Best Protein Drink?

[ginger 0]

What do you think is the best tasting Protein Drink available?

I think there are already a bunch of threads about this, but I preferred the Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks.< /p>

Ditto on the CIB with skim milk. That's all I could tolerate after surgery.

I LOVE Isopure Protein Drink and Protein Water. Both come in a big bottle. The protein water is light in color, lightly flavored, and has 5g of protein. The protein drink comes in a big glass bottle also, is brightly colored, an comes in various full on fruity flavors like mango, apple, and grape. It has 40g of protein per bottle, and tastes like liquid Jello. you can buy it online, and in some GNC's.

Does Carnation Instant Breakfast have a lot of Protein? I never throught of it as a high protein option.

One serving of CIB has 5 Gms Protein. One cup of skim milk has 8 - 9 Gms depending on the brand.

This gives you 14 gms of Protein per serving.

Isopure RTD has 40 Gms per 20 ounce serving. Same amount of CIB/Skim Milk has 35 Gms.

Isopure is touted to be one of the highest Protein drinks. I personally can't stand the taste of Isopure or other Protein Drinks but like CIB/Skim milk.

Thanks!!!! I am not a fan of Protein drinks, but could definitely stomach CIB. I'll be banding in 1 1/2 weeks, and am trying to plan out my protein. I'm so thrilled at this option!

[FunnyDuddies 6]

I hear ya on it being the same. I can't do CIB though so that is why i stay clear of it. Plus it has carbs in it, which i am trying to cut down on. the Isopure is carb free.

[Mvpo8961 1]

They even make a lactose free CIB. But it is RTD and high calorie. Although you could add soymilk to it to cut the calories. You still would get a good dose of Protein.

Because I don't like milk products I opted for Isopure after my banding. It is really sweet so I blend it with ice in my Magic Bullet and it is great. I know I'm getting my Protein and it tastes great. Right out of the bottle it is a little too sweet for me, but blended it is great. I had to order mine on line from The Supplement Store at GNC here doesn't carry it. It was well worth the money. I bought a case of the tropical fruit and the grape...both are good.

Hope you find something you truly enjoy.

the weird thing is...i am sometimes, and other times i can handle it. i never know till i drink milk or eat some cheese. i can handle cottage cheese really well. and milk is 50/50.

You could try the lo carb CIB(powder form) in soymilk. Just would give you a different flavor occasionally. My daughter drinks the lo carb CIB and adds a little shot of lo carb chocolate Syrup to give it a little extra chocolatey flavor. Well 16 y/o girls need their chocolate right?

yeah i could steer clear of the chocolate Syrup. i have lost all taste for the super sweet flavor. almost gagged the other when i licked a fork that had maple syrup on it. LOL sugar overload!!!
