Protein Shakes... YUK!!!!
My go-tos were Syntrax Nectars because they are fruity, and not as thick. I like them diluted with a bunch of ice. My favorite flavors are the lemonade, cappuccino latte, and probably pink grapefruit.
I tried a bunch of their samples and bought big tubs of the ones I like. Two years out, I still drink them. I have gotten tired of one flavor, but I think of protein as medicine. I put a scoop in a cup, mix with just a couple ounces of water, and take it down like cough syrup. Done and done.
There is no magic protein shake...it is an acquired taste. I like to take the ready-to-drink Premiers and heat them up like a hot chocolate. Sometimes I will add SF Torani syrup and a splash of milk. When I was going through the "I hate protein powder" stage I found the coffee flavored ones got me through...Click or Fit Frappe or adding Via Instant coffee to chocolate or vanilla helped. A Tbsp of SF instant pudding powder can help the flavor and consistency too. I do like the Inspire brand on the Bariatric eating website, they have great flavors.
I find the SF syrups at Marshalls/Homegoods/TjMaxx and also Shoprite by me has the small bottles. and of course online Netrition is a good place to look.

muscle milk is AWESOME! They come in ready to drink 11oz containers which are kinda pricey. About $10 for 4, but 32g of protein in each. Tastes like chocolate milk. Didn't like the strawberry or vanilla, but that's just my taste.
MM also comes in a powder which will save about $50 per month for the same amount of servings vs the ready to drink and tastes the same.
I would add 3 ice cubes to the powder mix with water and it was like a chocolate milkshake.
a small scoop of instant coffee can make it even more chocolaty.
hope this helps.
