I am in love with Big Train Fit Frappe Protein Drinks

I decided to give something new a try.  I've been using Unjury and am just tired of it.  I ordered the Mocha Big Train a few weeks back and it was great.  I then placed an order for the Vanilla Latte, Espresso and Chai Latte, which I got today.  I adore the Chai Latte and am super-stoked to find something that at least for awhile I won't get sick of :)

Big Train is different than Unjury.  You can view their stuff at www.bigtrain.com.  I hope you get to try it and, more importantly, love it as much as I do!!!

I'm curious about these. I've read a lot about them and most people seem to like them but ... I'm afraid they'll be too sweet. For example, Eggface is a blogger who loves them. She also loves Chike and Click as well and they are VERY sweet to me--hideously so. I also find that the Dymatize is super super sweet too.

Are you finding these really sweet? Have you tried any of the others above and if so do they have a similar taste/texture? 

That's the problem I am having. I bought Nectar Caribbean Sky (I think - it's blue) and I had to halve it today because all of a sudden it was way too sweet.  I'm interested in finding an unflavored protein powder with the least taste that I can add to soups.

What shakes have you each found to cause the least gas or is that a totally individual thing too?

I can't stomach the Nectar drinks either. I used to love them pre-op and drank them all the time. Post-op, can't get near them without feeling icky. 

Gas is very individual. I've never had one give me issues. You might be reacting to the whey or dairy in it. You'll need to experiment to figure out what works and doesn't.

I've been drinking the Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Whey for 5 years now and never had issues with it. I make it with a cup of coffee, lots of ice and heavy cream. Or jus****er, ice, heavy cream and powder. I do 50 grams at a time.

Thanks Tali. I'm sort of glad that the sugar monster has been cut off. :)  The Dr said he thought the antibiotics may be causing the problem so he prescribed flagyl.  I like the heavy cream idea for some whey chocolate/pb powder I'm already tired of. I'll look for your brand. It's not gritty?

I noticed the 310 down to 145 Congratulations! That is about what I am shooting for. I started at 321 then 318 at surgery 303 in doctors office today. So making progress, yay!

The protein I drink isn't gritty. If you find that some are, you can try mixing them up in a shaker bottle and then letting it sit for a bit and shake a little more. Sometimes that helps everything to fully dissolve.

I like to buy protein at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC. They usually have no issues letting you return protein if it doesn't work out for you. You can also buy sample packs at Vitalady.com. She sells them for a few dollars each which isn't cheap if you are tasting a lo of them but it's worth it sometimes. 

Congrats on your own journey! 

Tali I went to a local cafe to buy the spicy chai to try before I ordered. Everything is tasting ridiculously sweet to me too. It has a really good flavor but like you I am wondering if it will taste the same when I get it.  The ingredients show milk is in it, not sure if they added milk when they made it. My stomach started gurgling so I thought better than to keep on.  At any rate, if you like chai, it's a good flavor IMHO. I'm hoping to be able to start drinking them at some point since I am not a coffee drinker.
