Best tasting protein shake with hiighest pdcaas?



Recommended Posts

Getting ready for my sleeve on March 4th. I would assume this question is on here somewhere, but I can not find it, so I will ask again. What do you think is the best Protein supplement out there, considering pdcaas score, taste, and value? I need to stock up.

I got lucky on my 1st try. Bottled EAS carb control Dutch chocolate @ Walmart. 4 for $5. It is a little too thin for my taste, but it does taste good. I toss in a spoon of another chocolate low carb Meal Replacement to thicken it up.

Don't forget to buy one of the $7 shaker bottles with the round spring @ Walmart. Perfect for mixing shakes or taco mix with Water (I don't buy any kitchen tool that can't multitask like a mutha!) :P

Premier Protein shakes pre made from costco or SAMs club

There are MANY threads here about them that you can search.... :)

From OTR;

Looking at the ingredients of a premier shake, it is all milk based Proteins which score 1.0- the best score available.

I typically say that premier is a "good alternative" if you cannot tolerate pure whey Protein isolate or I'd you need the convenience.

The downside to Premier shakes is that they are mostly milk based rather than whey. Meaning they do contain much of the impurities found in milk and are not a good option for the lactose intolerant. Keep in mind that immediately after surgery we are much more likely to develop a lactose intolerance. Therefore I recommend them as a convenience but not as a regular "go to" protein source.

Matrix nectar Protein powder - chocolate Truffle

Awesome with a few ice cubes and Hood low carb milk in my personal blender. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of frozen cottage cheese. powder plus milk equal about 28 grams of Protein.< /p>

They have lots of flavors and every is good.

"Best tasting" is going to be so subjective. What tastes good pre-op and what tastes good post-op are two different beasts. Even over time what I've been able to tolerate in my shakes has changed drastically. Some things, like nectar of any flavor, have always tasted disgusting to me. Other things, like Total Lean, tasted great until about a month ago when they were suddenly sickeningly sweet.

Get samples of as much as you can before you go dumping a ton of money in to buying up powders and shakes. Try a little of everything to see what works for you. All the feedback in the world will mean nothing if it tastes like crap to you.

      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.
