Protein Shakes suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Unjury powder tastes alright

Isopure powder has more Protein

Synrax powder mixes better

Celebrate tastes alright, mixes alright, but takes twice as much product for the same amount of protein as Unjury

Syntax Matrix, Syntrax Nectar, and Muscle Milk all have outstanding flavor selections. Besides those I've also had Jay Rob, Garden of Life, un jury and Spirutein

I am doing the same thing right now. Isopure Cookies and Cream tastes weird. It has a funky aftertaste and is pretty sweet. I did mix it with some chocolate almond milk and it was more bearable.

I am still waiting for Premier shakes to come in, along with EAS, GNC Total Lean and about 3 flavors of Syntrax nectar. (All of those shakes were suggested by other people on here.)

Right now I am trying out substituting some meals with shakes so when I get to the pre-op diet I am not completely shocked! :)

I stick with Premier Protein chocolate. I have tried EAS and Muscle Milk but always go back to Premier shakes.

Premiere Protein shakes all the way! I have tried all of them at it is by far the best tasting. You get 30mg a shake and the cheapest place to buy them is Sam's for $19.00 a case. The best!

I use Bariatric Advantage from Amazon. chocolate is my favorite. Now I'm using GNC Cookies and cream, also

CVS sells individual packets of their brand. I love their strawberry. I had them order me a carton and keep packets with me in the car ( I'm in sales and drive all day.

Also I now use GENEPRO Protien (Amazon) this is for post surgery and is tasteless n can be added to crystal light drinks, oatmeal, anything really to boost Protein content. The GENEPRO Is really great directly after surgery when it is hard to get all the Protein in.

Good luck!!!

Just started to try a few samples my clinics office gave me. They are all Syntrax nectar. The good so far: Fuzzy Navel (waaay good), Cappucino, and vanilla Bean Torte. The only other one I tried was Cookies and Cream and that I did not like at all. My nutritionist suggested mixing them with almond milk. They shake up and blend really well in the hand shaker thing with the wire ball inside.

Thant's all I know so far :)

You really need to taste them because each person will like something different. I had specific needs: no soy isolate, no artificial dyes, and no stevia. I tried a bunch of different ones. I ended up with 3 I use depending on what I am eating: CVS whey powder, Orgain Organic premade shakes and Prosource liquid Protein in neutral flavor.

I bought a bunch of samples from Nashua Nutrition for $1.95 each. They even package samples for products that don't manufacture and individual serving size. I LOVED being able to order such a large variety of samples and not be stuck with tubs of mix I can't stand. I do love the Peanut Butter cookie Protein Powder. It is amazing!

Muscle milk cookie n cream is amazing! I love it.

GNC vanilla is ok. It would be better if mixed in a smoothie. Pure Protein mint chocolate chip is awful.

      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.
