Best whey protein powder



Recommended Posts

you're probably going to get a lot of different opinions - people's tastes are different. I personally like products by Syntrax and unjury. Some companies have one-serving packets - you can always try some of those to see what you like before buying huge tubs of something you might not be crazy about.

Whichever Protein powder you choose, make sure it's either whey protein isolate or soy protein isolate. Those two are the highest quality, most absorbable Proteins out they.

These have been my favorite:

Syntrax-Nectar-Whey-Protein-Isolate-Vani

Plus they come in single serve pouches! Oh and this little gadget was a life saver:

BPA_Free_Blender_Ball_Plastic_Protein_Sh

There are good shaker (blender) bottles and not so great. Amazon has some for less than $10 and are well worth the money.

I really like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Body-Fortress-Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Super-Advanced-Whey-Protein-Powder-32-oz/39649622

It's a very good price, and it's 30g of Protein a scoop and tastes like brownie batter! I put one scoop in 8 oz of milk and would have that three times a day. With the 8g of Protein from the milk, it would end up being 114g of protein just from three cups every day. They have a chocolate Peanut Butter and vanilla flavor too. ^_^

I use Precision Engineering Whey Protein Isolate the chocolate one and the vanilla one. They are both good. I love even the smell of the Vanilla! For unflavored I use Doc Hale's Whey-licious. I haven't experimented much with the other flavors. instead I just add flavors to these to get what I want. Eggface website has a lot of recipes - http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-favorite-protein-shake-recipes.html

Remember your tastes may change after surgery so try not to buy huge batches now if you can help it and try samples whenever you can to see what you think before spending the money on larger portions.

Hey ashlegal thank you very much thxz for tha picz would it be cheaper on Amazon or in a store thxz again and have a niceday / nicenite god bless

The only place I ever found that brand was at Vitaminshoppe and they were not only more expensive than Amazon but they didn't have as big as a variety. Plus, having everything mailed was much more convenient.

Chike is my absolute favorite, particularly their iced coffee and chocolate. You have to order them online, but they have a starter sample pack with a single serving of each of their flavors. Like everyone said, people's preferences vary but Chike's the best for me :-)

1 baby girl, you can get all the nectar products from mybariatricpantry.com. They have a sample pack and will let you ask for specific flavors. And I found them great to work with!

Hi there! My surgery was just 9/2. I was very persistent before surgery and wanted to make sure I had my cabinets full of what I needed, but the day I got home from surgery...my taste buds completely changed. It's also SO HARD to take Protein in right now and the easiest way is through room temp Isopure. Don't spend too much money on all sorts of protein until maybe a couple weeks after surgery. :) To me, Protein Shakes are too thick! I still can't drink them comfortably. Best of luck!! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
