Protein shakes

[Amanda D Greeson 15]

I am in the process of trying to figure out a good Protein Powder for my pre op diet as well as post op. What type Protein powered did y'all use and did it taste good?

Taste is subjective, what's good for me may make you puke. Best bet is to go to a place that sells supplements. Ask them for some samples. I know Max Muscle will give you samples of their powders, and they're nutritionally sound with less fillers than a lot of mass produced products. Any of the High Five Proteins from Max Muscle, Monster Milk/Muscle Milk work, Dymatize is also a very smooth Protein, mixability is amazing even in just a shaker cup, which a lot of people have issues with clumps.

I agree with Mark. Taste is totally subjective. What one person loves another will hate. I used Jay Robb in pre-op because I could buy it in Whole Foods where it was cheaper than GNC. After surgery I couldn't stand the taste so I started using Isopure (I order it off Amazon) which I tolerate fairly well but I'm creative with recipes.

If you can get brand samples, I highly advise giving a few a try. But your taste buds may change after surgery or you may just get sick of a flavor or brand so don't stock up too much at once.

I'm taste-testing them pre-surgery, knowing that my tastes may change post-op. I also have to do them for my pre-op diet next month. I have muscle milk and Premier shakes, pre-mixed, in the fridge as we speak. I love orange Julius drinks, and have been trying to find one that simulates that taste, but so far no dice. They all taste like baby aspirin to me. I'm thinking of trying fresh-squeezed OJ with almond milk and ice in the blender, adding the unflavored Protein Powder. Maybe that will work ...
