Juliezy 0 Posted July 26, 2014 Can any one recommend a Protein Shake that doesn't make you want to gag? Right now I'm using Isopure from GNC, and I can barely get it down. I would love to have some pre-made shakes, but I can't find any that meets the requirements (ie. whey Protein, 25 grams minimum, less than 5 grams of sugar, etc). I KNOW I'm not getting all the protein I need because they taste so bad, sometimes I just don't drink it at all. Anybody have any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthyme1963 136 Posted July 26, 2014 I really didn't like any of the Protein shakes on the market, so I buy unflavored and vanilla Protein powder from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mix a scoop with diluted orange juice (4 oz. of 50 calorie orange juice/4 oz. of water). The unflavored powder doesn't take away from the flavor of the orange juice and the vanilla makes it taste a bit like orange cream (which I love!). I drink this first thing in the morning when I get up to get a 'protein jump' on my day. I haven't tried these powders with any other juice, but I imagine you could mix the unflavored powder with any low sugar juice. It's also handy to have at the end of the day if you haven't met your Protein goals. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drummergirl505 7 Posted July 26, 2014 I don't really like the milky drinks. I have been drinking nectar from Syntrax. They have a Fuzzy Navel, caribbean cooler (banana coconut), Tea with Lemon, and Lemonade flavors that I like. They are much better I think. There is 23 grams of Protein in one scoop and you mix it with 4-5 ounces of Water. I think it is worth a try. I was gagging down the milky drinks and now I enjoy my Protein Drinks. You can get the nectar at Vitamin Cottage or whatever in similar in your area. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beckyyb93 225 Posted July 26, 2014 I'd suggest getting some samples..Vitalady has samples of like 40+ Protein shakes for $2.99 each with $5 shipping. I just ordered 10 different flavors to try post-op and then figured I'd buy more of whatever I like. This is my second WLS so I already have a few favorite staples for right after surgery. My favorites are nectar chocolate, vanilla, Cookies and cream, and Cappuccino. I also like BSN lean Desserts banana pudding..it tastes just like banana pudding and is especially good with almond milk. The samples page for Vitalady is: http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&keywords=protsamp&SortKey=sku&SortOrder=ascending Also, I hate all of Isopure premades..they have this awful aftertaste...I do better with the sweeter ones.

Chelly 364 Posted July 26, 2014 I personally use Jay Robb whey Protein Powder in either the chocolate or vanilla flavors and doctor them up with either sugar free Torani syrups which come in a multitude of flavors or Walden Farms carmel, chocolate or marshmallow dips. I like to experiment and see what I can come up with each time for a change of pace. I just made a carmel shake with some of the sugar free Torani and some carmel dip from Walden Farms and it was so good. I know of some people that use a small scoop of sugar free pudding to add flavor to the Protein shakes. I hope you find something you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raeannr 1 Posted July 26, 2014 I cannot do the power Protein so what I've been doing is the Isopure Protein Drink that has 40g of protein and adding some crystal light to it so the flavor is better! All the other stuff makes me gag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuraVida37 715 Posted July 28, 2014 This morning I made the BEST shake ever!! I recently got a Nutra Ninja blender and put in my chocolate Protein shake (Bariatric Advantage), 8 oz skim milk, 2 tbs healthy Peanut Butter, and some Fiber. Oh yeah, and ICE! It came out like a Wendy's frosty and was SOOOOOOO good!!!! I will ALWAYS be using my Ninja for shakes from now on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
