I was wondering if anyone is drinking muscle milk as their Protein Shake? I picked one up at school today because I forgot my premier nutrition shake at home. There's 25g/protein and 9 carbs (but 1g dietary Fiber so technically 8 carbs) and 3g of sugar.

I think it tastes SOOO sweet even though there's so little sugar. I wanted to try the Cookies n cream flavor but even vanilla tastes insanely sweet

I tried Muscle Milk a few times. Right after surgery it made me want to vomit, had to throw it out. Now I can drink it but I do not like it, It was ok before surgery when I tried it when I was prepping for the surgery and buying stuff. It is getting so I do not like the premier ones from costco anymore, I just think drinking them so often (3 times a week) is doing that to me. I guess it might be important to mix up what drink I am having because they are starting to make me ill, very very weird.

I have heard that it's a good way to get in your Protein. Less sugar than most other drinks. A friend of mine who had the surgery said to take half of the container and mix it with regular soy milk. This way the sweetness is cut in half but I know that after surgery your taste buds might be different. I am switching to those after my current Protein Drink is done. I am trying to get in less sugar and more protein before my surgery next year. I'd say if you can handle the sweetness then you could do it once in a while.

I couldn't do the fruity drinks they sent me home with. Truly upset the applecart... So my wife got me MuscleMilk Lite Ready To Drink.

They have 100 calories no sugar and 15g of Protein. And the best part is they go down easy and I can get most of my Protein between them and yogurt. I'm 8 days post op today and since surgery have lost 18lbs.

Good luck,

Andy H.

I love muscle milk! I use the chocolate powder and mix one every morning with skim milk and a scoop of peanut putter. I've had the Cookies and cream too which was good. They also have a mocha latte that I wanted to try but found out it has caffeine in it so I passed.

      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.

      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.
