BBdoodle 483 Posted August 3, 2012 I have been using the Isopure Dutch Cholocate. I was on the vanilla first then kind of got sick of that and switched to the cholocate. I make my shakes with 2% milk, I don't like the shakes but I have to have them so I have been tolerating them. You are so right about leaving a residue on you lips - I hate that !!! I just bought a different brand (I forgot its name) I have not tried it yet. I think all the Protein Drinks are going to taste like crap, some a bit better than others but in general I don't think they are all that tasty!!! I always look for the shake that has the highest Protein per spoon full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxyraquel 77 Posted August 3, 2012 Well atleast I'm not alone lol. I'm gonna look online and see if they have sample Protein drinks before I go out and spend the cash so I can drink something that taste at least kinda good. And yeah it was like chalky I mixed mine with Water because every one said no milk so is it ok to mix milk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted August 3, 2012 I have been getting my Protein drinks from Drugstore.com and they are awesome with returns. I ordered Protein Shots that were the most discusting thing I ever drank, they tatest like rotten prune juice - seriously they were nasty. I returned them and they gave me full credit. I have only mixed my Protein with milk - 2% or fat free milk. You get the extra protein from milk. My Dr. requires a minimum of 64 grams of protein a day. I try to get 75 - 80 grams per day. Why are people saying no milk w/protein shakes ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roxyraquel 77 Posted August 5, 2012 oh ok i will look it up i go to gmc hubby has a golds card so we get a lil off. And idk i read peoples forms and they said only Water. Today i mixed it with milk tasted a whole lot better. Have you tried the little chews? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
working4shoes 55 Posted August 5, 2012 I like the Oh Yeah! Premade Protein shakes. They have several flavors. I get them at The Vitaman Shoppe. Also another premade called. RTD51. It's 51 grams of Protein. I like the chocolate. You just have to try a few until you find something you like. 1 moffie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenneliza 257 Posted August 5, 2012 Watch out with those shots, their Protein is incomplete. I love the Syntrax nectar powders. The Fuzzy Navel is good and more like juice. The chocolate truffle with unsweetened almond milk is great too. Check return policies from your stores. The Vitamin Shoppe told me that I could return my powder if I didn't like it!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-NOTE using RNYTalk Just with Water. I like to add a little mio tangerine and keep it ice cold. I'm going to try to mix it with some kinds of crystal light. I'm going to try some of the other flavors and ordered a variety pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
