What is everyones favorite Protein Drink?



Recommended Posts

I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet and I still don't like my Protein Drink. The Premier Protein drinks are not bad, but I have to blend them with ice first. It must be a texture thing. Please tell me what you like....

Syntrax Nectars! The fruit flavors are great mixed with Water.

I am still on the clear Proteins. I like the Isopure Green Tea Lemon. 40g per 20oz. bottle. I am only 3 days post-op though. I have not moved to the liquids yet that include non-clear Proteins yet. I have Isopure 0 carb 0 sugar vanilla powder and Syntrax nectar Cappuchino powder ready for that transition. I hope they are good too!

Premier Protein. chocolate and vanilla. I add Torani sugar free Salted Caramel Syrup to the Vanilla. yummy! For powders, I use Precision Engineered in chocolate and Vanilla. In addition to shakes, I will add the chocolate Protein Powder to sugar free Jello Chocolate pudding snack and I will add 1/2 scoop of the vanilla powder to 1/2 container of greek yogurt. For unflavored (which I am able to add to a few foods), I use Doc Hale’s Unflavored Protein Powder. This last one came in handy immediately post-op because you can mix it in as little 3 ounces of liquid (I would use Propel Fitness berry water) and could get in 20g Protein in only 3 or 4 ounces which really helps the first week when you can drink so little.

@@Elode - I was in search of my favorite winter coffee that is salted caramel. Never found an exact replacement but when I saw this flavor, I had to have it. It is VERY good. The only one I have used the whole bottle and need to get more. :) Mixed with the vanilla Premier Protein it tastes a bit like really good melted vanilla ice cream. Yummy!

I can't get over how much I like Premier Protein in the chocolate flavor. I have also tried several of the Bariatric Fusion powders that I just mixed with Water. I am ordering a supply of their chocolate chip mint ice cream flavor and the Orange cream flavor. I purchased a sampler selection from them and really liked these two. The only one that was just awful - their strawberry shortcake flavor. Just awful I mean awful grit and aftertaste for me. Hope this helps.

Sounds wonderful. I've only found and used the hazelnut and vanilla. Are you talking about the Starbucks salted caramel drink? That use to be my favorite except they were always out of the dang salt!! I can't have them anymore though :( Stupid sugar!

I'm 6 days post op and i've been having trouble getting my Protein in. I'm not crazy about the Protein shakes. So today I put a half scoop of 'Way Protein isolate' (Jay Robb) unflavored and a packet of sugar-free 'Alpine spiced Apple Cider' in a Blender Bottle and added 8 ounces of hot Water.

It is surprisingly good, it looks like tea with a little bit of milk added, but has no Gritty or bad aftertaste.

My 8 ounces equals 13 g of protein

@@Elode - Yes that is the drink I was talking about! I actually first had it at this cool little coffee shop in the town near me and the Starbucks one was NOWHERE near as good as that one! FYI, not sure where you live but World Market (we have stores here but I think you can get them online too) have TONS of the sugar free Torani flavors.

VCORE Cookies and cream - Complete Nutrition is my favorite. It is not thick like other Protein powders I have tried. I also use premier chocolate powder, but it is a bit thicker.

      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.
