Protein drink???

Can anyone recommend a protein drink that tastes halfway decent? Thanks, Robin

Hi Robin Welcome to the boards. A good protein drink is called Champion from www.vitalady.com She also sells them as samples before you purchase big jugs. Another protein drink that is good that I use is called worldwide protein drink. You can get it online or at Trader Joe's if you have one near you. Let me know how you make out. Have you had surgery yet? Where are you having it done and who is your doctor? Marie

I like PVL whey gourmet flavors the best, White chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, caramel dip, milk chocolate, PB chocolate, blueberry, orange cremescicle....This is where I order it online: (2# tub $21.95) http://www.a1nutritionproducts.com/buy/pvl/whey_gourmet Most 120 cal 23g protein a scoop 2.6 g carbs 2 g fat.... 15 Flavors to choose from and more to come!

She is in Rochester call for an apt if nearby! 585-749-8546 www.a1nutrition.com has 2# 21.99 Here are all the sites *I* know of for ordering samples of protein. www.vitalady.com (a 10 yr+ postop who runs this business w/ her hubby who is also 10+ yrs out!) www.wlssupplies.com www.bethsproteinboutique.com (she is a wlser in NY, where you can get my fav PVL whey gourmet) www.bariatriceating.com *run by a wlser Susan Maria, she has written a book before & after WLS... www.enjoyhealth.com I will say tastes CHANGE for many after WLS so if you find some now you like you MAY not like them postop....BUT I agree samples are the way to go! (*saves you money from buying a tub of something you can't/don't like to drink!) ''I'' don't think GNC has much that is tasty though....So ordering online seems to be best (for me)! You can buy a magic bullet blender to make w/ ice, sugar free syrups, Davinci now has 51 Sugar Free flavors! http://www.davincigourmet.com can order from or www.netrition.com (local in Albany NY S&H is $4.95 no matter how little/much you order! there 5# tubs of Champion PW stack is $25.99, tjmaxx has them sometimes also! Artisan roasters and torani's are other makers! http://www.artisancoffeeroasters.com/syrups/index.html http://www.torani.com/create/fpsugarfree.shtml http://www24.netrition.com/champion_whey_stack_page.html also if you find you like the chocolate, banana or strawberry (*I do not know of anyone who likes their vanilla!) http://www24.netrition.com/syntrax_nectar_page.html netrition has nectars for $26.95 extracts, spices, 1 tsp powdered sf/ff pudding powder or 1 tsp sf jello powder etc... www.walgreens.com has MB's for $59 free S&H or www.buythebullet.com has BOGO free, I think Target and other stores have them too! ***#1*** I like PVL whey gourmet flavors the best, Runners up: Champion Pure Whey stack chocolate, banana scream or strawberry are good Labrada PV 60 vanilla is good IDS cinnamon/vanilla, mocha, Belgian chocolate The Nectars (fruit based) they also have a cappuccino my hubby loves! Strawberry-kiwi, fuzzy navel, Caribbean cooler, apple, lemonade etc.... ANYWHEY is an unflavored protein. You can cook with it too! (***70 calories a scoop/0g fat/1g carb (no sugar carbs)/17 G protein) 60 scoops/container http://www.optimumnutrition.com/anywhey/default.html they have recipes! I think 34g protein for 2 scoops/140 calories is DARN GOOD! Made by optimum nutrition. GNC carries it I beleive. or online many places but I use this site frequently. http://www.netrition.com/optimum_any_whey_page.html $22.95/2.7lb container _______________________________________________________________ The key is find what you like, add water/ice use the magic bullet for a smoothie consistency, spruce w/ extracts SF syrup, a little sf jello or pudding powder and voila! I now use 2-3 frozen strawberries or 1/4c pumpkin in shakes also (watch calorie and sugar in beginning stages!) Skies the limit! I have over 24 sf syrups, 5 flavors of protein at any time! It doesn't get boring! Happy Sampling!!!

WOW Jamie, everything you ever wanted to know...... Thanks for sharing so much info on protein drinks, etc.... I learned my lesson about ordering from what someone else thought was the best. Wasted $47 on a ProScore jug I'm not crazy about. So, samples is the way for me to go for now. Going to order some samples! Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishment! Linda

Hi Robin, I use Isopure (dutch chocolate) It tastes great so it is easy to get down. I just started the protein drinks so this is my only flavor so far. My nutritionist recommended Isopure and GNC told me they can barely keep it on the shelves. Good Luck, Tina

Hi Robin, i like the Advant-edge shakes myself the vanilla and chocolate r the best flavors. strawberry kinda tastes weird. i cant wait till i get on my protein shakes i'm tired of not eating already althought i do not feel hungry. good luck and take care Kathy L.
