Protein Shake/Drink Info Please

[kittyforet 50]

Hi everyone!

I'd like to hear opinions on Protein shakes/drinks....everyone has their favorites so I'm hoping to find out what tastes good, what you've tried, what NOT to try, etc. I love milkshakes and like chocolate milk, but I want to find things I can buy that will get me through my pre-op and post-op.....

Also, if you recommend something, please list where you purchased it in case I'd like to try it too!

I'm trying to get a varied diet of protein and other "liquid" food sources so I can have it handy!!!

Thanks!

I found a butter pecan Glucerna shake at Walmart that tastes better than any of the others, you can't find it at all Walmarts but its worth the ride to go to another town if they carry it, I would call first though.

Someone also told me that Unjury Protein Powder mixed with silk almond milk was good.

my favorite is the nectar brand Protein powders. you can get them at Vitamin world and any vitamin type shop. They have lots of unique but good flavors... like cherry explosion, cappacinno, iced tea, pink grapefruit, calypso breeze, fruit punch, chocolate truffle, and strawberry mousse.you just mix them with Water or milk. i recommend skim plus milk it is fat free like skim milk but has the flavor of 2 % milk and more Calcium then whole milk

Thanks Asherscrashers. I acutally purchased a sample pack of nectar brand powder, but I didn't get to choose which flavors....but the names sure sound good!!! Can't wait to try them! Do they fill you up?

So far I've ordered a sample pack of nectar brand powder, unjury powder, and the Ideal chocolate Milk Diet.... I also asked my mom (a nurse) to ask the dieticians at her hospital which they recommend, and see if they had any samples for me to try.

Hoping I like them all!!!!!!

Thanks rosiej. I've ordered some of the Unjury powder sample pack but never tried silk......might have to buy some of that since I just found a coupon for it!!!

I have been stocking up on sample packs and starter kits of various powders so that I can taste them all now and then know what to get BEFORE my liquid diet starts. On Vitalady.com you can order single serving packs of lots of different shakes. I am still waiting for my box to come from them. I tried the Jay Robb brand Egg White Protein strawberry shake today for lunch and it was pretty good. I like that it doesn't have this super long list of chemical ingredients in it and the only sweetener in it is stevia. There's no artificial coloring in it though so it wasn't pink.

I also have a starter pack from unjury but haven't tried it yet. I tried "Celebrate" but found it ridiculously sweet and not in a good way. I hear that "BSN" is good but I am waiting for mine to come in the mail still so I can't comment.

Good luck!

I have found that the unjury brand mixes smoothest. My favorite thing pre and post op has been pudding. Mix 1 1/2 scoops Unjury (I use unflavored) with 2 cups skim milk. When it is mixed well add 1 small box sugar free Jello pudding and whisk together for 2 minutes. Yum! and easy to swallow post op.

Thanks amyjotnj.

I have a sample of the unjury unflavored....I will try your pudding suggestion. I also purchased some store-brand "Silk" milk today since it was on sale, so I will try that with my samples of Unjury chocolate and vanilla.

Hello there. My favorite is the chocolate Body Fortress at Wal-Mart. It has 26 g of Protein in every scoop. I believe there are about 28 servings in the big container (if you use 2 scoops a day) There are very little carbs in it as well. I think it was around $20 for the container.

I have a large tub of vanilla, you can vary the flavor by adding SF Jello (2-3 tsp of powder) or SF pudding powder. Also check out this same site under "Food and Nutrition" there is a posting of over 200 different ways of sprucing up your Protein Shakes. I also love the site "the world according to eggface", she also has alot of shake recipes and ICE CREAM recipes, the ice cream is allowed on the liquid phase of the diet too!!!! It is a real savior for me. Best of luck on your journey!!

the nectar does fill me up! you want lots of different flavors because you WILL get bored with it... i have like 6 flavors i switch between

Hello,

I just love the Atkins Protein shakes. The flavor is amazing to me. They have 15 grams of Protein and about 2 carbs and low calorie. The chocolate and strawberry are pretty good.
