What's your favorite Protein Powder?



Recommended Posts

What is your favorite Protein powders and why what make them special? Also do you prefer medical grade Protein?

GNC Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 - it's made for bodybuilders but I consume only 2/3 serving. It's delicious mixing it with just Water, it's even better with milk. I got sleeved 5/28 but I still have this for Breakfast every morning. I'm also a fan of Syntrax Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonade flavors.

I like Syntrax nectar in vanilla Bean Torte or Double Stuffed cookie. I'm pre-op right now, so in the morning I mix 2 scoops with a 16 oz. bottle of Water. It would be even better with milk, but I'm content to use just Water. Also, one scoop of each is really good also. :)

Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to give them a try. When mixing with Water does the shake taste bland? Also the lemonade is it more like crystal light?

I'm with you corvette, I really enjoy the double stuffed Cookies. Have you tried anything that was savory? Like the unflavored in Soup?

Those are my two favorite Syntrax Nectar flavors, too. I also like caribbean cooler, if I had to choose only one fruit-flavored Syntrax, that'd be the one I'd go with. Syntrax also makes a medical-grade unflavored Protein which works well as long as you don't use water over 140 degrees; that will curdle the Protein and ruin it.

I like that Syntrax powders dissolve instantly (other powders I tried didn't do so well, even with a blender-bottle), and they are delicious in almond milk. I sometimes toss a few ice cubes into my Ninja blender to make a milkshake-consistency shake with them.

I'm hoping that my tastes won't change post-op, but we'll see!

The AMP Wheybolic is just fine with Water, not sure I would recommend any other brand chocolate with water. Oh I forgot to mention unjury chocolate Splendor, it's actually my second favorite chocolate. I'd only use milk with this one (skim or no fat).

The Syntrax Lemonade doesn't taste so much like Crystal Light to me but I like it.

Thanks for the advice, I will try some unflavored. Does the Caribbean cooler mix with milk or Water, and what does it taste like? Hawaiian drink, coconut,....

Caribbean Cooler mixes pretty well with water--I haven't tried it with milk but it may work well; it tastes like a piña colada. It's probably my third favorite after Vanilla Bean Torte and Double Stuffed Cookie. There's a website where you can buy 11 sample packets for around $15 to see what you like.

I haven't tried anything savory yet. I'm thinking of ordering the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor and the Syntrax Medical grade unflavored. From what I hear all of the unflavored powders really do have a little bit of taste, but you need to add it to something tasty as opposed to something bland to kill that.

I agree--I have the Syntrax Medical unflavored, and I don't notice a strong flavor if it's mixed into something that's not bland.

      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.
