Question about protein....

[alicat3924 0]

Does anyone know of a good Protein Drink that actually don't taste like chalk? I would like to add them back into my diet because I think I am not getting enough Protein but I can not stand the taste of most of them...anyone actually like the taste of their Protein Shakes? If so what kind do you use?

Matrix Hot Chocolate!! Best tasting by far!

TIP!! Always mix Protein Powder in COLD Water first... other wise you are going to have nasty chalky lumps... even if you have Protein Soups (powders) use cold water first. mix in completely.

Then, let it set for about 2 minutes, then stir again.

Then, add your hot water.

***Don't nuke the shake once the protein is in it.

or its gonna get nasty.

MY hubby and I like the Ensure brand. He likes buttered pecan and I like the strawberry We aren't allowed powdered mixes so we have to select from pre-made ones. There is also this kind in a silver bottle from the Vitamin Shoppe that came in vanilla ice cream and it was delish!

What do you mean you are not allowed powdered drinks??? That makes no sense to me...protein is Protein whether it's powdered, an RTD or a dead cow. You just need to make sure you get the kind of powdered Protein that is for bariatric patients, not bodybuilders/jocks. The powdered is much less expensive and you can flavor it and have lots more variety by using fruits and SF syrups to make lattes and shakes.

Matrix is a great brand....Orange Cream is my fave for a cold drink, chocolate is good cold or hot or in coffee. nectar drinks are clear, fruity flavors similar to Tang....my fave is Fuzzy Navel (peach)....these are both powders. nectar also makes a cappacino flavor that is wonderful in coffee. As far RTD's...Micellar Milk is great...Creamy Vanilla comes in a carton (it's not real milk), 17 oz has 40 gr protein and it tastes wonderful, like rice pudding....you can drink it straight, put it in coffee, make ice cream with it, make pudding with it....the possibiities are endless. You can get it at Vitamin Shoppe in a 4-pack for about $13 (it has lots of Vitamins besides the protein).

You never have to put up with bad protein....there are too many good ones out there.

Dr. said it could clog up in the band passage.

Dr. said it could clog up in the band passage.

I don't see how that's possible unless you forget to add liquid to it and eat it just as a dry powder. But he's the doctor, not me.

All the Protein drinks I've tried have been horrible, especially the Slimfast Low-Carb drinks. Avoid those.

I did try the Special K Protein Water this weekend and really liked it, but it doesn't have nearly as much protein as a "meal replacement" Protein Drink. It has 5 grams of protein and 50 calories for a 16 oz. bottle. I'm going to buy a bunch of the lemon flavored ones and drink one a day as a snack in the afternoon when I'm feeling really hungry.

I use Six Star, and I truly enjoy my Protein drinks. I can also do Isopure.

For me the trick is to mix it with milk instead of Water. That makes a TOTAL different. I cannot drink them if they are just mixed in Water, but even using 0 carb fat free milk makes a huge difference.

My Protein Drinks made my gag when I mixed them with water, I couldn't even stand the smell of them. And before surgery I didn't drink milk so it never occurred to me. Then out of desperation to get my Protein in I used some of DH's milk one day, and it was a definite A-HA! moment.

I also use some sort of flavor enhancer. For my chocolate powder I will blend in some reduced fat Peanut Butter, or some sugar free Kahlua flavoring or Hazlenut, or some 0 carb cocoa mix, or about 1/3 package of Butterfinger brand cocoa mix, etc.

In my vamilla powder I will add Peanut Butter, or 1 packet of Splenda and half/OJ half milk, or some sugar free macadamia flavoring, or a handful of cashews, or a half packet of Mott's cider mix (tastes kind of like an applie pie a la mode shake). Or some sugar free egg nog flavoring.

Or whatever else I can find that sounds good.

I like the Unjury brand you can buy it online. I put the vanilla flavored one with a half a cup of milk and half a bannana, so good! I also like their chocolate flavor, I mix with half a cup of strong coffee and half a cup of milk. I feel like that is a treat in the mornings and 20g of Protein.< /p>
