Sorry to hear about the shakes. I love them. I use Lactaid milk because regular milk was bothering me. People also use soy or almond milk. In my shakes I put decaf instant coffee, peppermint extract and lots of ice cubes and it comes out very thick and filling. I only drink chocolate flavored powder. Good luck!

Shakes were hard for me, i tried multiple ones before I could tolerate them. I do not like sweet milk so I struggled. The premixed smelled like Emsure or Boost and the smell alone would gag me. I drink a brand called Prue Protein, I like the vanilla and the chocolate. I mix mine with water and I only use 4- 6 ozs. I figured lower volume I could get it down. Life above I add to my shakes, the chocolate I add SF coffee syrups, PB2 peanut butter, Cocoa Via for added chocolate flavor, instant coffee, ice etc. I try to make them like a frappochino from starbucks. The vanilla I add fruit, peanut butter, a packet of the flavoring that you add to water bottles. Like I said I had to be creative to get them down. Now I like them and drink at least 2 a day. What are you drinking now? Jillian Michaels powder is not bad either but less protein and more calories per scopes.

Those shakes r horrible but if u can't get down on the pre diet talk to your nutricianist, I waited too long before I told her I was starving and she gave me another option but u have to be strict with that option too

I was

Allowed one egg, one slice of toast for breakfast, and 3 oz piece of chicks or beef for lunch and supper along with all my greens or the option to find a better shake as long as I ok with her about protein and calories

Keep trying different brands, I like 'Boost' and 'Slimfast' high protein. Infortuantely the better tasting ones tend to cost more. Try adding half a banana + the shake + a drop of vanilla + a few ice cubes and pulverize it in a blender (I use a wand style blender). Also make sure the shakes are cold! Warm shakes are gross tasting; or at least they taste that way to me. I am not a meat lover, so it is hard for me to eat more than one (much less two) servings of cooked animal muscle every day. Soy protien shakes and Silk (replaced all milk products with Silk) are a staple in my kitchen.

Thank you all for the great solutions! I have been drinking the Atkins protein shakes and love them! The French Vanilla is my favorite. They are a total life saver!
