why can't protein shakes taste good?



Recommended Posts

Everyone I have tasted taste like butt. I don't mind the Special K ones but they have too much sugar. Even the Premier ones are kinda icky.

Have you tried the nectar Sweets? There are a number of good flavors like Cookies and creme, chocolate truffle and vanilla bean. I really have enjoyed these shakes and drank the almost exclusively during the 1st 6 months.

I really like the Unjury Protein. Order on line and they have a sample packet as well.

I have tried just about every one out there. The best tastin IMO are pure Protein. They have 35 grams of protein in each 12 oz can and only 3 or 4 carbs/sugars. I got them on Amazon. I saw some at wal mart that only had 23 grams of protein.

I think its because they're made in a lab / factory.

I try to get the vast majority of my Protein from food. I don't want to be drinking multiple Protein shakes a day for the rest of my life that taste like poo.

Unjury is good but I also like Premier Protien. Pretty yummy and it has 30 grams of protien as well as other stuff :) Not gritty at all!

I like Isopure... I get at "Vitamin Shoppe"...

It's a little pricey but I only use 1 spoon per serving vs the 2 recommended and it's only 100 calories for that 1 scoop and 25 grams of Protein.

Oh and 0 sugar!!! I doll mine up with a splash of vanilla extract & a sprinkle of cinnamon... I use 1/2 cup of Milk & 1/2 of Water and pour it over ice :) With the milk it's probably 150 calories per serving.

You can also get very creative with the sugar free Syrup Torani makes... Iced "protein" mocha's etc ;)

I start every morning off with a Protein shake... that way I'm guaranteed to get my Protein goal in!

Oh another good product that I found is ProteinBlitz at the same store in costs about 2.75 cents it's similar to a Gatorade... Off top of my head I want to say for a 20 ounce bottle you get 30 grams of protein

You can buy them at Vitamin shoppe if you like buying in a store. There are probably many other retail stores you can buy them from. Personally, I like buying my supply off Amazon and then having it show up at my door a couple days later. A lot of folks also swear by the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shake powders. Have not tried those myself. I do not particularly care for the costco powders, but love the GNC amplified wheybolic 60 product. Tastes good and really helps me recover fast after hard workouts by the next day. Hope you find a powder that works great for you.

I am giving away my Unjury starter kit (Minus one packet). The first person to claim it get's it. All I ask is to send me a few bucks for postage (PayPal).

I bought the Ninja blending system and am making my own Protein Shakes.< /p>

Their Double Cookies and Cream is soooooo tasty! Blended with ice and skim milk (or soy) reminds me if a Oreo cookie shake!

I ordered their sample pack from bjsbariatrics.com You pick the 11 flavors you want and it was $13 or so.... Good way to try them out and see if you like em'.

      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.
