Chike
While I agree that Chike Iced Coffee is absolutely one, if not THE, best tasting protein shakes out there, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for early pre-ops. It has 20g protein, compared to 30 in Premier as an example, and 9g carbs, which is quite high.
I appreciate you turning me on to these - you've made my afternoon protein fix a treat :)

Please run these by your dietician. I know that the coffee drinks are not recommended here by Windsor - this one or Click because they have too many carbs per amount of protein.

You are absolutely right on this, Dawn. I advise the same and never recommend them for early-outs. Ever. At all. It's a nice "indulgence" for a way-out post-op, otherwise not so much. Agreed!

I'm glad you're going to check. As I've said in 2 posts in this thread, and Dawn has also commented, these are not the best choice for a new post-op. Yummy, yes. Best source of protein? Not so much.
You can add stuff to the Premier shakes (not that they really need anything) to change them up. :)

Yep, I checked it out - no caffeine, 23g protein. Never tasted it, hope it's yummy, let us know! :)
