What protein shake do you recommned?

[Ellie4me 1]

My Dr gave me a list of different Protein Shakes, but not sure which ones to get. Can anyone recommend a brand and flavor and if you have any "tricks" on how to make them better?

I noticed that Sam's is selling several different brands, even GNC brands. Any tried any and recommend?

Thanks!

I love the Premier Protein shakes from Sam's (and Costco). They have 160 cals and 30g Protein in 11oz. They only had chocolate at costco but you can buy them online in vanilla and strawberry as well. To me they taste like the Atkins shakes, only a little thinner and with twice the protein.

The Syntrax nectar powders are ok and come in lots of different flavors. I liked the Cappuccino and vanilla Bean Torte best. If you search for shake recipes on this site you'll find tons of them. Most recently I've been mixing Vanilla with pumpkin puree and milk and spices to make a pumpkin pie shake, but you can use whatever powder you like best. powders seem to be really individualized in terms of taste.

Syntrax Nectar...It comes in over a dozen flavors and I love them all. My very favorite is the chocolate Truffle. They all have 100 calories, 0 carbs, 0 fat and 24 grams of Protein. I buy it from mybariatricpantry.com You can buy a sample pack with 10 different flavors for about $12.00. I tried many kinds of Proteins drinks and powders and this is by far the best.

Thanks for the recommendation. this is off subject but I saw in your info that you had emergency surgery for bleeding after the sleeve. My surgery is next mth and wondering if you don't mind sharing what happened that caused the emergency surgery? To say that I am nervous is the biggest understatement ever. thanks.

I second this recommendation. My favorite nectar Protein drink is vanilla Bean Torte followed closely by Cappuccino. I also like a few of the Inspire Protein powders - Caramel latte is great.

Pantry Selections makes some great hot chocolate flavors that have about 15 grams of protein, low carbs and fat.

There are def some great tasting protein powders available, it might take you some trial and error before finding one(s) you love.

Sampled all those and every other variety available with whey isolate Protein. I found the Bariatric Fusion to be the most pallatable. I did find a few of the nector ones to be okay...no fruit flavored ones. My surgeons office actually carries it but it can also be ordered online at bariatricfusion.com.
