Protein brand help



Recommended Posts

So everywhere I go I see EVERYONE drinks premire Protein. Now I know i can get a bulk of it at Sam's Club but I can't find a single or a 4 pack to try before I splerge on a big pack.

Any other brands that are just like this brand or even better? Help please

I don't care for Premier, I prefer either Unjury or Muscle MIlk like pre-mixed. however, i know there are a TON of brands out there.

for ME, Premier were too thick. I like a thinner shake much more, and with ice and extra milk added to it!

Its all about ones taste buds i think muscle milk is thick and prefer premier you can go to Walmart and but a 4 pack of premere and try it for yourself, but remember your tastebuds will change and although you may like one Protein Shake now it may change, it may be too sweat or to thick. Good luck.

That's what I'm never about whether or not I'd like it after surgery

I've tried EAS carb control chocolate shakes. I'd rank them right behind Premier Protein chocolate in how good they taste. EAS is sold in 4 packs at Walmart, for about $5/per pack. I've never seen Premier Protein Shakes sold individually or in 4 packs.

If you like EAS, then I think you'll like Premier even better.

I love Premier Protein!! It took a week for my taste buds to get used to them, but there are times where I crave one. I have never seen them in a 4 pack.

If you're looking to try something available in a 4-pack, try those Atkins shakes maybe?? There's a woman whose weight loss website I have been reading for a year, and when she goes on a sugar detox, she likes to drink those 1 every other hour from 8 am to 5 pm I believe, then she eats a low carb dinner.< /p>

I started with Unjury, which I thought was good with light vanilla soy milk.. It didn't take long before I got really tired of having to mix it so I switched to Premier. It tastes ok.. when I first started drinking it, I would try my best not to smell it cause it's a little off-putting.. but it's not bad. After 5 months of drinking Protein Shakes, I've stuck with it.. not because it's the best tasting, but because it's the most convenient. Although, I must admit.. I do appreciate that it has more Protein and vitamins/minerals as well.

Yeah there are 4 packs but it's impossible to fine I've checked EVERYWhere even tried to buy a 4 pack online and I couldn't it's like I'mpossible. I think I'm just gonna say eff it and buy the big pack after surgery and learn to love it. I've tried Unjury shakes but I don't feel like I'll always want to blend it myself haha!

I just found a local brand that a health food store in my town makes. It's medical quality and I've gotta say, it's darn good!

I have been using Isopure because it's low carb but they seemed a little grainy and, I know this will sound weird, but felt like they dried out my lips.

The one from the health food store is only 150 calories, 3 carbs and 25 grams of Protein and it's super thin. The strawberry tastes really good. I'm going to try the banana tomorrow.

unjury sells an assortment of single packs so that you can try different flavors. I ordered before surgery and then tried them after surgery to see which ones I liked. The Milk Muscle light chocolate is good. I buy a case at costco.

      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.
