Ok so i keep reading posts about Protein Shakes and this is a little weird but i dont drink milk it makes me wanna vomit. Ive always been this way so my question is are their any Protein Shake without milk?

nectar, by a company called syntax makes Protein Powder to add to Water for a juicy drink, not milky. I love them. Can be bought online or in some health food stores....vitamin shoppe, cape cod nutrition are vendors in my area.

Two flavors I recommend are Roadside Lemonade and ice tea.

I also hate milk and don't drink it. Muscle milk lite in chocolate flavor is pretty good ( despite the name, there is no milk in it). Premier Protein is OKAY, but a little milky. I like it better though because you get more shake and Protein for the calories, and less carbs. Don't do the Atkins shakes or EAS, way too milky tasting. I haven't tried nectar, but it sounds delicious.

Hi myshine,

You can make your own Protein shakes - use soy milk or no milk - use Water ice and some 1/4-1/2 cup low fat yogurt etc... Just be mindful of the cal if you prepare yourself.

yes i have drunk the Protein Shake w/o milk (and as lee said toss in some ice and with a vitamixer, we got a party)...i couldnt take the muscle milk taste so i have used whey extreme from Walmart in chocolate for 10+ months now...i also drink one every day (to help my Protein quota and because i like the taste).....and have put in the freezer to make my own slush..just depends on your taste...and what you like or dont like.

Pretty much ANY powdered protein you get you can mix in Water, or any other liquid of your choice - people tend to mix in milk to give it more of a milkshake like taste.

I am not a big fan of chocolate or vanilla and so for me I LOVE the syntha-6 Peanut Butter cookie Protein Powder (you can get it now at GNC, or online)

it is deliciousness in a cup lol. But I like it with milk better however it is just as yummy with Water too

You don't have to drink your Protein (I don't think). My nutritionist said that she'd much rather I chew my Protein and eat "real food" than drink my protein. Talk to your nutritionist. I believe though, in order to get your proper protein in for the day, it can be a real boost. It is also vital to the healing process immediately after surgery as you're still on liquids for weeks after your surgery in most cases and protein helps to HEAL you. One of the best effects is that it makes you feel full longer. Definitely ask your nut to help out. Many of the Protein Shakes out there aren't milky and there are other ideas out there. Get your medical team involved - they're there to help!
