is in Matthews..  in the shopping center with Target and Panera Bread.  :)

Do you ever go to that Nutz place in Monroe?  I was wondering if it was a good vitamin shop.

You mean Health Nutz. Yes, I go there all of the time. That's where I get all of my vitamins and my protein slams. They are pretty cheap to. I've never asked about the nectar there.                                                        Tiffany

Protein drinks???... are the devil!  A lady in my group throws it in the sunrise flavor of crystal light and makes a slushie with some ice.

Hey Jenn, When I was on a liquid diet for 7 months (Medslim) .They always told me to mix their protein powder with crystal light. It sometimes seperated but, you just have to shake or stir it often.    It's depending what flavor you mix it with. I had trouble with lemonade flavor. I didn't have any trouble drinking it at all.  Give it a try. Maureen

I bought some strawberry Crystal Light to mix in with the strawberry kiwi Nectar.  I have been reluctant to try it.. but I need more protein today so I may mix one up.  Thanks Maureen.  I appreciate it!

Hey Jenn, I buy the unflavored Unjury powder on line and mix it with the ready to drink Crystal Light Red Raspberry or Orange Sunrise.  Each scoop of Unjury has 20 grams of protein in it and you really cannot taste anything but the Crystal Light.  Some days that is the only way I can get my protein in.  Sometimes some of the protein powder will settle to the bottom but I just screw the lid back on and give it a shake or two and it mixes right up.  Hope you are able to find something that you can tolerate! Hugs, Donna

Hey Donna... I actually have the unflavored Unjury.  I can still taste it in cold drinks.  I do much better with it mixed into hot stuff.   The Nectar and Crystal Light worked pretty well.  And.. it has 23 g's of protein.  Hopefully that will help me to get the minimum of 40 g's in per day.  :) I think if I can get some of the Lemonade Nectar that it would go better with Crystal Light than the Strawberry kind.  I am just so sick of chocolate protein shakes.   Thanks!
