Protein Shakes

[JennWeb 28]

I am getting sleeved in two weeks and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on Protein Shakes. Every shake I have tried taste to sweet for my liking.

I dont know if bulk nutrients ships to the US. They are an australian brand and are creamy but very mild flavour and definately not sweet.

Checked them out online. Looks like they only ship in Australia. Thank you though.

Maybe try the Unjury chicken Soup flavor or Celebrate Tomato Soup flavor if you want something more savory. Just keep in mind to use a food thermometer and mix with liquid under 140F.

You don't say which ones you've tried, but you might look into Syntax nectar flavors -- they have a bunch of flavors like Roadside Lemonade, Lemon Iced Tea, Fuzzy Navel, and Grapefruit that are based on citrus and are more on the tart side. You mix them with Water and that cuts down on the sweetness. You can also add in some Crystal Light or Mio SF flavorings to bump up the flavor level and tartness. I drank a lot of these in the first several weeks post-op because a lot of the other flavors were bothering me with being too thick and too sweet.

I like vanilla Premier Protein. They are sold in 12 packs at Sams Club for about $17.

unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein has been my savior. I can only do so much of the sweet... blech. I have also started mixing in PB2 into my banana, strawberry and vanilla shakes for some different flavor. It's powered Peanut Butter and it's AMAZING. It comes in regular and chocolate, my surgeon's office even sells it, but I was able to find it $2 cheaper at the grocery store!

I bought GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder from Amazon. It changes the color, consistency, and taste of liquids very little, so you hardly know it's there. You only need to use 1 scoop for 30 g of Protein. There are no fillers or Vitamins.

I mix it with 1 cup of 1% milk or unsweetened almond milk, and 2 tsp of Jello sugar free dry pudding mix. My current favorite is banana cream, but I've also had chocolate and vanilla. They are all great. I also mix the GENEPRO with homemade chicken broth, which is amazing because it just tastes like homemade chicken broth.< /p>

Thank you everyone. I'm going to check these out

There are some Decaf coffee Protein drinks out there also - if that is your thing. But adding the unflavored to broth is probably your best bet to avoid sweetness. I love the versatility of the unflavored.
