Time2live 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Sooooooo....anyone in Canada know of a decent tasting ready made Protein shake that is low carb? I looked online at the Slimfast optima and they have 20g Carbs..yikes!! I'm trying to choke back the stuff I have and who knew that eating liquid chalk could result in a 3lb loss in 3 days and it's my time of the month! I was just wondering if anyone lucked into finding a ready made that isn't nasty. Thanks all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted June 26, 2006 Have you tried the Atkins or Isopure or something like that. I love the slim fast chocolate and now they have a high Protein One, not the optima but a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyDuddies 6 Posted June 26, 2006 I LOVE Isopure. It is 40g of Protein and NO CARBS!!! and it tastes like Jello. Its FAB! I know you can buy it online if you can't find a good place to get it near you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallyjo 0 Posted June 26, 2006 The Atkins Advantage is low carb,low sugar and 18 grams of Protein and fairly reasonable in price. If you like chock. its great:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewsLou 3 Posted June 26, 2006 I really like EAS Advant Edge Carb Control shakes. 100 calories, 15g of Protein and 1 carb! The strawberry cream are my fave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoOrLess 0 Posted June 26, 2006 I love Advant Edge too- shakes AND bars -- great Protein --- not sure if they are available online or in Canada though.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewsLou 3 Posted June 26, 2006 I haven't tried the bars..... I'll have to look for those! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Hiya Time2Live....I was about to tell you about the GNC brand double chocolate Protein powder but then realized you were asking about a "ready-made" shake. I don't do those so I can't really help you there. However, I do sometimes have an Ensure (chocolate) for Breakfast and just add some of my Protein Powder.

Time2live 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Mysherrijo and salljo -I did look for the Atkins at the Superstore and didn't see it and I've never seen Isopure anywhere...where did you buy yours? Funny: any particular flavor that you prefer over the others? Drewslou and Moorless: Where did you buy the advant? Yoda: The only reason I was going to try ready made was because both of the ones I bought were sooooo chalky and I thought the cans would be smoother going down. I really didn't want the pre op to be a 300.00 experience on it's own but geeez...I may have to actually waste 3/4 of a can of two different kinds. DH even tried to get creative and add a crystal light package to the vanilla....Hola...God love him...but that was a definite no. Anyways I shall go on a hunt for something else to try....thanks all for the suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elisabethsew 50 Posted June 26, 2006 I did the ready to drink (RTD) 90 calorie, 10 grams of Protein Shakes from Medifast and still have some in the house for fill days. You get them online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallyjo 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Don't know if you have a Walmart or not. That's where I found my Atkins Good luck.:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted June 27, 2006 A word of caution about the Isopure. (It can be found at GNC, by the way), Although the FLAVORS were O.K., they always seemed to leave a funny film in my mouth kind of like it was sucking all the liquid out of my mucous membranes. It was weird and it made me not want to drink it unless I ABSOLUTELY had to. If I had to have a ready made Protein drink, the Boost drinks are O.K. in a pinch. Both the regular Boost (not plus, which is yucky) and the Boost breeze (fruity) are tasty and come in several flavors. I also liked the SF Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks. They were probably the most tasty to me even though they may not have had quite as much Protein as Boost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almostready76 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Hey you... I just tried the Atkins chocolate royale with only 2 carbs...ready made just pop open the can and blend with ice or drink cold...much better than the powder I have been using!!! We are just about done 3 days though friend!!!! We are doing great...See you in 11 days honey!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JulieLu 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Myoplex by EAS has 42 grams of Protein and tastes good. It has 23 grams of carbs but that's not bad considering the 42 grams of protein. You can get them at Walmarts and GNC. The website has free shipping on orders over $75. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
