Tried my 1st protein drink



Recommended Posts

Ok I tried my very first Protein drink!!! It wasn't that bad, but in no means did I consider it to be good. I immediately gargled with listerine following, the after taste was the worst part. It would be so great if protein came in a injection or pill form......LOL!!

Was it a premixed one? I found that those are pretty nasty. I buy Protein Powder and mix it with skim milk along with a pkg of Carnation Instant Breakfast. That way it not only tastes better it also has alot of Vitamins and another 5g of Protein.< /span>

Yes it was the Isopure RTD. On the packet info given the bariatric coordinator its says not to drink slim fast, boost, and carnation instant breakfast for Protein supplement. I can already tell that this is going to be a challenge for me!!!!!

I drink the Carnation for the taste and Vitamins. The extra Protein is a bonus.

Try Unjury or Muscle Milk Light - those are the best in my opinion!

I was told to try muscle milk light also or the ProX portein powder they sell at Wal Mart I was also told by the nutritionist the only realy for not doing slimfast or boost is they do not have enough protien in them so I asked what of I added a scoop or two of the Protein powder to them and drank it that way and she said she saw no reason why that would not be fine so Iam going to buy some of the new boost low sugar ones and add the portein powder to it and see how I like it Iam just not sure about doing it with slimfast because Iam not sure how much sugar is in slimfast I heard it was a lot.

I was told slimfast has too much sugar. I use Body Fortress from Walmart. It's ok. Slight aftertaste.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
