Dizzle 19 Posted May 14, 2012 Ok I know im supposed to consume 60 to 70 grams of Protein per day and after surgery thats gonna be tough sooo is it better to drink shakes that have 40 grams of protein per 20 ozs OR drink those little shots thatare like 40 + grams per 3.5 ozs?

Joni 94 Posted May 15, 2012 I could barely stand those Protein Shots even though they sounded like a great idea. I've had them 2 or 3 times, and I don't think I'll do that again. I think some of them might have questionable Protein sources too, so be careful reading your labels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nina88 73 Posted May 15, 2012 In our options class we were told the Protein Shots were the wrong type of Protein.< /p> 1 PEvette reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GivingItMyAll 168 Posted May 15, 2012 I cannot stomach those Protein shot. BLEH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 15, 2012 Those Protein shots are collegan Protein which is made from boiled cow hides. It's best to get your protein from a high quality whey protein isolate. 2 Lauranbob Mc and CrazyCatLady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PEvette 297 Posted May 15, 2012 The nectar Protein Drinks are good, you mix them with Water and it almost tastes like kool-aid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveDreamer 383 Posted May 15, 2012 The Premier Protein shakes (RTD) are the best in my opinion. They are 30g Protein each. i could not stand any of the powdered ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joni 94 Posted May 15, 2012 yes a lot of the fruit flavors are clear from nectar. I like them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kczar 166 Posted May 17, 2012 A word of caution - Even though the nectar line is fruit flavored, it has a milky appearance when it's mixed with Water. It also tends to foam so it can be a bit off putting. I think it's probably best diluted with more water than is indicated on the package and doctored with something to boost the fruit flavor. I think I'm going to try the grapefruit one over crushed ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
