Question:
Koolaid type protein drink?

I lost 28 pounds in 22 days but have been at a standstill for the last eight or ten days. I know I'm not getting much protein, but I have tried many of the drinks at GNC and can't stomach the taste. Sure they say they are tasteless but they aren't! I remember once having a creatin drink in a koolaid base that was'nt to bad. Are there protein drinks that also have a koolaid base? Or something that honestly does'nt have a taste? I need protein! I am losing absolutely nothing for so long now that I'm wondering if all the pain from the surgery and the inconvenice of having to eat this way is worth it. I've thought about protein bars but they are expensive! Plus they usually seem to have alot of carbohydrates which I prefer to stay away from. I'm on disability so I don't have alot of extra cash to throw away "trying" all the various protein drinks. I need to know what is really truly "tastless". I can't stomach any juices anymore. Even deluted they taste awful. In fact most foods taste bad too. I'm not eating all the meals I'm supposed to as everything tastes bad and I would just as soon not eat. Even if I did eat I know I would'nt get enough protein so it is obvious I'm not getting it now. I am very discouraged at this point. So between the weight loss stopping and almost always being constipated this is very discouraging. Yes I am getting plenty of water. It is the only thing I enjoy and I'm always drinking. At least I have one virtue. (smile) I would appreciate some advice on protein. Thank you very much for any info. PS. Would it hurt to go back to the clear liquid diet to get the weight loss started again?    — Danmark (posted on June 3, 2001)

First 28 pounds in 22 days is Tremendous! Wonderful! Thrilling! I am so proud of you! Second, YOU MUST GET THE PROTEIN IN! Nag, Nag, Nag! I too was not fond of the premixed or "malty" tasting protein drinks, plus I'm a contractor so many times I need to be at a job site first thing and not many ARCO or Mobil stations have blenders for me to use (hehe). I found a "predigested" protein powder called Procell. It mixes hot or cold, liquid of solid and truly has no taste. I put it in my no sugar added fruit juice, in cottage cheese, in salad dressing, in instant oatmeal and it really disolves and has not flavor. In the juice, it makes the juice look cloudy but it doesn't taste different. You can get it through 800-638-2870. They are really nice folks. They've even sent me some sample packets to give out to my Angelites to try. Good Stuff and crammed with protein.

There are two types of these drinks that I like: Extreme Pure Pro (by American Body Builders) tastes more like Crystal Light than Kool-aid, but it's similar. Comes in some great flavors (Pina Colada, Berry, Kiwi, Punch, etc.) The latest one I've found which I like even better is Isopure. This has very little flavor and no aftertaste. I tried the Blue Raspberry (like a blue icee flavor), and loved it. - Kate -

Extreme Pure Pro (American Body Builders) also comes in Grape and Tropical Punch flavors in powder form, which can be diluted as much (or as little) as you want. Contact www.vitalady.com for reasonably priced samples.

ISOPURE!!! This saved my life. It is like Kool-aid, but without the funny aftertaste I got with extreme pure protein. A bottle seems expensive, but it is less than I used to spend at Burger King for lunch!lol
