I've never tried the powders, just the premade shakes.

I think the New Directions brand chocolate is the best. They sell it at my surgeon's office. The other flavors arent as good, but I really like the chocolate.

the chocolate Protein powder from target is pretty good. the brand is market pantry. The vanilla tastes like crap though.

I was asking the same question myself today. I am so sick of the Protein powder I have been using, it was so hard to hide the taste of it. So this morning I stopped by one of our local nutrition stores and they actually will mix up samples to try. I found one I really like that is s'mores flavor and tastes good just mixed with Water.

The products are a little more expensive than what I bought at the grocery store health market, but it's a lot cheaper than buying something, hating it and then throwing it away like I had been doing.

Hopefully you can find a place that does samples because everyone's taste buds are different. Good luck!

Personally, I like the Slim Fast high Protein vanilla shake, but I am weird.

I think the best tasting Protein powder is a brand called "Carb Solutions." Years ago it used to be sold at Walmart and places like that, but now the only place that I know of that sells it is Drugstore.com. It is a blend of Protein sources consisting of Soy Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, Sodium Caseinate, whey Protein Isolate, and Dried Egg White.

I only drink ready-to-drink shakes now, but up until about two years ago I used the powders. I would take this and blend it with some whey powder, which was cheaper. It would give a good flavor to the mix.

You can see the vanilla at:

And the chocolate is at:

I personally like Body Fortress Cookies & cream, Body Fortress Choc.& PB and six Star Choc. I compared them to Unjury. They do have SLIGHTLY higher fat & carbs, but lower sugars and higher protein!!!! Plus they are much easier to find (grocery store, Walmart etc) and MUCH cheaper! I am still pre op so the true test will be next week, when I am post op. See how they taste to me then...

I LOVE the Muscletech from Sams Club. It comes in chocolate or Vanilla. It can be made with skim milk, Water, hot, or cold. I have added it to cream of wheat, pudding for extra Protein. Also I have added half a pack of crystal light to the vanilla to change it up too. Lots and lots of versatility. The cost is VERY reasonable too.

      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.
