Question:
Where can I buy protein drinks and/or powder that taste really good?

I am 8 weeks post op and know I'm not getting in enough protein. I need a protein supplement that taste really good where I won't mind drinking it. My nutritionist told me to drink Slim Fast, but I am lactose intolerent and have problems with it. I have noticed my hair starting to shed and my weight loss is to a minimal. I have since started back to work and need something that I can take to work and mix. If you could email me it would be better since I don't get to this website often and I do check my email a few times a week. You help would be greatly appreciated and I know you guys have if not all the answers can help me with this. [email protected]    — Beverly B. (posted on May 12, 2001)

Hi there. I am no expert by any means, but my personal preference is ProScore 100 (chocolate). You can get this from several sources to include http://www.vitalady.com and http://www.netrition.com. Proscore 100 is lactose free, but tastes like a dream...high in protein and LOW in carbs...the calorie content is reasonable. I'm sure you'll get lots of responses to your question...folks here have tried just about every protein drink and bar on the market! Good luck.

I haven't tried this yet myself; however, I plan to...I found it on this site and they say it tastes a lot like crystal light! Go to www.inshapeonline.com/html/xeda0005.shtml Supposedly there is fruit punch and grape. Good luck!

Hi, I have found a few that I like. I found carb solutions (its not quite as high in protien as some of the others.but its decent). It has 20 grams of protien, 0 carbs, 0 sugar..tastes ok.but I usually mix it w/some fruit and ice.I also like problend 55, chocolate flavor. Yummy. I dont use the 2 scoops it calls for though. I just do 1..that has about 28 grams of protien. There are other good ones out there. I just havent tried them yet. Ps. I get plenty of protien and my hair is still falling out.

Hi Beverly, I finally found a protein drink that is tolerable, its called Healthy and Fit Nutritional, choclate flavor, I mix a half of scoop and 8 oz of lactaid fat free milk and it tastes like a light choclate milk. Many find egg protein tastier than whey or soy protein, this is 100% egg protein, it had a black label with blue lettering. Sena
