Muscle Milk?



Recommended Posts

Who likes Muscle milk?? I am thinking of picking some up but I am so tired of trying to find Protein that isn't icky. I'd like to make some protein ice cream too.

I dont like most Protein shakes either. But I like coffee flavored ones. And I can tolerate the vanilla flavored ones when I add a tsp reduced fat PB. I live in India, so I get a limited choice in the brands. I haven't tried Muscle milk yet.

I drink Optifast VLCD. The others that I've tried are Indian brands - so no help to you really, sorry!

How far post-op are you? If you are in the solids phase, you could probably try some Protein Bars? I like the Quest bars! You could try samples of different brands and buy those which you like.

I actually didn't mind the muscle milk and surprisingly enough, the banana creme wasn't horrible either!

I have tried the chocolate Muscle Milk Light. I like it. It has the consistency of chocolate milk.

I like the muscle milk light, but the regular muscle milk was gross to me. It tasted like thick chalk.

Well I don't like the Protein Shakes either. But I found it better to make my own flavor insnead of buying flavored ones. I bought the dot Protein Powder no flavor and I add 1 bannana and 1 scoop Protein powder, 1 tble spoon peaubt butter, 1/2 or 1 cup soy milk, add ice to blender and this was much better for me to tolerate.

I like the vanilla Muscle Milk Light, but it does have a sort of "super sweet" quality to it. The cartons that I get at costco (I am cheap) have 20g Protein. Out of the vanilla ready to drink products, it has been the best until I noticed yesterday that Premier Protein recently changed the formula on their ready to drink vanilla (which I previously hated). I bought and tried the new Premier vanilla and I think it is much better than the old formula, less gritty by far. So, if you tried that before and didn't like it, you might wish to try the new formula.

The manufacturers of Muscle Milk also make a powdered product under the brand "Cytosport". I buy this at costco (comes in large bags) and add it to coffee for 27 g of Protein. The Cytosport mixes very well with hot or warm coffee.< /p>

I didn't like the Light chocolate Muscle Milk, I thought it tasted really sweet and thick. My favorite so far is actually Bariatric Advantage's Chocolate. I tried it in the ready-to-go bottle. It was pretty yummy.

I tried a Cookies n' Cream one a few days ago and didn't care for it. It's a product my NUT normally advises against, but I'm having trouble with some of the more standard Proteins so she suggested I try it. I don't think I'll be buying many more. Maybe if I'm on the road and NEED something, and can find it at a gas station or something. I might be willing to try some other flavors but I don't think anything with banana would be one of them. :)

Muscle Milk seems too sweet for my taste. the only one I like is the strawberry Creme, not as sweet. I like the rtd Pure Protein chocolate or the Premier chocolate from costco. I never liked the taste of powdered so gave all that away.

      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.
