Favorite Vanilla Protein Powder/ready made??



Recommended Posts

I like Muscle Milk Light but it can be hard to find. It's easy to find in chocolate. There are a lot of people who don't like it though. They think it's too sweet. I guess I like sweet things!

What day is your surgery?

I love EAS French Vanilla and Atkin's French Vanilla RTD shakes, but the EAS can have a slight after taste if not shaken well, and the Atkin's can come out a little chunky.

Herbalife vanilla dream is really good. All of their flavors are good if you put them in the blender with ice and a teasp of sugar free Jello pudding powder (whatever flavor you want, cheescake and white chocolate.... yum) and blend, blend blend. of course I haven't started on my journey yet, I meet with my surgeon on 6/2, so i dont know if using a blender is ok or not, but these are delish.

I can not stomach RTD shakes!! I have tried many powders and the Protein taste just gags me.

I have found one that I really can not taste the protein at all. I am sooo happy!

It is called Pure Protein. They have it in chocolate and vanilla, but I have only tried the vanilla.!! I bought it at Walmart for $18. Target has it too!

Kelly :rolleyes:

I like the Bariatric Advantage Vanilla too, and the banana flavor is good. But, I strongly suggest making them with at least half milk...if made only with Water they taste too protein-ish. This powder comes out VERY thick and frothy if you whiz it in the blender. I just use a shaker.< /p>

I just tried a sample pack of Six Star Elite Series vanilla cream, and it was actually GOOD! It's not the lowest calorie stuff in the world (160 calories per scoop), but it has 26 grams of Protein. I made mine with 8 ounces of milk, and it really tasted almost like a vanilla milkshake. I don't know how it would do with Water, though, and it does shake up foamy. You can actually get single-serving packets at Walmart, so you can try it to see if you like it a lot. The 2-pound tubs of it are about $18 at Walmart.

BTW, I'm very sensitive to the taste of artificial sweeteners, and I really couldn't tell that it was made with sucralose (splenda).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
