sdb1147 54 Posted April 20, 2012 I've signed up for a 'Protein Tasting Party' to be put on by the Pacific Nutrition & Wellness Co. this coming Tuesday here in the Seattle area. Perhaps there are organizations in your respective areas doing the same. Then you can get taste samples of the Protein products out there. FYI. 2 4ALongerLife and MrsPiggleWiggle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RawrrAshleex3 137 Posted May 6, 2012 http://buildingbrawn.com They have dozens and dozens of different samples, from nectar Syntrax (awesome fruity flavors) to Protizyme (mmmm dessert flavors!). They cost $0.79-$1.79 each. I bought 17 samples and an amazing shaker for $30 Unfortunitely you can only get 1 sample of a product for most of them though, but its great for our changing taste buds after surgery! 2 jenngottaloseit and sdb1147 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 8, 2012 i went to that site but I couldn't see where you can order samples. I saw that they had many different brands to choose from, but where do you go on that page to look at the samples? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RawrrAshleex3 137 Posted May 8, 2012 Either click the 1 serving tab up top, or type in the search bar "1 serving" "protein" (both with "" just like that). Just look at the nutrition first, some are high in carbs & sugar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gingersnap70 15 Posted June 5, 2012 Has anyone used Visalus Protein Powder? I tried some in December to try and lose some weight and get used to Protein shakes; it has a great flavor and can be mixed with milk or fruit juice. I'm going to ask my doctor if it is a good source of protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistyw 14 Posted June 5, 2012 Yes I have tried Visalus. They are amazing! Ive also been taking the vi slim. I was able to move the scales and get off the plateau i was on. Http://mistywalling.bodybyvi.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick Curl 424 Posted June 5, 2012 Visalus is NOT a good option because it is SOY Protein which is bad because of something to do with Estrogen - it raises Estrogen levels which can cause weight gain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GivingItMyAll 168 Posted June 5, 2012 Thank you so much for this thread. Just orderd samples from BJs Bariatrics and Nashua Nutrition. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick Curl 424 Posted June 5, 2012 I just ordered the free sample of the Chike protein... free +shipping that is - not a bad deal though. 6.95 for a couple different flavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
made2beme 119 Posted June 14, 2012 Still so overwhelmed by all of the brands/flavors/types....pre-op but trying to be prepared. Plus have 2 wks pre-op diet and I am thinking I may do 3 wks just to get that extra push of weight loss. Anyway, while looking I found the BSN - Lean Dessert Protein shake for 1/2 the price at imedmart opposed to BSN website and just thought I would share. The flavors sound delicious..... http://www.imedmart.com/BSN/Lean-Dessert-Protein-Shake/BANANA-NUT-BREAD-1-39-LBS.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The carbs and calories are a little higher than some Protein powders, but that's probably why it's good. I love the banana cream pudding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lish 0 Posted October 7, 2012 Thanks so much Oregon Daisy for posting this list. I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, with surgery being on 10/22, and I was overwhelmed with all the choices! I just ordered several sample packets, so that should help! THANKS again!!!

Jrr 6 Posted October 12, 2012 Just new Info... I ordered the Chike samples last week... shipping isn't $3 anymore..it's $6.95 ....samples were still worth it and I really enjoyed the Orange Creme...didn't care so much for the chocolate as it was really thick....probably would have been better in a blender with ice but I like my chocolate hot....(as in cocoa). I'm going to try the banana today. Buying these sample kits really gives you a great way to check out alot of products for minimal cost and gives you a great variety to prevent boredom too. When you heat these powders depending on the temp they get thick and have lumps like bad gravy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
