What brand of protein drink/powder do you use?



Recommended Posts

I've been using the EAS Advantedge pre-made Protein Shakes, but I'm getting very bored with them. I have one every day for Breakfast since that's about all I can get down first thing in the morning. I'm looking for a Protein Powder that tastes good, or has no taste, so I can add some variety in my shakes . Some recipes would be helpful as well :)

Muscle Milk Lite is pretty tasty but pricey.

I use Premier Protein shakes from Sam's Club. They have 30 gr. protein, 1gr. sugar, 160 cal, and 5 carbs. The chocolate is fantastic, and I get 12 - 11oz. shakes for 18.88 . 2 packs last me for 2 weeks and they are so filling! I love them!

Darn! I was at Sam's today and I kept going back to it. I was comparing it to my Optifast I had which seems very comparable but a lot cheaper! I like that it comes a re sealable container too. You have convinced me, the next time I go to Sam's I am picking up a case of the chocolate. Just curious, have you tried the vanilla? I figured I might be able to blend fresh strawberries with the vanilla. Thanks so much for the info! I go to Sam's on the average of 3 times a month. I'm so looking forward to picking up a case.

I have Baractric Advantage. The vanilla and chocolate are pretty good. You can add fruits to the vanilla to make some tasty shakes. I would say you could do that with any vanilla flavor. My favorite is to add a spoonfull of Peanut Butter to the chocolate. It is so good. These were recipes that they gave me at my doctors office when I got the powder before my surgery. I am on Clear Liquids right now and will be glad to get back to those shakes.

There are unflavored Protein powders out there, Walgreens sells a couple brands, that I put in my morning oatmeal or yogurt to add extra protein to my food. After 2.5 weeks of the flavored Protein Shakes I don't know if I can do them again.

I've been using vanilla and chocolate from Unjury. I've added banana to the chocolate one and sometimes will add a spoonful of Peanut Butter as well for a change in flavor. I've tried the strawberry sorbet, but didn't care too much for it, but I'm not a big strawberry fan either.

So I usually choose the low carb options for my Protein drinks but this morn I didn't have that option and my asst had one of the instant breakfasts....

So my question is do you all ever get sick when you drink something super sweet- I mean I drank one swallow and got sick!!

Still understanding my band!

4 1/2months and 41 lbs down

I love muscle milk, I don't even bother with the light stuff, the regular stuff is only 220 calories a bottle. They are filling and come in so many flavors. My favorites are banana, strawberry, and Cookies & cream. They aren't cheap, but when I'm hungry and in a bind, I know I can go to any convenience store or gas station and get one chilled and ready to go for about 3 dollars. I usually get them on the way to class when I'm looking at 10 hours of class

I like Jay Robb Protein. One of my favorite blender recipes is vanilla protein with a cup of trop 50 oj, ice, some Torani sugar free orange Syrup, and a tsp of dry orange sugar free Jello. Yum, yum!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
