Protein Supplement Suggestions

OK, I need to get with the program. What doesn't taste nasty???

I absolutely hate most of the protein shakes. Unjury is the least offensive that I have found but that one takes me awhile to get down. I have been pretty happy with South Beach Diet meal replacement bars which have like 20 grams and aren't too bad tasting. I am going to try to get some protein bullets this weekend and those have 42 grams in a 3 oz vial, I am hoping that I can just hold my nose and do it like a shot :) Good luck in your search :)

I really like the Unjury Chocolate....it tastes like chocolate milk to me. I am pretty picky and I have no problem drinking this. On their website they let you order a sample pack, so you may want to try that.

I also don't mind EAS Low Carb Chocolate Fudge drink. I get it at Walmart in a 4 pack, not as good but drinkable. The nice thing is it only has 110 calories and fills you up pretty good. That is all I ever have for breakfast.

I have tried the EAS and I didn't like it. I didn't like the price, either. LOL.

I have to say, I don't get the "protein drink" thing. I wanna eat my food not drink it. Protein drinks, on average have a couple hundred calories. Why drink 150 or 200 hundred calories when you can eat them? I don't get it.

On mornings when I don't have time for breakfast, I have a South Beach Diet protein bar. They're about 200 calories and have, I think, 18 grams of protein. And I get to chew it which keeps me fuller longer than a drink would.

My surgeon told me to drink sugar free instant breakfast after surgery and for a few days after fills, but didn't think the protein drinks were necessary, so I never did them.

I travel a LOT so I keep protein powders for when I'm on the go and just can't find something (aka airports).

I really like the Syntax Nectar ones. My favorite is the Roadside Lemonade. I like them because I got totally burned out on the whole vanilla and chocolate thing originally after surgery.

syntax does I believe now have van/choc, but I really like that lemonade. I want to try their peach one next. You do have to drink them really cold however.

I buy mine from drugstore.com

I like the EAS chocolate shakes pretty well. I agree that Syntrax Nectar-Roadside lemonade is really good! Not some gross thick shake. If you go to bariatriceating.com you can also order a sample pack to try out a variety before you buy a giant jar of something. Hope this helps!!

I like the New Whey Protein Bullets (order them online). They come in different flavors, and I would describe them as the consistency of jello (before it sets). I like the fruit punch flavor the best. I add it to fruit punch crystal lite, and I've had no problem. I didn't think I'd be able to do the protein powders b/c I was on miedifast for 6 months when I was in high school, and I grew to hate it so much that I couldn't get it down. Plus, 21 g of the bullet is less than 90 calories (I think).

Diet direct.com and get wonderslim..... They are the BEST... no after taste and they come in a ton of flavors.....I love to make the mocha one warm in the morning or at night... 100 calories and 15 grams of protein...

I have a TON of unused shake types in my cupboard... I swear I could open a test kitchen for them LOL!!!

I hate hate hate the protein powder taste.... wonderslim.. has none... The only flavor I am not a big fan of is vanilla...

Chocolate.. chocolate mint.. mocha.. strawberry.. Berry creme smoothie.... I like all of those

I like the protein bullets, I just put one in a bottle of water and off we go! I got them at GNC...

I ordered from samples from Unjury. So far I have tried the Chocolate and the Strawberry Sorbet. They are not too bad, but definitely not filling!
