Bufflehead 6,358 Posted May 1, 2016 You aren't supposed to find something great, so give up on that idea. Some people do, but most people find something palatable or something they can choke down. It's never going to taste like a milkshake! My favorites are Chike, Syntrax Matrix, Syntrax Nectar Sweets, and Unjury chocolate Splendor. The taste of the shake can really vary depending on what you mix it with. I generally use unsweetened cashew milk, which has a much milder taste than soy, almond, or dairy milk (plus is lower calorie). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted May 1, 2016 Everything by Chike has been golden. Their Mocha and their coffee Protein powders are outfreakingstanding. My next try will be the new powders by Quest Nutrition. I love their bars and chips......hoping their powders are great, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejenn 173 Posted May 1, 2016 Syntax nectar is the only one I can tolerate and I've ordered samples from all over. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted May 1, 2016 I switched to Quest Protein powder. I love the vanilla because with very little effort and imagination I can make them taste into fabulous things.--using extracts. Root beer floats Lemon +/or orange smoothies Anise delights maple Breakfast shake Iced coffee splendor Almond twists Raspberry and Peanut Butter yummies or just delicious vanilla shake Any flavoring extract added to Vanilla Quest powder varies the taste so I never get bored. GNC offers samples of all of the flavors Quest offers. Worth a try, yes? Happy hunting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SusanB55 89 Posted May 1, 2016 We like Body Fortress chocolate whey non-isolate. We mix it with 1% milk, PB2 and maybe a tad of banana. So yummy. About $18 at Walmart.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted May 1, 2016 I like the Syntrax powders because they mix easier. Also, I think the flavors are true to the natural flavor. If I feel like I am missing Peppermint Patties, I will have a chocolate mint shake. Today I had peach, made with almond milk. In my pantry right now, I also have vanilla, strawberry, pumpkin Pie Spice, and Grapefruit. Oddly enough, the grapefruit mix in sugar free lemonade tastes like Fresca.

cindyb15 3 Posted May 1, 2016 I couldn't either cbchvz76. I have actually learned to drink premixed Protein Drinks, I am currently drinking Premiere shakes, each one has 30 grams of Protein. I am currently suffering Hair loss and I know it's because I need to step up the Proteins. Don't give up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted May 1, 2016 I like GNC Lean shake 25 (orange cream), Syntrax nectar (fuzzy navel), and premier Protein. I recently tried the Quest salted caramel and really liked it, too. I've tried a few and they are so gross! Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App What have you tried?

jackson0024 3 Posted May 2, 2016 I was doing the Atkins shakes for awhile which I really liked but wanted to go to something that closely shadowed the reccommendations that were given to us. I switched to Cellucor Whey Protein that I got from GNC. It comes in a variety of flavors, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry milkshake, Cookies and cream, Peanut Butter marshmallow, cookie dough, etc. I am using the peanut marshmallow one now which in One scoop has 130 calories, 25g of Protein, 1g fat, 4g carb, and 2g sugar. http://www.gnc.com/Cellucor-COR-Performance-Whey-Protein/product.jsp?productId=68165746&cp=3593182.3703232 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted May 2, 2016 My favorite is Precision Engineered whey Protein Isolate. The chocolate is very good and the vanilla even smells heavenly. I originally got the suggestion from someone on this board nearly a year ago now and it is still the only one I buy. Oh also I sometimes mix 1/2 scoop of vanilla with Greek Yogurt (Dannon Light & Fit Strawberrry Cheesecake and then the Key Lime are my favorites). I also will mix 1/2 scoop of the chocolate with sugar free Chocolate pudding snack. I just ordered the powder in fruit Punch for a change. Will report back to let you know how that one is.

LondonHawk 39 Posted May 2, 2016 I have been using Dynamatize from GNC it seems to pack the most Protein for the calories and it isn't super sweet. I also have the Inspire Bariatric mix but dont like it as much. I add a frozen half a banana to my morning drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted May 2, 2016 I really enjoy the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor with pb powder or sometimes with half a banana. I use the fairlife milk in mine. But after one month my plan wants me getting most of my Protein from food, so the shakes have become a treat for me now and then when I need to grab something on the go.

taxudown 44 Posted May 2, 2016 I have used UMP powder by Beverly Intl for a year and a half now while working with my trainer pre op. It's the best - I put half a banana in there with 1% milk. It's good. Have strawberry chocolate and vanilla Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
