How do you get over the "protein" taste of Protein Shakes? !?!?! Ugh!!!!!!! All I taste is medicine and chemicals. I had such yummy flavors too but can hardly taste the yumminess.

I use all flavors of Unjury and am mixing with Water as I just had surgery. When I used them before surgery I mixed it with skim or FF milk and would add a handful of frozen berries or frozen pineapple, mango & strawberries. For the chicken flavor I would add it to Soups as well as the cheese flavor. My favorite was Tomato Soup with the cheese Protein added into it.

I use the

Syntrax - nectar Medical Unflavored and it really doesnt have any taste at all. Hope you can find something you like. Keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and it wont be long until you wont have to rely on those Protein Shakes.< /span>

I've found 2 that I like - 1st place: Premier Protein chocolate shake

- 2nd place: EAS carb control chocolate

I like them even better with a scoop of powdered chocolate Protein thrown in. I like my Protein shakes kinda thick. I bought a bag of chocolate soy Meal Replacement mix at Sam's Club and have been putting a scoop of it in my shakes.< /p>

Sometimes they feel a little "grainy" but they always taste good. No chemical aftertaste. AND cheap, just over $1.50 per shake.< /p>

You can get EAS at Wal-mart - 4 for $5. The Premiers, I had to buy a case of 12 at Sam's - 12 for $19.

I'm limited to where I can buy Protein right now (price limitations and location). We only have a Walmart, Walgreens, and GNC. I found a shake from GNC, can't remember the name off hand, red bottle (GNC brand) strawberry and single serve sizes. Like 29 grams of Protein each. These are OK but are much more expensive because they're already made shakes, unlike making your own. 8.99$ I think for a 4 pack. Then I bought just whey protein brand powder, vanilla because all other flavors I just felt I'd get sick of fast, and I figure I can add fruit to vanilla to change the flavor a bit, this is the horrid stuff. I first tried almond milk, gag, Water is an absolute no go, and regular milk tastes OK but still gags me. I even mixed in sugar free chocolate Syrup and it didn't help the flavor.

Then I ordered the 11 sample packs of nectar protein. I got Cappuccino, stuffed cookie, vanilla bean torte, caribbean cooler, lemonade, wild cherry, fuzzy navel, and maybe more. I tried the cookie one and couldn't even choke down one gulp!!!! Tried lemonade with Water this morning and added ALOT of water to try and lessen the flavor, didn't help, I finished only 8 oz and it took almost 2 hours to choke it down :( I wanna save money by mixing my own shakes and I know once I have surgery (the 10th) I will HAVE to start drinking them no matter what!!! What can I do!!!!???

      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.
