I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion so here's mine ..... Muscle milk is disgusting but if that's what you like, go for it. I use Body Fortress with a glass of skim milk, 2 scoops in the milk and you have your daily minimum of 60 grams of Protein. Put it in the blender and add ice and crush it and it adds more of a milkshake texture. Body Fortress also cost much less than most of the others (about $15 at Wal Mart). Good Luck

I use Muscle Milk Lite, vanilla.< /p>

I mix it in a blender, with either Water or milk, and add some frozen berries or fruit from costco. makes a good smoothie, that I have for Breakfast everyday.

You can research your own recipes, bananas, Peanut Butter, all sorts of things you can do.

The Muscle Milk is only the base for the Protein.< /p>

EAS Myoplex from BJ's for powder. 30 bucks for 5lbs, dissolves very easily in Water, and tastes a lot less like whey than most. I tried about 6 different vanillas before I just said screw it and bought it as a last ditch attempt. chocolate is good too. As said above, those are bases and feel free to mix other stuff to them. I don't like strawberry or other flavored powders as I'd just put some frozen strawberries in myself.

For premade, muscle milk light is good since its at almost any convenience store now a days and doesn't taste that bad. As with most premades, it's thicker than powder. Personal opinion, steer clear of Cookies and cream!!! Awful!!!

Premier Protein, purchased at costco by the case. Pre-made, chocolate and Vanilla are pretty dang good. 11oz gives you 30g of Protein, 160 calories and only 5g carbs. and at $25.99 for 30 is not too bad.

I am not a fan of most Protein drinks/powders because they taste like crap to me... including most of the ones already mentioned in this thread...

I use Protein powders everyday nonetheless.... If you can afford it I prefer BSN Syntha 6 and BSN Lean Dessert.... They taste AWESOME!

But I'm also cheap... so normally I get different blends in bulk at proteinfactory dot com... The products are normally a fair compromise between price and taste and they mix very well... I despise clumpy or gritty protein drinks!

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would add my choice. I have discovered unjury after trying a half dozen other types. You can only get it online, but in my opinion it is the best tasting, no after-taste Protein powder out there.

I use the unflavored in juices. It adds a slight taste, but it is not even close to unpleasant.

I use the chocolate splendor and strawberry in milk (Low fat and skim). The chocolate tastes like Yoo Hoo, and the stawberry reminds me of strawberry Quik my parents used to get for us when we were kids as a treat.

The biggest thing I noticed about others compared to the Unjury was I would taste the others for hours after....sort of like you taste that hot dog you had at the ballgame hours ago.......not pleasant. The Unjury just mixes smooth, goes down easy, and I never taste it again.

One important thing I think people need to remember regarding Protein powders. They are not a miracle of any sort - they are only liquid food - nothing more - nothing less. food is best eaten in its' whole form. But sometimes - especially in the morning (unfortunately when our bodies are quite catabolic) - we have a hard time getting all of the nutrition we need through solid food - and that's where Protein powders can make up the difference.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
