I use Premiere chocolate and I LOVE Muscle Milk strawberry. The others (Special K; Atkins etc) will not give you enough Protein.< /p>

The Special K ones don't have nearly as much Protein as you might get from other choices and it can be difficult in the beginning to meet your protein needs. Isopure which is a clear protein comes in ready to drink 20 oz bottles with 40 grams of protein the grape and orange flavors are ok. Pure protein has 25 grams of protein for each can, or the powder which is mixed with Water or milk (for more protein). Later on you can add Protein Bars and you will get much more protein in normal foods but that is after 6 weeks. EAS carb control ready to drink is pretty good, and has 17 grams of protein. You just have to try a few different kinds and write it out to see what will total up to 65+ grams of protein per day.

Make sure you check the sugar content if you try the Special K ones...

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
