 As a lot of you know I've had A LOT of problems with protein but I found one I like! It took four months but I am so happy! I have syntha-6 vanilla from vitamin shoppe. It doesn't taste like icky protein and if I make it with water and not milk I can handle it. No milk shakes for me. Next I am going to try it with almond or soy milk to add a little protein and creaminess. I feel like doing a victory dance. This has been weighing on me SO much. NSV!

 I have to go there to get some vitamins, so I'll give it a try since I'm one of those who do not like protein drinks as well.  Thanks.

I did find another one that taste like coffee drinks (no caffeine) and no protein taste either.  It's the Believe ready to drink  bottles from bariatriceating.com.  I made one with some ice and it's like drinking a frappucino.  20 g of protein for one bottle.

The Believe drinks must really be good. I was given one by a friend, and since I am avoiding coffee and caffeine since my surgery, it sat in the fridge for a few days. One day, it was missing. Then my teenage son says, "thanks for the frappucino, Mom!" He thought I had bought it for him and he drank it. He said it was good and he didn't notice anything weird about it.

Lisa, they come in glass bottles so the shipping is pricey.  However, I do order them occassionally because of the convenience and I really, really like them.  These are on sale right now due to the "best to sale by date", I ordered 2 cases and had them delivered to work last week since I was on vacation.  I can hardly wait to get to work tomorrow to have one, they ARE that good.

I like to put a couple in the freezer and let them freeze some, shake and it's like a slushy coffee drink.  This is the first time I've ordered this one but I'm sure it's just as good as the MOCHA and ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO.
