Protein That Taste Good!



Recommended Posts

I'm new here so I'm not quite sure how this works. :) I luv the site!

Does anyone know Protein Shakes that don't taste powdery and that is good to taste?

I would love some input. I'm jus fixing to start my journey. So I'm trying to get myself ready. Thanks in advance for all the help! :)

Protein Shakes in general are gross, I have found that the Isopure Dutch chocolate is tolerable, just my opinion.

UNJURY is not bad at all, I ordered the starter kit first, it comes with many samples and then I ordered larger amounts of my favorites, I buy online. You should try whatever gives you a chance to try samples first.

I will tell you that the Protein Shakes i liked prior to surgery I no longer can tolerate. The two that i use daily are Unjury chicken broth and Syntrax Nectar. You can buy samples at unjury.com and they have other flavors too. I also like Syntrax nectar. I use the kiwi strawberry. I ordered initially from vitalady.com as you can buy individual samples of a variety of different kinds and also other brands. Pre-surgery I liked the milky tasting Protein shakes. I used Atkin's and some of the powders that Walmart carries. Post surgery the milky ones make me nauseated so I can't do them. I could retry them but the thought still makes me feel ill. I usually make my Protein Shake the night before so it is cold. I use a scoop and a half of the Nectar for about 35 grams of protein in about 12 ounces of Water. I like it and use my protein shakes for meals still and am almost 4 months out. I know buy alot of stuff off of Amazon.com but initially didn't want to buy in bulk without sampling first... So good luck

When my husband had surgery, he struggled to find one he could tolerate. He finally found Atkins Advantage (ready to drink). This was on the list approved by our doc. Must specifically be the Advantage line. He loved the strawberry...said it tasted like strawberry quick. There are lots of flavors. Its what I'm using now as well....I'm sick of sweet stuff but I'm doing well with it overall. Hope this helps.

Thank you, yes all of these are helping... Someone else told me Special K has Protein Shakes that were really good too. I do not like milk so I've gotta find something that's not too milky. Plus, I hate chocolate. LOL

So it will have to be strawberry or something fruity maybe.

Im def gonna try some of these suggestions!

The special K Protein drinks don't really have enough Protein. I looked into them. I used to do Atkins but like I said post surgery didn't like them anymore. I would check out vitalady.com she has tons of brands and samples you can try...

I agree. The Atkins were my preference before surgery, but now I gag at the thought. And I bought a BUNCH!!! Big mistake. I need to try the Unjury chicken Soup. I have heard it is really good. I bought Muscle Milk Light, EAS, SlimFast, because they were all pretty good tasting. But post op, they are not as good tasting. So don't buy a lot pre-surgery even if you like them. The bottom shelf of my fridge is still FULL. Thankfully my husband drinks one before he goes to work each day to help me get rid of them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
