I'm one of those people *****ally hate protein drinks, so I've been trying to figure a way to make them more tolerable. I really like the more clear, fruity ones like bariwise and isopure. tonight I mixed crystal light rasberry ice with grape flavored isopure. it's really good! I can still tell it has protein but there is no smell and it is much tastier than anything else i've tried. only problem is the crystal light doesn't disolve real well in the isopure (ready to drink 20oz), so i left it in the fridge for a while to dissolve.

hope this helps anybody who hates protein drinks as much as me!

I'm glad you didn't give up. There is probably someone out there trying to figure this out too--thanks for posting what works for you.

One of my new favorites is Syntrax Nectar Caribean cooler with a mango peach crystal light. Very refreshing for summer.

I have a tough time liking the RTD protein shakes. I usually put protein powder in my coffee.

Like Price, I like some of the fruity Nectars. You do have to mix them well but they taste good. Have you tried getting any of the samples from Vitalady?

I too am glad you didn't give up - tastes really change a lot after surgery - but they do return to "normal" after awhile. Hang in there!

I'm so glad you didn't give up on the protein drinks. I know they are so important to my staying on the plan.

It is funny how we all like such different things. I love the Syntrax Nectars, especially the Lemon Tea, I mix it with a Lemon Tea Crystal Lite Stick, about 16-20 ozs of water - mix well and add ice.

Early on I couldn't do Isopure and have been afraid to try it again. I do love Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade w a 1/2 squirt of fruit Punch Mio. I do 3 scoops every morning and fill by shaker w ice and water. Had Starbucks skinny s/f caramel frap w 2 scoops of their protein this morning to save time. Big difference! I wonder if I took my powder would they add it instead of theirs?? Probably not. Oh well.

Good post -- glad you found the secret formula for YOU!!!

Meg,
I took my protein powder to a local coffee shop and they put it in there for me. But, it was a local company not like Starbucks.

I hated protein drinks early out but now I crave them.

I forced myself to drink the unflavored Protein with Crystal lite in it and you are right about the Crystal Lite not dissolving. Try the MIO flavorings. They are a liquid, convenient because they don't spill, and a container lasts forever.

I personally do not like protein in my coffee as a hot drink, but I mix instant coffee in my cold protein drink and add sugar free Davinci or Toriani flavoring. As long as you find something that works you you are in good shape....Did you try to dissolve the crystal light in a little bit of hot or warm water before adding it? that might help!

Like Roz said I crave protein drinks and would be lost without them.

Don't give up!
