Question:
Has anyone tried the fruit protien drinks from Bariatrix?

Are they good? I've read about them, and they don't seem terribly expensive and I think I'd rather have a fruity kool-aid type drink than a shake. All this protein stuff gets overwhelming. I'm trying to sort it out before my wls in 3 weeks. Thanks for any input! Inga Open RNY 4/22    — [Deactivated Member] (posted on April 1, 2003)

Designer Whey has a line of protien drinks called Whey Blasts that have 40 gms of protien and something like 2-3 grams of carbs. The taste is ok and better better after the first taste. They come in: Orange PassionFit, Kiwi StrongBerry, Grape Shape, ABSberry Ice, TropiCurl Breeze, IntensTea. <p> http://www.nextproteins.com/ click on products. <p>Take Care, Be Well, BE Happy!

I know what you mean. I'm schedueld for my open rny on 4/23, and it is overwhelming trying to find supplements.I haven't tired that particular brand, but if you go to ensure's website, they have a new product out called enlive. it's apple or peach flavord, and depending on the website you order from, a brick of 24 costs between 32.00 to 36.00. I went to drugstore.com and got them individualy to try. they've got decent carbs, about 10 g protien and 300 calories. not too bad taste wise either.

I'm with John--the whey blasts are great. They are a bit SWEET but can be diluted!! And, with an amazing 43 grans of protein...you can't go wrong!!

There's a new line of powders out, Nectar, that are actually whey powder, mix up with water nicely, but are not milky in presentation. Green Apple Ecstasy; Very Cherry Berry; Caribbeann Cooler. So, you get the benefit of whey, the price of powders in a juicy type drink. Unlike the Ensure family, most whey drinks deliver about30g protein with under 6g sugar (the Nectars are 0g carb), and under 200 calories when made with water.

Inga, I ditto the poster(s) below (April S. & John)~the Designer Whey Protein Blasts are the bomb!!! I like the flavors of ALL of them, but they will have to be diluted bcause they are VERY SWEET. Cheers!
