Does anyone actually like their protein drink?

I mix the EAS French Vanilla with Decaf coffee in the morning. I also use the snack size premiere Protein. Both shakes are only 100 calories each. I have the French Vanilla everyday.

Chike is insanely good. They have one that tastes just like a creamsicle.

I blend all of their flavors with ice to make it coolatta style and add Torani Syrup to the vanilla flavor to make gingerbread, etc.

No, I hate Protein Shakes and will not drink them. I stopped drinking them as soon as I hit my 2 weeks post op. I expressed to my doctor that I would rather get my Protein from food sources and not a Protein Shake. I'm doing well getting my protein in daily. I find high protein seafood to eat like; shrimp, scallops and fish. I do eat a lot of chicken too.

Me too. I hate them. They're gross...have yet to try one I like enough to get down. I find many have a slimy "under-texture" and leave a bad taste.

I still drink them a few times a week but try to get my protein from real food.

unjury strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. I just just tried Body Logic with Stevia that my PA at surgeon's office suggested, and liked the chocolate.

When I feel ambitious or just can't take another RTD chocolate shake, I go to Dashing Dish's website. Just made a pumpkin pie Protein Shake for the hubby and I: cottage cheese, one scoop Protein Powder, canned pumpkin, spices, sweetener of choice and ice/milk blended to desired consistency. Thick, creamy and a great flavor change up. She also has an amazing "Shamrock" shake or mint Protein shake that includes a handful of spinach. These take me 5 minutes to make and then rinse the blender out even so I too am lazy so this effort only happens on the weekends.

honestly I know ive mentioned ive done tons of Protein drink video taste tests on my blog, but the Syntrax Nectar and matrix products are hands down the best. I wont use GENEPRO because of the obvious lie they use. they say you get 30 grams of protein in 15 grams of product which as you canguess is not possible. Ive called them out on this several times and they just delete my posts so I know they are not being truthful.

I like a few Isopure ready made drinks, the black tea being the best period. alpine punch and prange are decent . my favorites now are the Syntrax nectar vanilla torte, the syntrax nectar Cappuccino and the syntrax nectar fuzzy navel, I found using 1% milk with shakes like vanilla cappuccino etc. but Water with flavors like cherry, fuzzy navel etc.

      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.
