Poll Please: Most Tolerable Bang For Your Buck Protein Powder

[DanaInNewOrleans 513]

I plan on mixing it with Hood Calorie Countdown milk and whatever else I can think of to mask the taste...lol...suggestions? On the powders and the extra ingredients......

I want to start now before surgery to get use to the Protein routine. I am not a big drinker so I know I've got to work on this before surgery.

By bang for your buck I mean protein grams not $$$ bucks!

Thanks!

I tolerated the Unjury vanilla, which wasn't bad. They also have unflavored which i added different flavored sugar free syrups and sugar free pudding mix to. They have sample packs you can order. I, also liked the Optimum vanilla ice cream powder from GNC. Mixed with 8 oz of skim milk it's 32g of Protein. Both products are very low carbs. I tried the Isopure clear drinks, well, one bottle and just about puked! I, took the other three bottles back to GNC for a refund. But, try and get samples, ask for samples because our taste buds seem to have a mind of their own post op!!! Hope this helps.

i enjoy Syntrax nectar. they are fruity instead of creamy. i like the crystal sky, which is like a blue sweet tart, and fuzzy navel. they are easy to mix with a smaller amount of Water than recommended ( i do 1 scoop 4 oz h20) and take 2 shots. they are about 25g Protein on average. also iforce protean comes in vanilla cupcake batter and red velvet. i haven't tried them, but reviews have been great. i just ordered some.

with the nectar ones, i will also get in an extra serving and mix 1 with my Water for the day and add sweetener to taste. it's a little watered down, but the sweetener helps it to be like lightly flavored koolaid.

I miss Hood Carb Countdown with the Unjury unflavored Protein Powder to make a Protein Drink. i also add a spoonful of Greek Yogurt for extra Protein and creaminess. It is good, so much better than the ready to drink canned drinks.< /p>

Good for you for being proactive about this and not waiting till the last minute. You are going to do great. I like Met-Rx.

Premier Protein at Sams. They are thinner - go down easier with more mellow taste - 30-gms of Protein - and saves the mixing hassle.

Why do you miss it? Did your doc veto them?

Sorry, my spell check changed mix to miss....I still drink Hood with unflavored powder. It is good.

Another vote for Unjury. I have every flavor they make.

I like Matrix. It's made by Sytrax, the same company that makes nectar.

It has the lowest carbs and calories for 25 grams of Protein 120 calories and 3 carbs.

I love the orange cream, the vanilla, and chocolate. I'm going to get banana next. I mix in all different Torini sugar free syrups to jazz up the flavors.

Be careful of buying cheap Protein. Check the source. Different types of protein digest differently, and may be less available to your body.

You can buy soy based protein, rice based protein, etc. Still protein, but lower quality protein per gram. I think these are more popular with vegans.

I make sure it says 3 words: whey PROTEIN ISOLATE.

Isopure low carb powder50 gms serving!

[Need-a-Sleeve 211]

Love Chike vanilla 28 grams, very smooth & mixes with anything. They have a dynamite iced coffee Protein mix too. But hands down best (for me) is Isopure Zero Carb unflavored with 50 grams in 2 scoops.
