protein powder issue

Hi,

In a few months I will be having the gastric bypass, so I been trying out some protein powders and sadly to say I don’t like them as I think they taste nasty.  I tried the sample pack from Necter and the body fortress from Wal-Mart and I can’t get pass the test.

I was wondering if any one else had the same issue of taste and what other brands do you guys use, although my taste could change after the surgery.

I also wonder if the unflavored protein powder would work in Crystal Light drinks.

Thank you
Brian 

 i had the same issue! i'd gag at the taste of them! i talked to my nutrionist & she said try the unjury, the have a few flavors some you can use with milk others you can use with water. They have an unflavored i mixed in oatmeal.. an didnt even taste it! it was great, also she warned mixing it in drinks like crystal light because its gritty & may not mix well, so she did recomend me to do unflavored or vanilla (unjury) with 8oz of milk & 1/2 a banana blended so super fine and that can be my protien shake... I tried it and it was good, no funky after taste no gag. But I am still 3 weeks away from surgery so my taste buds might change too. Well good luck with everything!

Hello ladies;

I have been taking a protein drink for  over 2 weeks now and absolutely love it.  I guess chalkiness has been an issue for so many?  The flavor is called "Sweet Cream Mix" and I mix in different fruits and add soy or almond milk.   My favorite is adding frozen Mango chunks so I can skip the ice and it is like heaven (hence my pic)

I don't know if I'm allowed to mention brands on the message boards, but if you'd like information about what is in the protein mix, just message me.

Cheers!
Terri

I drink a pre made protein drink by Worldwide & it is very good. It can be very sweet so I have started to add a tablespoon of peanut butter & 2 ice icubes & put it in the blender....yum!

I notice that everyon else says brand names...so, please, what brand do you use? Thank you!

Good Morning Elise;

I am using Visalus Sciences.  It's a Tri-Sorb protein with non-GMO soy and whey protein.   There are no isoflavones, so men can use it as well.   Diabetic-friendly and gluten-free.  My favorite recipe is frozen mango with 1/2 banana, the protein powder and almond milk.  My 2nd favorite is banana and organic peanut butter, the powder, almond milk. 

Cheers,
Terri

 I use advocare.
www.advocare.com/11032524 they have meal replacement shakes that have 24 grams of protein and protein shakes as well

Since I originally had my surgery in 2008 I have tried many of the protein products on the market ...a few weeks ago I discovered Visalus...it passed the true test I love it and better still my two hefty teenage boys love it as well.  We are all on the program and doing great.

I had some real issues not getting enough nutrition...I think the absolute worst tasting was the muscle milk...ughhh.

 I had surgery several years ago and have tried many.  Best one by far is  ultimate pro fit by it works. I use vanilla cuz u can blend in whatever fruits u want to change flavor (pineapple, strawberry, peanut butter, banana....etc). I also put my supplement powder in there in morning so I'm getting all my multi vitamins and my morning protein at same time! I buy them here, she had surgery too n is very helpful.  https://wrapwithalicia.myitworks.com
