goodlife 3 Posted May 4, 2010 Ok...so I really like these! The 14 oz. bottle has 32 g's of Protein. Has anyone else tried these? Are they are good choice for a Protein Drink? I also really like the Muscle Milk Light Protein powder. I'm trying to find alternatives to my one and only that I like the best that I get at my surgeon's office. That is PrescriptFit Lactose Free chocolate powder. One scoop mixes with 6 oz. of Water and has 14 g's of Protein. Thoughts on the OhYeah! RTD shakes and the Muscle Milk Light powder?

sickofrollercoaster 7 Posted May 4, 2010 No opinion yet but would like to try them, where are you getting the OhYeah RTD shakes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodlife 3 Posted May 4, 2010 I got them at GNC.< /p> I did find them at several places online as well but I wanted to make sure it was an OK source of Protein before I ordered a few cases of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoachKK 0 Posted May 4, 2010 I tried looking it up on GNC website. Is it whey isolate? I only see that it says whey Protein. Is that the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodlife 3 Posted May 4, 2010 I have my post op appt today and I think I'm also meeting with the nutritionist so I think I will bring her a bottle and show her and see what she thinks. I'll also bring my container of muscle milk light. I'll let ya'll know what she says! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffykins 673 Posted May 4, 2010 I tried looking it up on GNC website. Is it whey isolate? I only see that it says whey Protein. Is that the same? Here's the actual product label. http://gnc.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pGNC1-5345713_gnclabel_pdf.pdf Milk Protein, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Calcium Caseinate is listed as the protein blend. While whey isolate is the most preferred, I was cleared to use a similar product with Whey Concentrate as the primary source. This does have excellent carb:protein ratio of 4:32. I like the Oh Yeah Protein Bars. I didn't even know they had a RTD protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodlife 3 Posted May 4, 2010 She told me it wasn't the best thing to drink..that it had a little too much calories. But...2 scoops of my prescriptfit powder gives me 220 calories and 28 g of Protein in about 12 oz. of Water. The OhYEah! is a 14 oz. bottle..although they do have 8 oz bottles also. She also said she'd prefer I find something with isolate over concentrate. It figures the one I really LIKE is the one I really shouldn't have! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only one I ever liked was a mix of isolate and concentrate. My surgeon told me, some is better than none. I didn't use it much at all, and didn't find it until I was 4 months out so I was already getting my Protein from food sources. The husband uses it as a protein supplement when he works out. All the ones that taste good of course can't be the ones that they want us to drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmmore 0 Posted May 4, 2010 I'll get back on my band wagon. The Isopure flavored drink that comes in a six pack of different flavors, is 40 grams of Protein, zero carbs, 160 calories,and 20 oz. I pour half a bottle, 10 oz, and that gives me 20 grams of protein with only 80 calories. It's a great supplement to my protein. But, some people don't like the tart taste. If you like starbursts candy, that you'll like this. It makes your tongue pucker a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 4, 2010 I love the oh yeah Protein bars. I get the choc. mint and the choc. Peanut Butter at vitacost.com. I figure it's better than eating candy, even though it tastes like you're eating candy. I didn't know they made a RTD Protein Drink. I say if you like them, drink them. It's better than not getting in enough Protein.< /strong> I get the RTD muscle milk light at costco.I really like that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It did more than make my tongue pucker. I wanted to like it, I wanted to be able to chug it, or even freeze it anything. I tried so hard to like it, but I think I'm the most stubborn, pickiest protein hater in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodlife 3 Posted May 4, 2010 I really like the Muscle Milk Light no sugar added RTD's. I like the banana creme muscle milk light powder too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 5, 2010 You can get a case of muscle milk light at costco for around $22. I really like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delawaregal 2 Posted June 22, 2010 I am only 7 days post op but I had O yeah before surgery. I does have a more sugar but it tastes good and has a lot of Protein. So far all of them make me gag. Isopure taste terrible to me. I mix it with diet ocean spray juice and freeze to eat as a popsicle. I can't even stand nectar which most people like. I would stay away from Muscle Milk it is supposed to have high levels of heavy metals in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
