Janice1968 92 Posted March 4, 2015 Core power is the best tasting one I've found. 26 grams of protien in the regular and 20 in the light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chubbsey1 126 Posted March 4, 2015 This is a tough question because taste is a high individualized thing for example I don't care for premier Protein and alot of folks here swear by it. My two choices taste wise are Syntrax nectar Cookies and cream and muscletech from Vitamin shoppe are pretty good. Protein wise Body fortress whey has 30 g per scoop and premiere protein ( I can only stomach the vanilla) has 30 g protein per 11 0z container. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted March 4, 2015 My surgeon doesn't encourage use of Protein drinks, Banding is different I suppose than other WLS. However some times if I'm in a rush or want to give my band a rest, I drink them. Pure Protein has been the best , good protein ratio, to calories. I also like muscle milk.

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted March 4, 2015 There is no best. There are some brands more popular than others, but in the end the "best" powder is the one that works for you. I've tried several: Premiere Protein - sickly sweet Orgain Organics - I like the RTD but find it carb heavy. The powder can be gritty unless you have a nutra bullet or similar. Prosource NoCarb liquid - Good for those early post-op days but very sweet & thick. Needs to be diluted. However it will also work with hot beverages like tea. CVS Whey - Pretty good for a low price. They also have a sunfiber variety but that can be a bit sweet. Isopure Unflavored -My personal favorite. Mixes with hot or cold. Also mixes with yogurt, cottage cheese or Soup. Minimal ingredients - 100% pure whey isolate.< /li> Personally I think it's a matter of trial and error to find one that best suits you. Buy single serving or sample sizes of as many as possible and taste them for yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5BeautifulDays 68 Posted March 4, 2015 I like Unjury. It blends really smoothly and is fairly low-calorie (100 for 21 g protein). I mix mine in my morning coffee with a 1/4 cup of milk. It tastes great in smoothies, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gofigure 56 Posted March 4, 2015 I like unjury. It blends really smoothly and is fairly low-calorie (100 for 21 g protein). I mix mine in my morning coffee with a 1/4 cup of milk. It tastes great in smoothies, too. I can't get my Unjury to blend for the life of me!! Spoon, magic bullet, shaker bottle, warm Water, cold Water, room temp--it stays clumpy no matter what! I do. Same thing with Syntrax! (I've only tried fruity ones so far.) I think I'm Protein cursed. I really had high hopes for those, but unless I'm doing it wrong, I can't recommend either brand. I like premier and for pre-op, I'm using GNC lean shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enjoythetime 1,457 Posted March 4, 2015 Syntrax nectar chocolate truffle is my favorite. You can find it at the Vitamin Shoppe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like premier and for pre-op, I'm using GNC lean shakes. I don't use it. It has too many additives & artificial ingredients for my taste, but the best way to mix powdered ingredients is to take a scoop of whatever powder & add maybe a half of a tbsp of water or liquid and whisk that together then slowly add more if the liquid.

Rovobay 920 Posted March 5, 2015 I like the ready to drink Premier Protein. all 3 flavors are good. my favorite right now is the vanilla shake with a double espresso mixed in!!! My Breakfast everyday since pre-op has been a Premier Protein ready to drink shake. My post workout shake is different. I like the fruity flavors by Syntrax nectar. I am going through the fuzzy navel right now. great taste. contact the company and they can send you a sample pack ($15 for 15 different flavors or something). I have some Isopure unflavored just sitting in my cabinet, but I need to find out what to do with it. haven't had much luck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blashlee 509 Posted March 5, 2015 I love Cellucor Protein powders. They mix well, they're low calorie, high Protein, and low in carbs and sugar. These whey protein powders are designed for athletes who are looking to lose or maintain weight while gaining or maintaining lean muscle. They use very clean ingredients. They're really well priced. They dont have that funky protein aftertaste you get from a lot of powdered Proteins. And they have like 8 different flavors, you're almost guaranteed to find something you like. But i agree with the fact that everybody's preferences and tastes are different. I don't like chocolate protein, while some people think chocolate is the best thing ever. I prefer the more "unique" flavors such as Red Velvet Cake Batter and Peanut Butter Marshmallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
