Tcisme 13 Posted April 29, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted April 29, 2013 Protein Shakes in general are gross, I have found that the Isopure Dutch chocolate is tolerable, just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marisela 104 Posted April 29, 2013 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. 1 nienie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nienie 113 Posted April 29, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tcisme 13 Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks y'all... I will def check out these websites! I've gotta find something I can tolerate b4 my Last Meal. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat23 47 Posted April 29, 2013 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. 1 vachick64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tcisme 13 Posted April 29, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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...

Tcisme 13 Posted April 29, 2013 Ok thanks... I will def check that out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kjrny2013 33 Posted April 29, 2013 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.
