Protein Shakes....What's your favorite?



Recommended Posts

So we all know by now how popular the Premier Protein is, but Im curious what other kinds of Protein people are liking out there. I've heard a lot of suggestions for nectar and Isopure, but what are your favorite flavors??

There is a list in the food section that rates all the Protein shakes, in the subforum Protein Shakes.

My favorite is Gaspari Myofusion Peanut Butter and chocolate. I get it from vitacost.com

I like Syntrax Nectar fuzzy navel. I just ordered 2 other flavors from them. I usually mix it with a flavor stick. I also like to make Protein smoothies. My favorite is creamsicle. I use vanilla body fortress when I do this.

I love alot of the Syntrax Nectars because there are alot of fruit flavors instead of the same vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. My faves are fuzzy navel mixed with strawberry crush(flavoring stick for water), strawberry kiwi, Twisted cherry, lemon tea, and the lemonade. The possibilities of mixing them with other flavoring is endless. Oh I also like them because you can mix them with 16 of Water per scoop and get both 23 grams of Protein and 16oz of Water at the same time. But you can mix with milk if you like. For thicker style shake with milk I would recommend syntax matrix shakes. They come in flavors like mint cookie and Cookies and cream. They are truly wonderful. I hope this helps!!

I am not into making my own shakes so I buy the Muscle Milk Pro Series 40g Protein in 14 oz. in the mint chocolate flavor.

I haven't gotten a reply from my NUT yet, but I just asked him if I can drink it as I would Water or does is have to be taken slow like food. I am 4 1/2 weeks out and still on pureed foods but really like this Protein Shake but want to drink more than 3 oz at a time and drink it before it gets warm

Syntrax Matrix Peanut Butter Cookie. If you add a little PB2 it makes it extra peanuty.

I have almost every flavor that Sytrax Matrix comes in. They are all really good, and give you the most bang for the buck so to speak. 120 calories, 2 carbs, 25 grams of Protein. I like to mix the Peanut Butter flavor with Hood carb countdown chocolate milk and half Water.< /p>

I've had this shake for lunch twice this week. They have it at a gas station near my work. I love that I can get 40g in one shake. It takes me about an hour to finish it. I'm 3 weeks post op.

Syntrax matrix here too. LOVE the Peanut Butter cookie, but use them all. The vanilla is great in coffee for a latte!

Does anyone know the website that gives a free trial pack of Protein Shakes?

It really depends on your taste. I find Unjury and Chike to both be way too sweet. I currently use "About Time 100% Natural Whey Isolate." I got it at GNC, but they sell it in Amazon, too. I just get vanilla and if I want chocolate or other flavors, I add them in. It's not real sweet and blends up beautifully. Before that I used Isopure. I don't like any of the ready to drink stuff. Way too sweet!

I'm 3 days post op. I haven't tried many. The only ones I can seem to handle are the Special K proton shakes but there's only around 10-12 g of Protein for one. The large amounts of protein tend to hurt my stomach and I'm not sure why. I can only get down half if I'm lucky and then I end up throwing it out.

      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.
