We all have different tastes in proteins and sometimes we get fed up with the proteins we drink or use - and need some brighter ideas. I am almost 4 years out but still drink protein every day....

I love Unjury Chocolate protein - I use it to make protein balls which are so yummy!! If you need the recipe just let me know!  I also enjoy it as a shake.

I like EAS Chocolate shakes too

But my tastes have changed - at one time I could not stand chocolate drinks even though I love chocolate  - lately I prefer it to anything else.

Whey protein is the best protein for us  - but if you can't drink that, any protein is better than no protein at all.

I still drink 50-80 ounces of protein a day as I can't be sure how much my body is getting through food. You can be walking around and functioning yet be malnourished.... and when it catches up with you, the consequencies can be dire.

This is just a reminder in case some have forgotten why we need protein.

Now tell us what protein you are using. Anybody have a delicious banana one?

Great thread!

I use a lot of different ones.  I love Achiev Ones, mocha java.  I plan on trying Believe and Oh Yeah when I have $ to order some more.  I also drink the EAS AdvantEdge chocolate ones.  I find that I drink more if I have the RTD.  I never put me first so I have a hard time mixing the powders.  I use unflavored Unjury for cold recipes (like puddings) and the chocolate for protein balls.  I can't stand the strawberry one personally.  As for banana.,..I use the unflavored unjury and add fresh banana.  It tastes better to me.  I also use AnyWhey to cook with.  It is the only Whey Protein to hold 100% of its nutritional value and has zero taste.  I add this to casseroles and mashed potatos and noone knows!  Hope this helps!  I'm looking forward to others responses.

Great reply Tammy!  Where do you buy AnyWhey as I would like to use it to cook with it too if it has no taste?

Tammy, I have nearly 2 cases of the OH Yeah! you are welcome to have.  I do not like them at all.  I have chocolate and cookies and cream.  If you want to meet for lunch sometime I would be glad to give them to you.

Good am, I stick with what works for me. I don't care for powders. I like EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control RTD in Chocolate Fudge. I don't care for the other flavors.

I drink several different types.

I like AcheiveOne poured over ice with soy milk added in.

I like to make CLICK, Nectac Vanillia Bean, Soy Milk Mix poured over Ice.

And I have OH Yeah! on occasion.
