Best Protein Shake Ever



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Oct. 15th & I was beginning to think I would just starve until I could finally eat real food. The Protein shake requirement was killing me because everything tasted terrible.

Today I went to the health food store & asked what they recommended: About Time Protein shakes. They were $3 each, so I thought I'd try a couple. The first one I tried was Birthday Cake flavor. It tasted just like the birthday cake milkshakes I got at the convenience shop.

I'm so glad I found this brand...now I can get in my Protein without too much hassle.

They have other flavors, too, which I haven't tried yet, but I will. I also mixed it with milk (lactaid) instead of Water. I didn't add anything else.

And I don't work for them, either. I was just so excited to find something I liked that meets all the requirements. They have samples on their website:

Thanks for the info! I ordered a couple sample packs (had to get the birthday cake) for $3.99 each and they offer FREE shipping, which is nice.

I have been trying to find new Protein drinks and powders to try. I like the Isopure powders, but no ready to invest in pounds of it just yet. Ive been getting alot of sample packs. I just got my nectar sample and matrix sample today. I started on the Protein powder brand from Walmart (cant remember the name) that was $14 to $20, its was way to foamy and SO GLAD its all gone now... Thanks again!

I've used try about time' date=' they're good and not too sweet, kinda pricey though.[/quote']

Yes, that's true, but I'm saving so much money on food since I don't ready out or buy junk, I figure it's worth the price. I found it at my local health food store & it seems more reasonable than the online prices.

I enjoy the GNC Total Lean products. The ready made shakes are delicious, especially the dark chocolate. Also have vanilla & strawberry in ready made shakes. Other varieties available in powder.

These have no chalky after taste.

What other flavors should I sample? I don't want to do the normal chocolate and vanilla. Has anyone tried the mocha mint?

I recently tried the banana. It was good. I use birthday cake the most. Didn't like the strawberry. I haven't tried any of the chocolate kinds.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
