What to look for in Protein Shakes

I need suggestions on some good Protein Shakes. My surgeon carries some Protein shakes in his office that are good but expensive. I am open to some suggestions to Protein Shakes that are flavorful. Thanks

As a suggestion: I think the Atkins Protein Shakes are the best in nutritional intake that I have found. It gives you a good size of Protein and low in carbs. I agree, my surgeon office has protein shakes but they are expensive. Atkins are expensive than the others but it is worth it.

i like the Myoplex brand shakes. I drank Myoplex Original during my preop diet, but now I drink those and the lite shakes. I really like the chocolate flavors they offer. You might give them a try. My doctor suggested I drink this brand and they are as affordable as any of the other I have seen.

Hi Diva01: I'm on the 10th day of my pre-op diet and have been taking EAS whey Protein (vanilla flavor). I take this in powder form mixed with fat free milk and it tastes very good. I purchased it a BJ's for 32.99 and it offers 23grams of Proteins, 3 grams of carbs and 130 calories---keeps me full all the time! I totally recommend this product.

I Like Muscle Milk Light. I was honestly shocked at how good they were. The chocolate and vanilla are pretty good. I get the ready drink ones. Good luck!

Thank you for the replies! This weekend when i grocery shopping, I will find some of these products and give them a try

Look for whey isolate which is easier for your body to break down. It is more expensive but worth it. Personally I look for about 25 g Protein, for less than 120 cal, less 3 g of fat or carbs.

I use Isopure low carb Protein Shake powder in chocolate, but they have many flavors. In the beginning it was hard, but you get used to it really quickly. You can find it at GNC and the last two time I purchased it, it only cost 45.00 for a huge container and if you don't like it after you open it up and try it, you have 90 days to return for a full refund.

I have always bought the Adkins shakes...3 1/2 years post-op and this is still my Breakfast of choice
