Question:
Are there protein mixes for juice rather than milk?

I don't tolerate milk products well at all. I'm not lactose intolerant, just sensitive to the products. I understand things may change after surgery, but I want to be prepared. I would like to find something that can be mixed with Crystal Lite for instance, or any other low sugar juices. Thanks    — Elizabeth P. (posted on March 7, 2002)

I only mix with water or sometimes diet soda. Never milk.

I'm water + ice. Rarely, I will use a sugar free "juice", such as Crystal Light. I never add calories/sugars to my protein powders.

Hello. I use Chisel-Plex and mix one small scoop of powder into 6 oz (those little metal cans at the store) of orange juice. I also use carb solutions chocolate with a bit of ice and 8 oz of water. :) Nothing tastes wonderful, but those two are tolerable to me. I am ok with milk products like cheese and yogurt, but regular milk doesn't do it for me since I've had surgery. Best of luck!

I use GNC vanilla flavored whey protein and mix in orange juice with a hand blender. It tasts like a dreamcicle. Yum, yum . . . and 23 grams of protein. Funny, although it is a milk product, something about the processing makes it not bother me like drinking milk does. Good luck to you.

I don't like the thickness of milk and cannot drink it. My protein of choice is Extreme Pure Pro grape mixed with water. Tastes like grape kool-aid. You could probably mix it with sugar free grape kool-aid and make it more grapey tasting. I might try that.

Hi! Extreme Pure Pro is great. You can get it in premixed 20 oz bottles or in 2.33# jars that you mix with water. 2.33#ers come in grape and tropical punch and both are really good. A friend uses it also and she uses the premixed and puts half of the tropical punch in half raspberry Ice crystal lite for a treat. GNC can order it for you or you can go on the web and find it there. Bodyden has the liquids in other flavors also. Good luck to you.

GNC Challenge Liquid Protein and Proteinex both mix with water or crystal lite.

I'm lactose intolerant. I used Spirutein, which can be mixed with juice or with water. It comes in several flavors and tastes very good. You can find it at health food stores.
